RASHI ATHLETICS

Rashi Athletics
Rashi students look forward to their Grade 5 year for many reasons but perhaps the most anticipated opportunity is the chance to put on the Blue and White and start their journey through four years of Rashi athletics. Grade 5 students are eased into the fold with a couple practices a week and a handful of games vs. area independent schools. Sixth graders practice a little more, play a few more games and have the opportunity to play together as a grade as well as on teams with our older grades. Our Grade 7-8 students practice three times a week and play an extensive game schedule including end of season tournaments.
Our goals are that the experience of being on a team and competing against other schools will help to build relationships, strengthen character and help foster a love for a sport that will last a lifetime. Students can choose to play on the soccer team in the fall, the basketball team in the winter and the baseball/softball team in the spring. Many choose to play on all three.
Rashi’s athletic teams are designed to bring out the best performance in each individual student while striving for team success. We will lose some and we will win some but we hope the real results won’t be found in a final score but in the process itself.
Rashi athletics help kids develop great life skills and great values. Seeing students working to improve their athletic skills, competing and helping each other on the field, cheering for the team, all help kids discover who they are and strengthen their commitment to each other.
