Sports

The Holy Trinity Bowling league has six teams and meets every Sunday afternoon from the beginning of December to the beginning of March. Twenty-three students from grades 1-8 meet at Lincoln Lanes in Latrobe and bowl against each other. There is more fun than competition and students learn how to bowl and make friends with teammates of different grades. This is the 5th season for the Holy Trinity Bowling league.

Girls in grades 4-8 and boys in grades 5-8 make up the Holy Trinity Volleyball teams. The Diocese of Greensburg has a Volleyball league that consists of girls junior varsity teams (grades 4-6) girls varsity (7-8) and boys teams (grades 5-8). Students practice and travel to compete with other teams in the Diocese. Volleyball season begins in April and ends with the Diocesan Tournament in May.

A recent addition to the activities at Holy Trinity School this year is the track club.     Students in grades K-8 are eligible to participate in this activity. Parents and students practice relay races and play other running games. The older students also practice on two cross-country routes.

The ultimate Frisbee team finished their first season. This is a group of Holy Trinity students who love to run and play Frisbee. They have mastered basic skills and really entry Frisbee football. They have even encouraged the local YMCA to have a Frisbee clinic and outdoor practice sessions.

The Holy Trinity High Flyers from Holy Trinity School in Ligonier, Pennsylvania are in their third year as a demonstration team for the American Heart Association (AHA).  Since its inception, the team has demonstrated at numerous schools across southwestern Pennsylvania before thousands of students, sparking interest in the sport of jump rope and teaching the importance of good nutrition, physical activity and staying tobacco-free. Last year, the team traveled to the State Capitol in Harrisburg to demonstrate in the Capitol Rotunda at a press conference highlighting the AHA’s Go Red for Women campaign.  The lieutenant governor, lawmakers and representatives from the Department of Health all attended the press conference.  Additionally, the Holy Trinity High Flyers have demonstrated at other venues including Idlewild Park, Sandcastle, and the Children’s Museum in Pittsburgh.  Several members of the team finished last year qualifying for the AAU Junior Olympics in New Orleans, LA and three received medals or ribbons at the international competition.  This year, the team looks forward to another successful competition year in both USA Jump Rope and AAU Junior Olympic national/ international competition.

 

There are 16 students on the demonstration team.   In addition to demonstration team practices, Coach Laurie Whitsel conducts jump rope clinics at Holy Trinity school twice a month for any student interested in learning jump rope skills.  Generally, 40-50 students participate in the clinics.  After watching the demonstration team perform, some schools have started their own jump rope club and many physical educators have integrated the skills into their physical education programs.
