At Riverfield Country Day School, family members, staff members, and Raven fans all support our student-athletes as they dedicate and commit themselves in their various athletic endeavors. We encourage participation in athletics because it provides RCDS students with important lessons for life, such as teamwork, self-discipline, and commitment. Being a part of a team not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but provides opportunities for skill enhancement, competition, collaboration, and cooperation. We also believe that physical fitness and discipline can help promote academic success, and we expect that our athletes take pride in their performance in the classroom as well as on the field.
We offer athletic opportunities for students from Pre-School through Upper School, including twelve Varsity teams that compete as part of the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA). Through these opportunities, our students can find a place where they can apply their personal talents and skills as our school continues to grow its athletic tradition. Our community has high standards in regard to sportsmanship and conduct. We expect our students, coaches, and fans to uphold these standards at all times. Please help reinforce these ideals when you attend an athletic event by interacting with opposing teams and officials in a positive manner.
On behalf of the Athletic Department, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Raven Athletic Booster Club and others who provide continuous support and enthusiasm for our student-athletes. If you have not yet joined, I encourage you to partner with us to invest in the future of Riverfield Athletics!
Go Ravens!
