St. Joseph Farmington Athletic Association

The Athletic Association is a group of parishioners that work together in order to provide the children of our parish opportunities to participate and compete in sports.  The AA provides the funding, equipment, instruction, and officiating for various sports to enhance the spiritual and physical growth of the parish children participating.  All activities are open to all children of the parish within the guidelines of academic eligibility and parental permission.  The association’s goal is to allow our Catholic identity to shine through in the children’s athletic competition and parents’ involvement.  An emphasis is placed on respecting other competitors, coaches and officials; working toward a common goal; improving skills; and having fun in a Catholic environment.
