Athletics

The basketball program is composed of six separate teams. 

The 5th- and 6th-grade program (Junior Varsity) has two boys' teams and one girls' team.  The 7th- and 8th-grade program (Varsity) also has two boys' teams and one girls' team. 

Practices normally begin in mid-October, and the season ends with a league tournament at the end of February.  This tournament involves all PECSAA league teams in a single-elimination tournament.

Only four hours of practice are allowed per week.  League games are played primarily on Saturdays, while non-league games may be played during the week.

Cheerleading is offered in grades 5 through 8 during basketball season. 

5th- and 6th-grade students make up the JV squad, and 7th and 8th graders cheer on the Varsity squad.  The JV and Varsity squads normally cheer for their respective teams.  

Our golf team comprises co-ed middle school students.

The team practices two afternoons per week, competes against each school in the PECSSA conference twice, and finishes the season with a conference match.  

St. Pius X fields both boys and girls lacrosse teams.

In lacrosse, St. Pius competes in a separate conference that includes Forsyth Country Day, Greensboro Day, Caldwell Academy, and Summit Academy. Lacrosse typically practices two afternoons per week, with 1-2 matches per week and a conference tournament at the end of the season.

St. Pius has both a boys and girls middle school soccer team. 

The boys' team plays in the Fall and the girls play in the Spring.

Soccer is a PECSAA conference sport, and we play every team two times during the season. The league championship is based on teams' overall records. Our soccer teams typically practice two afternoons per week after school and play two matches per week.

Our middle school tennis comprises middle school boys and girls.

Similar to lacrosse, our tennis team plays outside of our conference against Greensboro Day, Sacred Heart, and Canterbury, and it competes in the Triad Youth Tennis League.

Practice is 1-2 afternoons per week at a tennis facility off-campus. Matches are once per week throughout the season.

Track is the only sport Saint Pius X allows for the participation of students in grades K through 8. 

The PECSAA track meet is normally held in mid-May and is the only event of the track season.  An SPX mini-track meet is held before the PECSAA meet for practice and further participation. 

Although we normally place every participant in PECSAA, the structure of the meet only permits a limited number of competitive slots.  If we have an excessive number of children, we will have to limit the number of participants for the PECSAA main track meet, which is held at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School in Kernersville.

Most events are track races, with only one jumping event per meet.

Our cross country team comprises 4th-8th grade boys and girls.

Cross Country practices are 2-3 days per week at an off-campus course. There are between five and eight meets per season.

Cross Country is not a conference sport, and we typically run against Sacred Heart, Greensboro Day, Canterbury, and Forsyth Country Day School.

Volleyball at Saint Pius X is a co-ed sport.  Grades 5 and 6 make up the JV team, and grades 7 and 8 are our Varsity players.

Each on-court team consists of at least three girls and no more than three boys.  Players are rotated into the game at the coach's discretion, and there is no league rule requiring participation. 

The season begins in September and runs until mid-October.  Games are played on Saturdays, except for one weeknight game.  The season ends with a single-elimination tournament.
