The RCDS no-cut after-school sports program expands on the traditional benefits of athletics with a focus on the Three A’s: ability, attendance and attitude. The overall goal of the program is for student-athletes to develop life skills that help them become more successful in all their endeavors. After-school sports begin in fifth grade, and more than 80% of Upper School students participate. Our no-cut policy creates an inclusive environment where students with varying degrees of athletic talent can all succeed.
