The following list indicates how many times each player has attended an off-season P.A.S.S. or iSoccer session this winter and spring.  ATTENDANCE is taken at all sessions and the players who regularly attend these sessions will be better prepared and more reliable in the minds of the coaches come next fall!  Their regular attendance will also improve their standing when rosters are created for the upcoming summer tournaments.

An important informational meeting for ALL PLAYERS (and parents) who are planning on participating in the Ridgeview Boys Soccer program this fall will be held on THURSDAY NIGHT, MAY 30TH FROM 7:00-8:30PM in Coach Bleyer's TV Classroom at Ridgeview.

This meeting is also for INCOMING FRESHMEN (CURRENT 8TH GRADERS) who will be attending Ridgeview in the fall! 

A complete schedule for the summer and goals for players to reach before fall training begin will be presented.  The fall match schedule and the tryout procedure will also be discussed.  There will be important information about fundraising efforts as well.

ANY PLAYER WHO CAN'T ATTEND THE MEETING MUST INFORM COACH BLEYER AHEAD OF TIME.

Parents are encouraged to attend as well!

The RAVENS FC rosters for the two summer tournaments, the Capital Cup in late June and the Mt. Hood Challenge in mid-August, will be announced on Wednesday, May 1st.  We are only placing 18 players on the rosters for each event (plus 2 alternates) and we have well over 18 players available for each event so there are some difficult decisions to be made.

Please understand that when making the more difficult decisions an emphasis will be placed on the level of the player's commitment to our off-season activities (Ravens Futsal, PASS, iSoccer, fundraising and the captains' small side scrimmages).

If you are NOT on either summer tournament roster that does NOT mean you are not to attend our summer practice sessions and scrimmages!  Also, a player who did not attend many off-season activities from December and April can certainly work their way back into the program with regular attendance this summer!  We want all Ridgeview boys soccer players to be MORE THAN READY in all areas of their game come our FALL 2013 SEASON!

There will be more information about our summer training plans and the details of an important RAVENS BOYS SOCCER PROGRAM MEETING (time/date) coming soon... 

Here are the rosters for the two summer tournaments that RAVENS FC will be taking part in.  There are 17 players currently listed on each team and two alternates.  The 18th spot on each roster will definitely be filled by a player determined at a later date.  It is not guaranteed that the 18th player will definitely be one of the two alternates listed below.  PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE PER TOURNAMENT FEE FOR EACH PLAYER WILL BE UP TO BUT NO MORE THAN $75 TOTAL (not including food).  Please let Keith know soon if paying that fee is not possible.  We do hope to use team fundraising efforts to bring the cost down but for now that is not a guarantee.  Also, if a player on a roster below must back out of either event please inform Keith once that is known.

PARENTS of players below who are interested in serving as a team manager and/or chaperone for the group during the tournament weekends should get in touch with Keith!

PLAYERS NOT LISTED BELOW ARE STILL STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO TAKE PART IN AS MANY SUMMER TRAINING SESSIONS AND SCRIMMAGES AS POSSIBLE!  MORE INFORMATION ON THOSE IS COMING SOON.

GO RAVENS!

PLAY FOR 'RAVENS FC' THIS SUMMER!

We are excited to announce that Ridgeview players will participate in a pair of 'club' soccer tournaments this Summer.  The first will be the Capital Cup in Salem from June 28-30and the second will be the Mt. Hood Challenge in Portland on August 9-11!

The best news is how affordable it will be for the players who want to participate!  The cost per player, for BOTH tournaments and including lodging (3-4 per hotel room) will be less than $160.  (That total is approximate and does not include food and a few bucks for gas.)  It does not include any fundraising discounts and our goal will be to get that number even lower.

ALL PLAYERS WHO ATTEND AT LEAST ONE OF THE TOURNAMENTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN NEARLY ALL TEAM FUNDRAISING EFFORTS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. PLAYING TIME WILL BE EARNED BY REGULAR ATTENDANCE AT SUMMER TRAINING SESSIONS AND SCRIMMAGES IN THE ‘RUN UP’ TO EACH EVENT. THE DEADLINE TO INFORM KEITH REGARDING YOUR AVAILABILITY IS APRIL 1ST. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO ATTEND ONE OR BOTH TOURNAMENTS. AN 18 PLAYER ROSTER WILL BE CREATED BY COACH BLEYER FOR EACH EVENT NO LATER THAN MAY 1ST. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND BUT THEN MUST BACK OUT PLEASE LET KEITH KNOW RIGHT AWAY!

Coach Bleyer will travel with the team but he will need at least two other adults to make the trip to help supervise and chaperone. (One of those two might be Assistant Coach Myers and/or Assistant Coach Larson.) Please let me know if you have an adult that wants to accompany us!

The objective for participation in these events is for further player development, team shape and tactics and squad chemistry. All players will receive playing time. Participation in these events does not guarantee placement on the Varsity or even JV squads come the fall. However, regularly participating in any off-season program (Ravens Futsal/iSoccer/PASS/summer sessions) makes players better and therefore….

