GOVERNING BODIES & MEMBERSHIPS Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Central Catholic is a member in good standing with the MIAA and the Merrimack Valley Conference. As such, we agree to abide by all rules set forth by both organizations. Often times, questions concerning eligibility and other important and relevant topics surface. The following information should help everyone understand the rules each school and student-athlete must abide by in order to participate in interscholastic athletics. Furthermore, Central Catholic has a deep desire to maximize participation, enjoyment and hopes to instill a pride of school and community both in its student body and alumni. We have adopted a set of rules, which each member of our athletic teams is expected to follow. Those school rules for student-athletes also are listed. Merrimack Valley Conference Central Catholic High School is also a member of the Merrimack Valley Conference (MVC). The other members within the MVC are: Academy of Notre Dame (Girls only), Andover, Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Haverhill, Lawrence, Lowell, Methuen and Tewksbury. INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS OVERVIEW The Central Catholic High School athletic program is designed to allow those students who are achieving academic success and who possess the motor skills necessary, to develop those skills to the fullest. Furthermore, the athletic program challenges each participant to grow, to learn and become a positive contributor and participant in the community. The emphasis of our programs at the sub-varsity level is the development and improvement of individual motor skills, effective team play and the appropriate attitudes of good sportsmanship and fair play. These programs are developmental and are conducted under less intense competitive situations. The varsity level programs usually consist of members who are most talented in the development of skills and possess the knowledge of game concepts and have the ability to interact on a team basis. ATHLETIC PROGRAMS CURRENTLY OFFERED Central Catholic High School is one of 350 institutions throughout Massachusetts which offers athletic programs as part of its co-curricular instruction. The state is broken up into districts for administration by the MIAA. There are approximately fifty schools in our district, A. Central Catholic High School offers 22 varsity programs and fields 52 teams at many different levels. Also, Central Catholic sponsors Cheerleading in support of the various athletic programs.
