| Saint Gertrude High School Athletic Department serves as
an extension on the values and philosophies of the school as a whole.
Athletics at Saint Gertrude serves as a way to promote healthy lifestyles
and fitness for life. While some Gator student athletes go on to
continue their athletic participation on the collegiate level, Saint
Gertrude's emphasis is on teamwork, commitment, strong effort and
good sportsmanship. |

| The number of student athletes allowed on a particular team
will vary by sport, but every attempt is made to accommodate those
girls who wish to participate. Cuts are made when the athlete is
not prepared for the level of competition and/or the number of girls
trying out for the team exceeds the coach's ability to provide and
rewarding experience for all involved. |

| Saint Gertrude's primary athletic affiliations include the
League of Independent Schools (LIS), the Virginia Catholic League
and the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA).
Along with playing teams in these leagues, Saint Gertrude's athletic
schedule includes competition with area public schools. Mike Woodson
