Registering for Athletics
Families should register on the Athletic Association website (https://www.avemariaaa.org/) for athletics at Ave Maria Academy. There are 4 steps to register:
- Register your Family on the website (use the "register" link at the top of the page)
- Add your family members
- Register student family members for sports
- Pay the associated athletic fees via the eCatholic payment system (you are not fully registered until the fees are paid)
Online Registration Help
The Registration Help walks you through the steps described above for online registration.
Paper Registration Form
If you cannot use the website, you can download and use a paper registration form (PDF, Word) - one for each athlete. Turn the paper form and your fees in at your school office.

Team Parents and Parent Volunteers Needed!
An AMA student's involvement in athletics requires parents or guardians to volunteer as needed - along with all other families participating in the athletic program. Volunteering includes working at home games collecting entrance fees, running concessions, selling raffles, etc.
Each team at the school also must have a volunteer to serve as Team Parent/Manager to coordinate all volunteer activities for the team.
