As we prepare for the start of the season, here are a few important reminders:

Athletic Booster Club Meeting: Join us next week MONDAY July 20th 5:30p in the Library as we continue building support for all of our athletic programs. We hope to see you there!

Moratorium Week: Our second moratorium week takes place during the last week of July (27th-31st). We encourage everyone to enjoy the time off, recharge, spend time with family, and come back refreshed for the start of the season.

The official start of fall sports is Monday, August 3, beginning with our All Sports Mass at 8:00 a.m. It's a great opportunity for our entire athletic community to come together as we kick off another year of competition, faith, and Raider pride.

It’s that time of year again! Can you smell the fresh-cut grass? Do you hear the sounds of golf clubs connecting with the ball, resulting in the perfect drive? All of this will be a reality on Saturday, October 3rd, at the CRHS Annual Golf Outing happening at Eagle Creek Golf Course. Connecting alumni, friends, family, and supporters of Cardinal Ritter High School, the Golf Outing assists with raising funds for scholarships for the CRHS alumni legacy students. 

 Cardinal Ritter Athletic Booster Club Call Out! 

The Cardinal Ritter Athletic Booster Club is looking for new members to help support our student athletes and athletic programs.

Member responsibilities include attending monthly meetings (next meeting July 20th 5:30p library), helping plan fundraising events to raise money for athletic program needs, recruiting volunteers for ticketing and concessions at athletic events, and assisting with special events such as banquets and Rev Up sports basket.

We would love to have a representative for each sport at Cardinal Ritter, similar to a team parent (could be the same person), to help improve communication and support for every team.

If you are interested in getting involved and helping Cardinal Ritter Athletics, please email eobear@cardinalritter.org.
