Dear Girls Soccer Players, Families, Friends and Supporters,
Fall 2024
Fall 2023
Welcome to the fall sports season! As we start this 41st school year and soccer season at PVI, may we all give thanks to God for the many blessings He has given us. Let us all strive to live the school motto to “Grow in Grace and Wisdom.”
About 400,000 high school girls in the United States play soccer, and here at St. Paul VI Catholic High School we are blessed to cheer on about 55 of those female student-athletes each fall season! Our players excel in the classrooms, on the field, and in our community. What they are asked to do is not easy, and yet our Lady Panthers work tirelessly to hone their soccer skills and share their God-given talents. They do so as a team, upholding the tenets of our Catholic school mission and inspiring the extraordinary in others.
May this season be energetic, competitive, healthy, and safe as our wonderful athletes strive for excellence in soccer. Our patron saint, St. Francis de Sales, teaches us to “Be who you are and be that perfectly well so that you may bring honor to the Master Craftsman whose handiwork you are.” May the joy of the Gospel be alive in the joy of soccer!
To our wonderful student-athletes: as you show good sportsmanship and love of soccer, may you always strive for the extraordinary on the soccer field each and every day! May you always give thanks to God for the many talents you have and may you strive to play the game in the best way possible. May this season encourage you to grow in sportsmanship and character while always recognizing your growth as a gift from God!
World-renowned soccer star, Mia Hamm, noted, “My coach said I run like a girl, and I said if he ran a little faster he could too.” It is a pleasure to cheer on our student-athletes and share in their joy as they compete. Many thanks to their head coach, Chris Campbell, and all of our assistant coaches, parents, family members, and friends for supporting our girls soccer program. Looking forward to an amazing season as our Lady Panthers continue to grow in grace and wisdom!
Let us all LIVE JESUS each and every day!
Go Panthers!
Peace and blessings,
Laura Swenson Head of School

Charlie, it is finally your turn. Just do your thing.
FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR…
Welcome to the 2024 soccer season! We are very excited and proud to have Chris Campbell for his third year with the girls soccer program. We are blessed to have dedicated coaches leading our student-athletes. Coaches who teach accountability, understand and encourage academic success, and work hard to build great teams based in faith. Coaches who are “teachers” and Christian leaders with character and integrity make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children. Teaching our student-athletes to be respectful and accountable is teaching them to be successful in life. We are also very fortunate to have such a strong network of support from our alumni, boosters, parents, school staff, and our overall community. No doubt about it…PVI is truly a special place.
It is critical to recognize the value that athletics have as a part of the educational process, our mission and our ministry. As a college-prep school, we strive to run athletic programs that combine the right amounts of ability and desire to move to the next level in the athletic experience. A major focus of our athletic program is to help our student-athletes develop lasting life skills to use as they move on in college, in a career, as productive members of society, as husbands and wives, and as parents. When you surround a child with the gospel, discipline, integrity, and truth, you can make a difference in his or her life forever. That is the core of our mission. It is easier to build boys and girls, than it is to mend men and women.
Finally, I'd like to remind all of our spectators to be "good sports." Let the coaches coach and let the players play. Create a positive environment for all involved, a place student-athletes and parents get the most out of their experiences. One where winning isn’t the only thing. One where opponents and officials are never taunted or humiliated. An environment where the emphasis is on positive relationships and learning important life lessons through hard work, competition, and faith.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Director of Athletics at PVI. I am humbled by our community’s sense of togetherness. We are truly ALL IN! #ALLINPVI.
GO PANTHERS !
