Athletics
Holy Family Catholic Academy's atheletic programs offer students great opportunities to not only build strong atheletic skills, but to also learn team sportsmanship and leadership. To see our players in action, we invite all past, current, and future parents, friends and community members to come and cheer on HFCA - Go Phoenix!
The philosophy of HFCA athletics is to offer a positive sports experience for student-athletes that emphasizes the development of athletic abilities, good sportsmanship and team unity. There are many opportunities for students to participate in athletics. Student-athletes in grades 5-8 compete in the Dallas Parochial League. The DPL sponsors volleyball, cross country and basketball for our students. Students 5th - 8th grade can participate in sports offered through a variety of community athletic associations.
