PLEASE UNDERSTAND - Registration for the middle school athletics winter season (boys’ and girls’ basketball) will be submitted through the ParentVue Portal, opening on Oct 31, 2022. Students should complete their pre-participation physical (MCPS Form SR-8) so that the medical eligibility form (last page of SR-8) is ready for online submission via the ParentVue Portal or for email submission to the local school athletic coordinator, prior to tryouts/practices. This form is valid for two years from the date of the exam and covers participation for all sports within that time period. This form must be completed and/or on file before a student-athlete can participate. A list of local walk-in clinics is available here if you are unable to get into see your pediatrician
Considerations
Student Eligibility - To participate in any of these activities students are required to maintain a 2.0 marking period grade point average, with no more than one failing grade in the previous marking period. Students must also exhibit the appropriate behavior expected of a student-athlete on a daily basis at RCMS during the designated time period of the scheduled sport season or activity and beyond. If these requirements are not met, the student is academically ineligible to participate on any of the athletic sports teams and/or in any of the intramural sports and extracurricular activities. Eligibility during the season is up to coaches discretion based on current grades and student behavior.
Practices - Generally are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday from 3:10-5:15pm (end of practice is at Coaches discretion). See Calendar on the Athletics Home page for Practice Schedule.
