SUPPORT THE BLUE WAVES BY ATTENDING THEIR GAMES!

Communicating with RCSD Coaches Policy
Both parenting and coaching are extremely difficult vocations.  By establishing an understanding of each position, we are better able to accept the actions of the other and provide greater benefit to children.  As parents, when your children become involved in
Our program, you have a right to understand what expectations are placed on your child.

This begins with clear communication from the coach of your child’s program. >MORE

Guidelines for Codes of Behavior for Spectators
It is the duty of all those concerned with high school athletics to emphasize the proper ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct and fair play under all circumstances.  The values to be derived from playing the game fairly should be stressed, and any actions which tend to destroy those values should be discouraged. Courtesy should be shown toward opponents, officials, supervisors, spectators and administrators. >MORE

From NEWSDAY- 2/28/10
Riverhead's Sasha Schafer can be added to the list of top performers. The senior set a school indoor and outdoor record in the pole vault with a height of 14 feet, 3 inches.

"My hope was actually to come in and clear 13-6, because that's my season best," Schafer said. "14-3 is a surprise . . . It was an amazing feeling."

Schafer attributed some of his success to the surface.

"I've had good luck with this track," he said. "It's one of the best for winter track."
