RMHS ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The Athletic Department serves as an integral part of Rio Mesa High School, and its mission is to provide an opportunity, through athletic competition, for students to develop physically, socially, intellectually, and emotionally. At Rio Mesa, athletics is viewed as an extension of the classroom in which student-athletes learn to strive for excellence in an atmosphere of teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect.

ATHLETICS POLICIES

Student-athletes at Rio Mesa High School must be academically eligible with a GPA of at least 2.0 and passing at least 20 semester credits. They must be well-behaved at all times and realize that athletic participation is a privilege, not a right. They are to be always respectful to teachers, coaches, officals, opponents, and classmates. In addition, Rio Mesa High School’s student-athletes are expected to be drug and alcohol free.

ATHLETIC INFORMATION

TRYOUTS

Boys Basketball tryouts are next Monday, October 29th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. This tryout is for all boys wanting to try-out for a boys’ basketball team this year that play a fall sport or were told to come back for a second tryout. For those players that are currently playing on a varsity level team and are in the playoffs, you must see Mr. Ruffinelli by Monday, October 29th afternoon to sign up for tryouts when you are done with your fall sport playoffs. Everyone trying out must be athletically cleared which means having your athletic clearance account completed on www.athleticclearance.com and have a current Physical and Transportation form uploaded to the account. Both tryouts nights are mandatory. Any concern email Coach Kiech (rio.mesa.spartans.bb@gmail.com).
