The Solano/Pittsburg Athletic League

The Solano/Pittsburg Athletic League (SPAL) is an integral part of the educational mission of the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Sacramento and the Diocese of Oakland. The SPAL is dedicated to fostering Christian values and human development, encouraging a positive vision and attitude in our young men and women through exercise, example, teamwork, and athletic competition, and fully recognizing the dignity of each student in Christ’s image. The SPAL acknowledges and upholds the vital role of all parents and volunteers in the SPAL schools.

The athletic program at St. Catherine of Siena School is motivated and guided by the philosophy and goals outlined in our Parent/Student Handbook. However, for the smooth operation of this program, some other goals and guidelines are necessary. Before listing them, the Administration wishes to acknowledge parents' and coaches’ support, participation, and cooperation, without whom the athletic program would not exist.
