Curriculum for Athletes

Each Wednesday in the Fall, all freshmen athletes participate in our Sports Leadership Institute which features both Morris Catholic alumni and prominent figures in the world of sports.

The goal is to introduce all athletes to what we call "The Crusader Way". Built on respect, leadership, sacrifice and faith, The Crusader Way is at the very fabric of Morris Catholic athletics. You'll see it in our coaching staff and in our trainers. Most of all, you'll notice it in our student athletes.
