ATHLETICS

Ridgecliff Middle School is committed to providing athletic opportunities for all of our students. Athletics, both competitive and recreational, are a cornerstone of the educational process and experience. We believe students deserve the opportunity to participate and compete at levels appropriate to their skill and interest.
 

It is through these competitions that RMS strives to instill habits that will lead our students to live better and healthier lives. We recognize that athletic participation is a way for students to grow and learn the values of self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. While winning is not our main objective, we believe that when our students strive to be their best, that will lead them to succeed.

RMS has membership and competes for championships in the following sport governing bodies: Nova Scotia Schools Athletic Federation(NSSAF) and Metro Junior High Athletic Association (MJHAA). Sports include soccer, flag football, badminton, golf, cross country, track and field, table tennis, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and softball.

Our extra curricular sports are open to all grade levels at RMS. All students who make a sports team are asked to sign an Athletic Contract and abide by the guidelines set out in the document. Failure to do so may result in losing the privilege to participate in that sport and future sports.
