Coach Simdorn and the coaching staff will be working in position groups to make sure ticket assignments are taken care of, we have 3 tickets per player.  Here are some things to keep in mind this week...

Parents/guardians have 2 options for picking up and paying for tickets.

1) They can pick them up and pay on Thursday night from 6-8 in the ticket booth
2) They can send money with their child to practice on Friday to pick them up

Each team will receive 125 tickets for each game, home or away. Tickets for each player may vary week to week depending on how many will be dressing. 3 tickets per game will be standard, if we have more available they will go to the seniors first then juniors, sophomores, etc.

Guests must provide an ID at the ticket booth to receive your ticket for either a home or road game. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED at the games unless they are a sibling of a player and accompanied by an adult. Tickets should be for adults or siblings only. If anyone under 18 is attending, the student athlete should give us their name and their age when signing them up for tickets.

You need to remain seated whenever possible, if you have children with you, they must be sitting with you.

When families donate, all you have to do is roll down your window, tell the staff you want to donate the food in your trunk and the staff will take care of the rest. You can do this M-W-F from 9-1 at RAHS.  Thank you, be well. Go Raiders!

I hope everyone and their families are doing well and are safe and healthy.  Please make sure all of us are practicing safe healthy habits to get through this very difficult time our world is in.  I wish there was a time frame for what the future holds, but at this time there's a lot of uncertainty and no specific answers.  I would like to encourage all the players to do what they can to stay in shape in a safe environment. We will get through this difficult time and when we do we want to be ready for the upcoming season.  Online school will be starting next week and I want to encourage everyone to stay on top of their academics and continue to excel in the online classroom.  I miss seeing the team and working with everyone.  I can't wait to get back together to continue  building for the upcoming season.  Hopefully that will be sooner, rather then later.

Please be safe and take care of yourself and your family.

Thanks, Coach Simdorn

Go Raiders!
