Early Childhood Athletics Program in TX | The Regis School Inquire Apply Give Inquire Spiritwear Employment Academic Calendar Early Childhood Athletics Participation, Collaboration & Social Development The athletics program in Early Childhood provides opportunities for boys in Pre-K3 & Pre-K4 to participate in school-sponsored athletics teams. All boys who wish to participate are welcomed onto a parent volunteer-led team. Early Childhood athletics focus on the development and formation of the Five Sacred Heart Goals in each player. Boys learn how to approach competition with passion, grace and humility; how to work as part of a team; and how to practice good sportsmanship. The program in Pre-K emphasizes physical, mental and social development for athletes and coaches alike. Each player has the opportunity to develop his self-esteem in a fun, collaborative and competitive environment. The program at this level also allows for equal playing time for all athletes.

In an effort to provide the most positive experience for our students, Regis has partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). The PCA is a Stanford University based non–profit organization that works with coaches and parents to help teach young athletes not only to win, but also to learn about teamwork, discipline, and respect through their sports experience.
