Athletics
Middle School Athletics has moved to a tryout/non-tryout model to better address the needs of our athletes while understanding the challenges of transportation and availability of facilities.
Interscholastic sports will be a competitive environment designed for athletes typically having an established skill set and familiarity with a sport. During Interscholastic Sports, athletes will compete against other schools in the Lake Washington School District. Interscholastic sports (with one exception each season) will follow a tryout model where a limited number of athletes will qualify for a Varsity or JV team. More information about the tryout and selection process will be made available from the Athletic Director and/or coaches once the season starts.
Intramural sports will be designed for skill building and connecting with peers. During Intramural Sports, students will only compete against other RHMS students. Intramural sports follow the NO CUT model and can have unlimited participants. This is a great way to get involved with middle school athletics in a positive way, without the risk of being cut or excluded!
Registration for each season or session will open approximately one month before the sport’s start date. All registration is done through the district’s online athletics platform Final Forms.
Registration for the first season of Interscholastic Sports will open up on August 1st.
All student athletes must have a valid sports physical on file, with the Medical Clearance Form* signed by a physician and uploaded into Final Forms. Sports physicals are valid for two years. Students are ineligible and not permitted to participate in Interscholastic Sports without this signed form on file. *This form is recommended but not required for Intramural Sports.
