Welcome from the Athletic Director

A letter from the Director of Athletics

On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches and support staff, we welcome you to Roncalli Athletics! At Roncalli, we strongly believe in the role athletics plays in the development of a young person’s life and its lasting impact. We have a tremendous opportunity to help student-athletes discover their roles and God-given abilities while being challenged and pushed to be the best version of themselves. Roncalli is blessed to have phenomenal student-athletes, transformative coaches and a supportive community.

Students will have the opportunity to choose from 24 varsity sports during the course of their time at Roncalli – while over 70% of the student body will participate in a sport on an annual basis. The time spent on these teams are simply an extension of the classroom, and athletics provides an opportunity for both student-athletes and coaches to fulfill the mission of the school.

Roncalli is also proud of the accomplishments of our Royals! Seven Royal teams have captured State Championships (Baseball – 2016; Boys Volleyball – 2018, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025; Football – 1985, 1988, 1993, 1994, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2016, 2020; Softball – 1999, 2001, 2011, 2021, 2022; Girls Volleyball – 1981, 1998, 2006, 2024; Wrestling – 2025; Girls Bowling -2025).

The 2024-25 school year was exceptional for our athletic teams! Four state champs highlighted our athletic seasons: Boys and Girls Volleyball, Wrestling and Girls Bowling, all brought home state titles!! Also, we had two student athletes named All-American in their respective sports: Logan Bell (volleyball), and Summer Fishel (soccer). What an unbelievable accomplishment!

We are incredibly proud too, of our over 50 graduates competing at the NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III and NAIA levels! Best of luck to all of our Royals this school year!

Blessings,
