SMAC BOARD 

NOMINATIONS

The purpose of the St. Mary Athletic Commission (SMAC) is to serve St. Mary by furthering the mission of the Catholic Church and providing sports experiences for the youth of St. Mary Parish and St. Mary School, which are firmly rooted in the Catholic faith tradition. SMAC seeks to provide St. Mary youth with opportunities to participate in athletics and to learn the rules and fundamentals of their sport, the tenets of good sportsmanship, the discipline of hard work, the benefits of physical fitness, and the enjoyment of teamwork under proper supervision and guidance. SMAC Board organizes and oversees all school/parish-supported sports teams and the calendar of events corresponding to each team. Several of the SMAC Board roles turn over and are filled by new volunteers each year. 

 

The available board positions for the 2023-2024 school year are Secretary, Boys Soccer, and At-Large Commissioner. Please have a look below for a brief description of each role.

  • Secretary: Manage and maintain minutes for all SMAC Meetings. Coordinate and oversee player registrations each season.
  • Boys Soccer: Manage equipment, uniform, and other needs to successfully execute Spring and Fall soccer seasons. Organize teams and coordinate coaches as needed. Communicate with SAY (youth soccer governing body) as required. 
  • At-Large: Oversee and be responsible for the fundraising activities for SMAC (i.e., Gym Sponsorship Program). 

 

If you have questions about any of the open positions or would like to volunteer yourself/nominate someone else, please reach out to SMAC President Vince Ward (ward.ve@pg.com) or SMAC Past President Jason Blake (jrblake71@gmail.com)
