The Athletic Association provides the opportunity for our grade school and high school students to participate in sports. The various sports available to youth include soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, football, golf and volleyball. To participate in athletics, students must be enrolled in Our Lady of Victory School or Our Lady of Victory's PSR Program. The Athletic Association provides many of the capital improvements that are necessary to ensure first-class facilities for all sports participants.
(All sporting facilities are handicap accessible)

OLV Student Athlete Eligibility
To participate in athletics, students must be enrolled in Our Lady of Victory School or Our Lady of Victory's PSR Program.
Requirements for those attending PSR:
- Students must be registered at the beginning of the PSR year. Registering right before a sports season is not permitted.
- Attendance is taken at PSR and if students miss more than 4 days, they are not eligible to play. They must not miss more than 4 days during the entire school year to receive credit for the year.
- All Our Lady of Victory athletic teams must release students attending Parish School of Religion (PSR) class by 6:30 p.m. on Mondays from practices to attend class at 6:45 p.m. Students cannot be penalized by restricting playing time during games.
- If students stop coming to class after the sports season is over, they are not eligible to play for Our Lady of Victory the following year in any sport.
If your sport is combined with another school to make a team, students must be registered at their parish to be eligible. The Parish Office is calling other parishes to check that they are registered members.
The only way that a student who is not Catholic (not baptized) can play sports for Our Lady of Victory is if they are attending our school as a private student.
If you have questions about PSR classes or these requirements, please contact the Office of Religious Education at (513) 347-2071.
All Coaches, Chaperones, School and Parish Volunteers:
Our Lady of Victory Parish follows the Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s policy regarding the protection of children. Every person in a position which requires contact or interaction with youth or vulnerable adults must complete the SafeParish™ edition of Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse training session, along with completing a background check, before they are permitted to work or volunteer within any of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati parishes, schools, or institutions. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to complete the training.
In addition to completing the training and background check, employees and volunteers must stay current in completing their interactive video-based SafeParish™ quarterly bulletins on Child Protection in order to remain in compliance with the requirements of the Decree on Child Protection. Non-compliance will result in SafeParish™ account non-approval and non-compliant employees and volunteers will no longer be permitted to work with youth or vulnerable adults until compliance is reestablished.
