Elementary Sports Program
Grades K-5

Runnels offers an after-school sports program in several seasonal sports. The three major objectives of the sports program are listed in their order of importance:

1. To help young people develop physically, psychologically, and socially.
2. To help them have fun in practices and games.
3. To have winning teams.

In other words, athletes come first, winning last.

Grade 6

The sixth graders participate in sports through the Runnels Junior High Athletic Department which offers participation in after-school programs throughout the year for students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Sports currently offered at Runnels for 6th graders include boys and girls swimming, basketball, and soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball. At this level special consideration is given to the formation of small teams that are equally competitive to ensure ample playing opportunities for all participants whenever possible.
