Uniform Return Policy
Due to the ever increasing cost of uniforms,
equipment, and referees, we have instituted a Uniform Return Policy that applies to all After School Sports participants.  We feel that this policy will help us maintain an affordable program for all the students in the Redwood City School District.
  
For more information, please click on 
Team Formation Policy
Our Team Formation Policy  was created because of the difficulty in finding coaches for many of our sports teams.    Each team will have a maximum amount of players allowed to register in order to maximize the experience of the players and allow each player adequate time to compete with accordance to our playing time rules. 
  
Football (22 players)
Volleyball (12 players)
Basketball (12 players)
4th/5th Soccer (16 players)
6th-8th Grade Soccer (18 players)
  
Any additional players wishing to register will be placed on a waitlist.  If the participant is added to a team, the parent/guardian will be contacted in order to process payment.  Players cannot participate until their registration is paid in full. If there are enough participants and we can secure a second coach, a second team will be created. 
  
Please register your child as soon as possible to secure a spot and/or allow us to recruit more players and a head coach to form a second team. 

Community
Enrichment & Engagement
 PE+ Coaches support RCEF OktobeRun
  
PE+ coaches from Adelante, Hawes, Selby Lane, Garfield and Henry Ford showed their support for their students and the RCEF by participating in the 2015 OktobeRun 5K on October 24th. Our coaches played an active role in recruitment at the schools prior to the event and, with the help of Philz Coffee, supported all their students who participated.  This community partnership highlights the priority PRCS and our PE+ coaches place on truly becoming part of the fabric of every school that we serve and the emphasis we place on building healthy communities.

Over 300 volleyball players, coaches, and parents attended Redwood City After School Sports Night to celebrate our 2015-16 volleyball season, as the Stanford Women's Volleyball team took on Washington State.  It was an amazing community event and our athletes also had the opportunity to meet the Stanford Volleyball team after their victory over the Huskies.  Thank you to all our wonderful coaches and parents for supporting our adventure to see some of the greatest student athletes in the country.
