Jesuit currently fields 15 sports representing 36 teams at
various levels that are supported by more than 80 coaches.
In our 49 years of existence, Jesuit has won 237 league
championships and 99 section titles, more than any other boys
program in the greater Sacramento region. During the
2010-2011 school year our Soccer team was ranked second in the
nation and our Rugby team won the National Championship.
Thirteen of our 15 sports reached their respective league or
section championship game/tournament and 12 student athletes
signed letters of intent to play a collegiate sport.
The baseball program at Jesuit High School exists to provide the
prospective student-athlete with a well-rounded high school
experience. Athletics are an integral part of the overall
educational philosophy at Jesuit High School. The diamond is no
different from the classroom, the laboratory, or lecture hall.
Baseball at the high school level is a learning experience- a
chance to mature through self-discipline, competition,
sportsmanship, achievement and failure. Success and failure are
not necessarily quantified in terms of wins, league titles, or
section championships.
The philosophy of basketball at Jesuit High School is based on
the assumption that all players are dedicated to the
contributions they can make to the TEAM.
If we are to be successful, we must excel in the TEAM aspects of
the game. We must be more dedicated than our opponents. We must
be in better condition. We must be willing to subjugate personal
glory for the good of the TEAM. And most important, we must be
tougher physically and defensively than anyone we play.
The JHS lacrosse program was established as a club team in 2006.
Following the success in 2006 and the growing popularity of
lacrosse in the greater Sacramento area, the JHS program along
with five other Sacramento area schools, joined CIF Sac-Joaqin
section. In six seasons, JHS now fields very competitive Varsity
and JV teams and lacrosse is a cut sport. Known as the “Fastest
Sport on Foot” as well as a hard hitting and physical game,
lacrosse requires young men to be in excellent physical
condition.
“Our aim is not to produce a champion, but to provide an
atmosphere where champions are inevitable. However,
swimming is a means to an end; to build self-confidence,
self-discipline, integrity, and courage for life.”
