The athletic programs are organized by SJRS parents and volunteers who oversee and runs these programs.  Our teams generally participate in local leagues such as Concord Parks and Recreation and the Merrimack Basketball League.  Fees, charged to participate in these programs, generally cover the league entrance fees and uniform and equipment costs.  Additional fees, required to operate the programs, such as gym or field time are paid for with monies raised from fundraising activities.
