Mission
The purpose of the Saint Peter’s Athletic Association is to provide and promote recreational activity that will lead to the development of Christian ideals in the children of our parish and their families.
2025 Spring Track Registration Information
Saint Peter’s will again be forming a Track & Field team this spring, participating in the Columbus League. Because we love running and want to share our love of the sport with your children, we welcome all skill levels from the new to the seasoned runner and have a place for every child to reach their fitness and competitive goals while representing their school/parish and having fun. The team will be coached by Julia Caponiti and Jennifer Norris, with several assistant coaches as well.

REGISTRATATION INFORMATION:
- Registration will open Monday, February 3 and close Monday, February 17.

INTERESTED IN COACHING?
In order for the Track & Field team to run smoothly, we rely heavily on volunteer assistant coaches. Our program is always looking for coaches with a passion for youth sports and are committed to modeling fair play for our student athletes. If you are interested in coaching or volunteering with the team, please contact Julia Caponiti at [email protected] as soon as possible. All volunteers that have children at Saint Peter’s School will receive 5 hours of volunteer time for Saint Peter’s School. All volunteers need to complete the Archdiocese of Washington Child Protection program. If you need information about completing the Archdiocese of Washington Child Protection program, please contact Rob Carlsen at [email protected].

All SPAA volunteers must complete the Archdiocese of Washington's Child Protection Requirements, which can be found at https://stpetersolney.org/child-protection.

If you're interested in coaching a SPAA team, please contact SPAA Coordinator Rob Carlsen at [email protected].