OUR P.A.S.S. AND iSOCCER SESSIONS START ON SUNDAY (1/27)! We will go from 4-5pm on Sundays (before Ravens Futsal from 5-7) and from 3-4pm on Thursdays at Ridgeview (either in the gym, commons out on the field). As I mentioned to you, it is very important that you attend at least one session per week. We will alternate between PASS and iSoccer on a weekly basis. I can't coach you BUT ATTENDANCE WILL BE TAKEN! Show me your commitment! The group sessions will be led by seniors-to-be Nate, Raul, and/or Chase.

I expect ALL PLAYERS to have posted their own scores on iSoccer assignment #1 (toe taps/foundation/juggling with feet and head) by Sunday, February 3rd.

Lastly, as I mentioned and I believe made very clear in our meetings this week, we will have a lot of good players who plan on being a part of what we do in year two. Therefore, you must prove your commitment to Ridgeview Soccer long before August is here if you plan on being an important part of the program in the fall of 2013!

No, I am not asking too much of you. We are talking about one or two hours a week and some technical work on your own... or a LOT of technical work on your own...

GO RAVENS!

The Ravens Boys Soccer post-season banquet has been moved back two days from its original date.  It will now be held on Thursday, November 29th in the SKY BOX at Ridgeview High School from 6:30-8pm.  All varsity and JV players and their parents are invited and encouraged to attend.  Dress is formal.  Players should wear a shirt, tie and slacks.  Jackets are optional but recommended.

All Ridgeview students, boys and girls, are invited to play in the FUN AND FREE RAVENS FUTSAL league this winter!  Games will take place on Sunday afternoons and evenings in the gym at Ridgeview HS.  Teams will be created (by Keith Bleyer) and schedules will be generated.  There is no coaching of any kind.  YOU JUST PLAY!  There will be at least two 'seasons,' so teams will change and players may come and go between the seasons if they like.

FUTSAL is an indoor version of soccer that is played WITHOUT walls and uses a smaller and heavier ball to encourage passing and control.  It is a GREAT way for players to improve their technical skills during the offseason!

There will be an informational meeting on Thursday, December 15th at 2:40 in the TV classroom at Ridgeview!  For more information keep checking the RAVENS FUTSAL page of this web site!

Ridgeview junior Raul Segoviano was named to the 2012 All-Intermountain Conference first team following the Ravens' first ever varsity soccer season.  The co-captain scored in multiple matches, including a hat trick at Crook County and two goals in a 3-1 victory over his former team, the Redmond Panthers.

Segoviano's co-captain, Nate Kandle, was named to the All-IMC second team and he is joined on that squad by Ridgeview defender Chase Bennett.  Kandle and Bennett, also both juniors, made significant contributions to the squad on both ends of the field in 2012.

The Ravens' first choice varsity goalkeeper, Dakota Curtis, was an All-IMC honorable mention selection.

CONGRATS TO THOSE RAVENS ON THEIR MAJOR ACHEIVEMENTS!

ONTARIO            5

RIDGEVIEW      2

ONTARIO — The Ravens fell behind 2-0 17 minutes into their Class 4A play-in match against the host Tigers, but a penalty kick by Raul Segoviano narrowed the deficit to 2-1 in the 22nd minute. Nakoda Sanders and Ruben Jauregui each had chances to even things up, but their shots missed the mark and the Ravens trailed 2-1 at the half. The Tigers scored less than a minute into the second half and added another goal later on to make it 4-1 before Sanders’ goal in the 72nd minute pulled Ridgeview to within two goals. Ontario scored again in the final minute to seal the victory. The Ravens’ inaugural season ended with a 5-7-1 record.

REDMOND        2

REDMOND — Zachary Dyck netted a pair of goals in the closing six minutes of the Ravens’ Intermountain Hybrid contest at Redmond High, including a rebound score within the final 10 seconds, according to Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer’s estimation, to propel the Ravens to victory. Dyck finished with three goals, and Vladimir Jonas was credited with an assist. Daniel Najera led the Panthers with two goals, one of them assisted by Miseal Correa. The regular season is now over for Class 4A Ridgeview (4-6-1 overall) and 5A Redmond (3-10 overall). They now await the final OSAA rankings when each classification is frozen on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

 PRINEVILLE — Raul Segoviano racked up three goals and an assist, as the Ravens used three scores in the second half to get by the Cowboys in a Class 4A Special District 1 showdown. Zachary Dyck logged a goal for Ridgeview. Highlighting his shutout performance in goal, Dakota Curtis made a key save early in the second half, when Crook County’s penalty kick was knocked away by Curtis with the Ravens leading 2-0. That, Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer said, “deflated" the Cowboys’ attack. Ridgeview (2-0 SD1, 4-6-1 overall) wraps up its regular season with a road game against Redmond High next Thursday. Crook County (0-2 SD1, 2-9 overall) plays host to the Summit JV on Wednesday.

