Spring Sports Tryouts

Share

The final sports season of the 2011-12 school year starts on Presidents Day weekend.

All athletes going out for a sport must have a Ticket To Play to try out or practice. There will be no exceptions. Even athletes who have had a Ticket To Play from a previous sport must obtain a new one.

The information and paperwork to obtain a Ticket To Play are in the main office at Ramona High School. Prospective athletes are advised not to wait until Feb. 17 to start doing the paperwork as some paperwork must be taken home and signed by a parent or guardian and there is no school on Feb. 20. For information throughout the season on any spring sport, visit www.ramonausd.net/rhs and click on athletics.
