RIDGFIELD YOUTH SPORTS

Welcome to Ridgefield Community Education Youth Sports Page! Throughout the year RCE offers various sports opportunities for the community. Be sure to check back often upcoming season information and follow Ridgefield Community Ed on Facebook!

VOLLEYBALL VOLUNTEER COACHES

Ridgefield Youth Volleyball League teams are coached by volunteer parents, grandparents, and other adults. Without our volunteers, our youth wouldn’t have the opportunity to play—thank you for stepping up to make a difference!

We provide premade practice plans, and all divisions will practice together, allowing coaches to collaborate and support one another.

If you’re interested in becoming a head or assistant volunteer coach, please email mandy.evans@ridgefieldsd.org. All volunteers must complete and clear the Ridgefield School District volunteer application.

Coaches will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If a division already has enough coaches, additional volunteers may be assigned as assistants to help out.

YOUTH VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE

Ridgefield Youth Volleyball, brought to you by RSD Community Education, is a fun and recreational program focused on teamwork, sportsmanship, skill-building, and, most importantly, FUN! Designed for Ridgefield residents, this league is perfect for those eager to learn the game of volleyball alongside friends. Teams will practice together and compete in games against other Ridgefield teams. Please note, this is an IN-HOUSE program. Limited space.

SPRING FLYERS TRACK

The Flyers Track and Field development program is designed to teach fundamental skills of most Track and Field events while simultaneously developing speed and agility sports conditioning. Space is limited to 90. Boys & Girls | 2nd - 6th Grade

Practices are taught by RHS student athletes who will emphasize a fun, but focused, "learn by doing" atmosphere. Instructors, under the guidance of Nathan Eggleston (RHS Track Coach), will introduce and refine proper technique and practice skills for the greatest success. Athletes are introduced to all the track and field events, offering an opportunity to find their niche. Proper skill development and safety will be the focus of all activities.
