SOCCER is cut sport. For both boys and girls soccer, coaches will select 16-20 of the top soccer players for an advanced team and 16-20 for a developmental team. Both teams will be playing in the same division as the league does not have a varsity and JV option. (If we split the talent between two teams then neither team will be competitive against the other teams).

Boys tryouts are Wednesday, March 25, and Thursday, March 26, from 3:15-5:00 pm. Girls tryouts are on Wednesday, March 25, from 1:30-3:00 pm, and Friday, March 27, from 3:15-4:30 pm. We are currently looking for someone to coach the boys developmental team. Please contact dblackwell@brssd.org if you are interested. Use this link to sign up for tryouts: https://forms.gle/Mrws9Zg7Dm9znn6f9. We know that these tryout dates conflict with the Disney music field trip and will arrange for an alternate tryout date(s) for these students if needed. 

TRACK & FIELD is non-cut sport. All ability levels are welcome. There will be an informational meeting on Wednesday, March 18, at snack in the gym for students. Sign up for track & field here: https://forms.gle/LJXLtCbAo3M53f8y8

FAQS

If my child makes a team, when will practices and games be? The game schedule is usually posted a week before the season starts. Practices are determined by the coach, so it is too early to determine the time commitment. If your child plays more than one sport that would take away from the commitment to the Ralston team then you may want to reconsider.

Are there costs associated with after school sports?

Expenses include referees, coaches, facilities, equipment, score keepers, and occasionally uniforms. The budget varies depending on the sport and is heavily dependent on donations. There will be a recommended donation (website link will be provided). If you choose to pay more or less, than you must contact Deborah Blackwell at dblackwell@brssd.org to arrange a meeting to finalize registration. Players may not play in a scheduled game until the registration process is complete.

Ralston has an active After School Sports Program that emphasizes participation and sportsmanship.  This program is operated by joint agreement between Ralston School and the Belmont Parks and Recreation Department.  Participation in this program is a privilege.  Academic and behavioral standards are as follows:

• All students must have earned a 2.0 or better grade point average in core classes to participate in the after school sports program.  

• Students may get documentation via weekly progress reports to verify their academic eligibility.        

• Students must also maintain good attendance and satisfactory behavior.

• Student MUST be in school to participate in the practice and/or game that particular day.

• Registration form must be completed and turned in before student can participate in any sports program.

• If students have a note excusing them from physical activity during PE, they may not participate in practice or games until they are clear from their illness or injury.

If a student receives a one-day suspension, that notice serves as a warning regarding his/her participation in the After School Sports Program.  Should that student receive another suspension, they will be immediately ineligible for continued participation during that particular after-school sport season.

Students who are not participating in the sports program or who are ineligible for participation may not “hang around” the gym, playground, or field after school.  Be sure to listen to announcements regarding team games and practices.  If a student is not on a team, then he/she should go directly home after school. 

School dismisses at 3:05 p.m.  All students are to be off campus by 3:25 p.m.
