Gear Up for 2020-21

If your student plans to participate in our athletics program for any season (Fall, Winter, and/or Spring), the following forms must be completed and the following steps must be taken:

student athlete requirements

1. All parents must register their student-athletes via the parent portal by between July 15 - August 7. This must be done prior to tryouts. Step-by-step instructions will be sent out a week prior to the registration open date.

2. DePaul Prep must have an up-to-date IHSA Pre-Participation Examination Form (this is in addition to the State of IL Health Exam/Physical form) on file before team tryouts. The IHSA form must be filled out, signed by 1) a physician, 2) your student, and 3) a parent/guardian. You will upload your physical on your Magnus profile.

I want students to have positive experiences and develop lifelong friendships and relationships; friendships and relationships are much more important than wins and losses. When you develop those and close bonds, wins are more likely to come.

Director of Athletics

Philosophy

At DePaul College Prep, there is a proud tradition and history of athletic excellence, team spirit and camaraderie among our student-athletes and supporters. Our philosophy at DePaul College Prep is that the athletics program provides an educational experience that is an important and meaningful asset to the great work in our classrooms. Our student athletes learn to excel with integrity, respect, hard work and leadership, while setting personal goals in a collaborative team environment.

DePaul Prep boys teams participate in the Chicago Catholic League and the girls teams participate in the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference. Our athletes are some of the best and brightest in the country, and are always proud to be a Ram.

At DePaul College Prep, we pride ourselves on our athletes’ balance of excellence on the field and in the classroom, with some of the following objectives:

To develop high level of sportsmanship among all our players.
To cultivate school spirit, morale and loyalty.
To develop an understanding, respect, and support of our athletic conferences, the Chicago Catholic League and Girls Catholic Athletic Conference.
To help our players understand the appropriate attitudes that should be displayed when winning and losing both on and off the field.
To encourage our players to support and respect all other athletes within the athletic program.
To help the players display a sense of class and respect for our opponent.
To develop concepts of goal attainment through hard work and rigorous self-discipline.
To Win!
