Explore Our Athletics Program
The goal of the Saint Joseph Academy athletics program is to encourage, teach and coach our students to compete on a Division I level. Our athletics program is designed to provide a quality athletics experience for students and the opportunity to learn valuable life skills in a faith-filled environment.
A variety of sports are offered each season, which allows for more than half of our students to participate in a varsity sport. Our athletes are encouraged to cultivate teamwork, leadership, fitness, sportsmanship, and learn how they can take those irreplaceable skills beyond the fields and courts of the Academy.
Strong leadership runs through the core of our Athletics Program. Athletic Director Mr. John Manuszak was named the Northeast Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association's 2020 Tim Flannery Horizon honoree. The Tim Flannery Horizon Award is presented to an association member who exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism. This award is presented to an individual who has demonstrated clear signs of professionalism and involvement at their school, local and state levels. In the 2018-19 school year, Mr. Manuszak was selected as Athletic Director of the Year, an award presented by the Northeast Alliance of Catholic Athletic Administrators. The Alliance presents the award to a person from a member school who demonstrates commitment, service and dedication to Catholic education through athletics.

Buyer, TJX Companies, Inc., graduate of Boston College, Athletic Hall of Fame Honoree, 2015While titles, medals and trophies were treasured, it was the teamwork that went into training that I truly valued. Athletics at Saint Joseph Academy taught me about commitment and accountability, trust, support, compassion and understanding. I learned how to manage high-pressure situations in a constructive manner. Watching my coaches and serving as team captain developed my leadership skills, which play an important role in my career today. -
