Other Sports News
Winter Guard is similar to color guard, with the exception that winter guard is an indoor activity and there is no marching band. No previous experience necessary. There will be a separate group for the 6th-8th graders, and a group for the high school students. The Winter Guard is an opportunity to learn guard skills (flags, rifles, sabres, and dance), and is excellent preparation for students who may want to participate in the high school marching band color guard in the future.
**There will be a Mandatory informational meeting for Winter Cheer on Monday, October 16th at 6:30 pm in the PHS-Central cafeteria.
**Pickerington Ridgeview Boys Lacrosse is holding an informational session on Thursday, October 12 at the Ridgeview Cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the upcoming 2018 season. Those interested in playing lacrosse in the spring for Ridgeview are encouraged to attend. The 2018 season officially starts around February 19, 2018. Current players are also requested to attend the meeting.
Lacrosse is a fast-paced, physical and skill-based game. For new players this is a great opportunity to be part of a competitive team representing Ridgeview. In 2017, our first season, we compiled a 12-3-2 record and went to the Final Four of the Ohio Middle School tournament for Division II. Ridgeview hopes to build upon that success and we are looking for players who want to continue that record of excellence.
