Football, Baseball & Softball Registration Information

In addition to our SHCA Sports offered, we partner with additional organizations:

Registering for Fall Football

There are two catholic school football programs in the South Hills that take part in the Diocesan league – The South Hills Chargers (Football and Cheer) and the St. Louise Trojans (Football only). Our students at SHCA can choose the program they wish to join – the Chargers or the Trojans.

We ask that you register your child on the SHCA Athletic Association website regardless of which football/cheer program you join. SHCA collects no fees for football – we just must track where our students are playing in the Diocese program. You still must register separately with the Chargers or Trojans.

South Hills Chargers – Registration for the South Hills Chargers football and cheer programs will open in June. If you have questions or need anything clarified, please contact Danielle Prince (daniellemprince@gmail.com). All the instructions about payment and physicals will be in the actual registration form itself. Equipment pickup will be towards the end of July.

St. Louise Trojans – Registration for St. Louise Trojan football is now open and here is the link to the registration form: https://registration.teamsnap.com/form/6219. You can fine general information about the program here – Football – St. Louise de Marillac School.

Registering for Spring Baseball and Softball

St. Louise de Marillac school offers spring baseball and softball leagues:

• If SHCA has enough players to fill a team at a grade level, they can have their own team in the league, with a parent of one of the players coaching
• If SHCA does not have enough players for their own teams, they can still play on other teams in the St. Louise Baseball/Softball Organization
• St. Louise Baseball/Softball Organization handles everything – uniforms, schedules, etc.

If you have any questions, please contact stlouisebaseball@gmail.com. All practices and home games are played at St. Louise de Marillac Church Fields.

We also ask that you register your child on the SHCA Athletic Association website. SHCA collects no fees for baseball or softball – we just track where our students are playing in Diocese programs. You still must register separately with the St. Louise de Marillac Baseball/Softball Program.

Registering for Multiple Sports in a Season

Students are allowed to take part in multiple sports during a season. For example, a 6th grade girl can potentially register for Girls Volleyball, Soccer and Cross Country for the Fall season.

While the Athletic Association tries to minimize overlapping practice times for the multiple sports offered during a season that is not always possible with restrictions on access to fields and gyms, not to mention the availability of coaches.

Also, the Athletic Association has no control over when the various leagues will schedule games, meets and matches.

Please keep this in mind when you register your children for sports. Make sure they can commit to being at the practices and events for the sports they sign up for.
