The Redwood Day Athletics Program promotes the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our student-athletes while fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. Students of all abilities are encouraged to participate, have fun, and challenge themselves in an environment that emphasizes commitment, integrity, self-discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
Most middle school students at Redwood Day participate on one or more interscholastic teams, and we encourage every student to try out for at least one of our many athletic offerings. No prior playing experience is required, and most teams are co-ed. We strive to provide meaningful opportunities for every student to participate at an appropriate level of competition based on their grade, experience, and skill level.
We are excited to announce our Fall athletic offerings:
Cross Country • Co-Ed Varsity Flag Football • Co-Ed JV Flag Football • Co-Ed Soccer • Pickleball
- Cross Country Mon/Wed 3:50-5:00 p.m.
- Co-Ed Varsity Flag Football Tue/Thur 3:50-5:25 p.m.
- Co-Ed JV Flag Football Tue/Thur 3:50-5:25 p.m.
- Co-Ed Soccer Mon/Thur 3:50-5:10 p.m.
- Pickleball Tue/Thur 3:50-5:15 p.m.
- Student athletes interested in playing a fall sport should attend at least 1 tryout session. It is always great if you are able to attend both sessions but if you cannot attend both, it has no negative impact on your standing with the team.
- Student-athletes should bring a full water bottle and wear athletic clothing as well as appropriate footwear. We recommend not to buy cleats for football or soccer until your child is certain that they want to play on the team.
- Students can try out for more than one team but will need to select only one team on which to play.
- When tryouts conclude, emails will be sent out welcoming student-athletes to their team. We will also send out Teamsnap invitations to parents/guardians. Teamsnap will be our team management platform and the hub for information, schedules, rosters, and any updates.
- All student-athletes must sign in to X-care before they head to tryouts or practice. There is no charge for this.
