Athletics

Welcome to our Athletics Page!
At St. Philip Neri, our Athletic Program is dedicated to nurturing the whole child, emphasizing both individual growth and the core values of our Catholic faith. We believe every young athlete deserves the opportunity to participate in our sports programs, regardless of their skill level or financial situation. Our commitment to affordability sets us apart, as we strive to keep our fees low compared to other sports organizations while maximizing the number of home games at our own Activity Center. We invite ALL parish youth to come join the excitement and uncover one of the many reasons why St. Philip Neri is truly Florence’s best-kept secret!
