We believe strongly in the ideal of “Pursuing Victory with Honor.” The commitment to hard work, dedication to the team, respect for all, and good sportsmanship are cornerstones of our athletic programs. All Austin CatholicHigh School coaches, players, parents, and fans are expected to always uphold and display these qualities. Crusader Athletics is guided by the belief that faith and community must come first and that participation in athletics must be accompanied by excellence in the classroom. Our athletic programs also believe in the value of competition and the life lessons that are learned as a result of participation in a competitive program.

The goal of our athletic programs is for our scholar–athletes to develop life skills that include: the ability to work with others effectively, the ability to lead others in a positive manner, the ability to perform at his/her best in competitive situations, the ability to enjoy athletic activities, and the ability to develop a lifetime personal fitness philosophy. We offer multiple sports during all three sport seasons. The majority of our students participate in at least one sport, with many participating in two or more over the course of the school year.
