Time To Play.

Playing sports in their home school district while attending RPA gives our students from all over Central Oregon the best of both worlds – the ability to compete on teams with people they’ve gone to school with in the past while continuing on their educational path with their new friends. It’s a win-win situation (pun intended).

Here’s how it works:
High school students who attend RPA can fully participate in Oregon State Activities Association (OSAA) athletic programs within their resident home district. (Resident home district is the district of the high school the student would be attending if he/she had not chosen RPA.) Please note that parents and students are responsible for transportation to and from practices, games and other sport-related events.

Athletic programs include:
Fall: Cheer/Stunt, Football, Cross Country, Soccer, Volleyball
Winter: Cheer/Stunt, Basketball, Swimming, Wrestling
Spring: Tennis, Golf, Softball, Baseball, Track & Field

Note: Water Polo, Lacrosse, OHSET, Rodeo, and Nordic/Alpine Skiing are considered to be club activities and therefore are not listed above. Students can participate in Club sports within their home districts (and in some cases, in other districts with approval from the districts/teams involved).

Eligibility requirements:
Student must be enrolled as a “full-time student,” which is five classes equivalent to 2.5 credits in the current grading period.

Student must make “satisfactory progress towards graduation” defined as:

• Passed five classes equivalent to 2.5 credits in the previous grading period
