Welcome to Saints Athletics. We offer a full spectrum of championship quality sports teams. Our 99-year tradition has included many of the greatest athletes, coaches, and fans in San Diego County history, as well as some of the most exciting games in county history.
Since Saints’ inclusion into CIF and the San Diego City Conference in the 1960s, Saintsmen have won 170 league titles, 41 CIF championships, and 4 state titles (golf, soccer twice, and basketball). Saints is also proud to have an Olympian in Brian Barden, who was a member of USA Baseball in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Over 70% of our student body participates in at least one of the 15 sports Saints offers (12 CIF sports and 3 club sports). In the fall season, we offer football and cross-country, as well as club beach volleyball. During the winter season, we offer basketball (defending league and 2022 & 2023 CIF Open Div. champions), wrestling, and soccer (5 consecutive league titles and 2023 CIF Open Div. champions), as well as rugby and surfing at the club level. Rounding out our year, we have baseball, golf, tennis, volleyball, swimming, lacrosse, and track in the spring. Four of our spring sports, tennis, volleyball, swimming, and track will be defending league titles.
Most of our sports offer varsity and junior varsity levels, and we have freshman levels for football, basketball, soccer, and baseball.
Our student-athletes are guided by some of the best coaches in the county who support Saints’ mission to develop the body, mind, spirit, and soul as our young men compete and grow while competing at the highest levels. Saints has had three California State Head Coaches of the Year in Brendan Johnston (soccer 2012), Mike Haupt (basketball 2013), Craig da Luz (baseball 2014) and one assistant coach of the year in Mitch Bluman (baseball 2019).
Navigating the menus to the left and below, you can see more specific offerings, details about our sports, schedules, traditions, and meet some of the athletic department staff. Below this introduction you will find the “Alumni Watch,” which tracks graduates playing at the collegiate level or beyond over a 10-year cycle, and the “CIF & League Titles” list showcasing Saints vast levels of success since inclusion in the 1960s.
