Overview

Mission

Athletic participation is seen as integral to the common catholic mission of our schools and, as such, is viewed as an extension of the class room. Administrators, faculty, and coaches dedicate themselves, to bring forth to their student-athlete that will serve the participating individual and the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

To supervise and control the athletic competition between the member schools. To provide guidance and direction so that athletics will always contribute effectively to the total educational development of the students. To administer the athletics of the wcal in accordance with the constitution, by-laws and rulings. To provide for the development of cordial and friendly relations among the member schools through the high standards of good sportsmanship.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
