St. Philomena is a member of the Peoria Parochial Soccer Association which is comprised of area Catholic and parochial schools. The St. Philomena's Soccer Program is open to students and parish members in grades 1-8. The teams are co-ed for 1st and 2nd graders. The season is played in the Fall, and the average team size is 10-12 kids. Games generally start in late August and run through early October. Each team plays about eight games per season. Teams in grades 3-8 play in post-season tournaments. There is a separate schedule for tournaments, so please consult the PPSA website for more information.
Practices vary according to each coach, but generally begin a week or two prior to the first game. League games are played at Detweiller Park in Peoria. Depending on the coach, teams may practice once or twice a week for about an hour in the evening. Registration for the soccer program occurs in May - just prior to the end of the school year.
