St. Matthew Mustangs
12 sports across four seasons — and a spot for every child in the parish, no matter where they go to school.
Every child in the parish family belongs here
The St. Matthew Athletic Association brings together families from across the parish to support the sports programs offered through the Diocesan Recreation Association.
Your child is welcome here no matter where they go to school — St. Matthew School, another private school, public school, or homeschool.
Our volunteer coaches and assistants are more than sports instructors. They are mentors who help guide your child’s athletic journey, and it is a joy to watch kids develop not only as athletes but as young people. Sports begin as early as kindergarten, giving even our youngest parish members a chance to discover their talents and make new friends.
We can’t wait to cheer on your student.
12 sports, four seasons
Registration opens well before each season starts. Open the sport for fees, practice locations, and key dates.

Open to everyone
Any child in the parish family can play — St. Matthew School, another school, or homeschool.
Volunteer coaches
Parish parents who are trained, background-checked, and here to mentor as much as to coach.
Play with your grade
Teams are formed by grade level. Most sports have no evaluations — everyone who registers plays.
Uniforms provided
St. Matthew supplies the uniform for most sports. Each sport page lists what your athlete brings.
