Summer Training Opportunities for RMS Student-Athletes

Many of our Ricardo ISD student-athletes will attend one of several area high schools after leaving Ricardo Middle School. To help incoming students prepare for the upcoming athletic seasons, some of these high schools offer summer strength and conditioning programs, camps, and athletic training opportunities.

Several of our partner high schools have shared information about their summer programs, and we have included their flyers below for families who may be interested.

Please note that these programs are organized and operated by the individual high schools. If you have questions regarding schedules, registration, costs, transportation, eligibility, or other program details, please contact the high school directly using the information provided on their flyer.

We encourage our student-athletes to take advantage of opportunities that will help them stay active, develop their skills, and prepare for success at the high school level.
