What a great night at our annual Sports Awards banquet! Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate another fantastic year for our St. John's sports program and all the amazing achievements by our student athletes. Lots of laughter, delicious food, tons of awards, buzzer beater highlight videos, stylish socks, even a surprise visit from our special guest the St. John's Eagle himself, who flew in to help kick off this special night. Major thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and talents throughout the year to make this all possible. And huge congratulations to every single one of our athletes and award winners, including our 2026 Archdiocese Athletic Recognition Award winners Anna, Maximo and Coach Regina, and the winners of our prestigious 42nd annual Eagle Award, Anthony and Avery! A great night to celebrate a great year, with lots more in store ahead. Let's Go Eagles!!
SJSA families, One of our very own St. John's families is going through an extremely difficult battle. Please click below to read and share their story and contribute if you can. Let's come together as a family to support one of our own in their time of need. Thank you.
Congratulations to a few members of our Eagles family who were honored at the annual Archdiocese CYO Athletics Recognition Ceremony at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark yesterday. Coach Regina was awarded the Archdiocesan Adult Discipleship Award for her longtime commitment to young people and athletics over many years in our program. 8th grade students Anna and Maximo were each awarded the Archdiocesan Youth Sportsmanship Award for their display of outstanding sportsmanship and character through service and actions on and off the field. All three of them have been great representatives of St. John's and embody the mission of our CYO program. They are truly deserving of these awards and will be greatly missed. Congratulations!!!
A valiant effort put up by our final 2 teams tonight as they both gave it their all and took home 2nd place trophies! Congrats to both teams on a great season and we are proud of their achievement! That's a wrap for basketball. Great job by all our teams!
A great battle last night as our 7/8 girls team fought all the way back from being down big at the start to tie up the game at halftime. Ultimately they came up short in the end but they played their hearts out and have nothing to hang their heads about. Congrats to all the girls and coaches on a great season (and a great CYO career for those moving on)! Reminder tomorrow night: 4:30pm and 6:00pm at St. Leo's for our 3/4 boys and 3/4 girls championship games!
5 St. John's teams remain... 3 of them play their semifinal games tonight for a chance to go to the finals! Head out and make some noise for them!
2 teams advanced yesterday, leaving 6 St. John's teams still standing. Our 3/4 boys Liberty team punched their ticket to the championship game on Sunday! Tonight we have our boys 5/6 Liberty team in action at St. Paul's at 6:15pm - let's go Eagles!!!
Great job to our teams that went 3-0 last night! All 15 of our teams are still standing. An off night tonight for our teams, then back in action tomorrow. Let's go Eagles!
Basketball playoffs start tonight! See our teams' schedules and come on out to cheer them on!
What a great night as our Eagles athletes and families came out strong last night to watch the men's Seton Hall basketball team win in a thrilling comeback against Georgetown. They were even able to dance their way onto the jumbotron multiple times (probably more important than the victory to many of the kids...) And for the icing on the cake, they got their very own private postgame shootaround on the Prudential Center court!
Last call - boys/girls Spring Volleyball registration closing! More info & register at
Always love adding another year to our championship banners! Our 8th grade girls Fall volleyball team now lives on in St. John's history as our first varsity VB champs in close to a decade, to go along with being our first ever JV champions back in 2023. Congratulations and best of luck to all of them! Who will be next? 🤔 Spring volleyball registration is open now!
About St. John's Sports Association (SJSA)
The St. John’s Sports Association (SJSA) is a parish-based ministry comprised of players, coaches, parents, and volunteers. Our purpose is to give our children an opportunity to play and develop in various sports by maintaining a strong program based in faith, led by the volunteers from our school and parish community.
As a parish-based program, participation is open to all parishioners of St. John the Baptist as well as St. John’s Academy students.
The SJSA currently organizes and governs competitive teams in Basketball, Volleyball and Track & Field – which all compete against other parishes within the archdiocese. We also offer a cheerleading program that supports our basketball teams as well as various clinics throughout the year.
The SJSA is governed by an Athletic Director and Board, who collectively manage all areas of operation and are supported by our coaches and community of volunteers. The Sports Association is operated independently from the Academy and questions should not be directed to the school but through email through our contact form.