Wyatt Lay and Diego Martinez each recorded two goals for Mountain View, which also saw Takuro Nihei, Bryce Tipton and Alex Pelayo pick up one goal apiece. John Nieto finished with two assists, and Mountain View coach Chris Rogers commended the play of Taylor Willman, who, Rogers said, did an “exceptional" job directing the offense. Mountain View (6-4-1 overall) hosts Summit on Thursday. Ridgeview (3-6-1 overall) heads to Prineville on Thursday to face Crook County.

REDMOND — Two games remain on its Class 5A Intermountain Conference boys soccer schedule, and Summit has its eyes on the ultimate prize. With a 3-0 Intermountain Hybrid win against Ridgeview on Thursday, the Storm are in a good position to finish strong. “We know what we’re playing for: an IMC championship," said Summit coach Ron Kidder, whose team improved to 9-1-1 overall. “It’s important to these guys. They want to get Summit another championship."  Glenn Sherman led the way for the Storm with two goals in their win over the Ravens. Dan Maunder collected a score of his own off a corner kick.

“We couldn’t cope with their speed," Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer said. “They have incredible pace." The Class 4A Ravens dropped to 3-5-1 overall with their second competitive loss of the week to a 5A team. “We’re in these matches," insisted Bleyer, whose team lost 2-0 at 5A Bend High on Tuesday. Both clubs get back to work on Tuesday, with Summit entertaining Bend High and Ridgeview welcoming Mountain View.

BEND - A pair of goals by Edgar Lemus was all the Lava Bears needed to seal an Intermountain Hybrid victory at Bend's 15th Street Field. Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer praised the play of freshman Malachi Stalberg, a left-footed athlete playing the right side of the back line. Bend (4-5-1 overall) visits Summit next Tuesday.

REDMOND          1

REDMOND - The 4A Ravens beat their 5A crosstown rivals in the first ever match up between the two Redmond schools. Junior Nate Kandle started the scoring in the middle of the first half after a nice combination with freshman Jon Irby at the top of the 18 yard box. Raul Segoviano scored next with a left footed shot that curled around the Panthers goalkeeper into the side netting at the far post. Segoviano then struck again with his head three minutes before the half on a perfectly placed left footed cross from his co-captain Kandle. The Ravens held off a Redmond squad determined to rally after the break. Ridgeview has won two straight matches and improves to 3-3-1 on the season.         

RIDGEVIEW             4

CROOK COUNTY    0

REDMOND — Within a span of 20 minutes, the Ravens’ Raul Segoviano put on a “one-man show," as described by Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer. Segoviano racked up three goals during that time frame, propelling the Ravens to a 4-0 lead at the half and eventually a Class 4A Special District 1 victory. “We just really put our foot on the pedal and didn’t really look back," Bleyer said. Freshman Nakoda Sanders recorded a goal in the 12th minute, which put the Ravens in front and set the tone for Segoviano’s “clinic of finishing," according to Bleyer. Both squads return to Intermountain Hybrid action Thursday, with Ridgeview (1-0 SD1, 2-3-1 overall) entertaining Redmond High and Crook County (0-1 SD1, 1-6 overall) hosting Summit.

BEND - After heading into the intermission tied 1-1, the Cougars unleashed a flurry of goals to pick up the Intermountain Hybrid victory at Mountain View High School. With the offense flowing through freshman Taylor Willman, whose performance as a distributor was praised by Mountain View coach Chris Rogers, the Cougars saw freshman Zach Emerson collect three goals. Mountain View also got scores from Hudson Newell and Bryce Tipton, as well as a pair of assists from Zel Rey. Zachary Dyck recorded Ridgeview’s lone goal, which was assisted by a cross from Nate Kandle a minute before halftime. Mountain View (3-3-1 overall) returns to conference action on Tuesday, when the Cougars visit Summit. Ridgeview (1-3-1) hosts Crook County in a Class 4A Special District 1 showdown the same day.

BEND — Summit’s Michael Wilson posted a hat trick against visiting Ridgeview on Tuesday as the Storm improved to 4-1-1 overall in boys soccer with a 5-0 victory over the Ravens. “He’s always a threat to score, where ever the ball is on the field," Summit coach Ron Kidder said about the speedy Wilson, the reigning Class 5A 400-meter dash champion. “He’s an incredible weapon to have because he’s incredibly fast."

Nigel Jones put the Storm ahead 1-0 in the eighth minute with a blast from 30 yards out. “It was a screamer," Kidder said. “One of the best shots I’ve ever seen from him." Wilson took over after Jones’ score, posting goals in the 12th and 20th minutes to give Summit a 3-0 lead at halftime.

After the break, Wilson made it 4-0 with a goal in the 42nd minute before Alex Bowlin recorded the game’s final goal in the 45th minute, making the score 5-0. “That’s a team that will be playing for the 5A crown, or at least that’s the kind of talent they have," Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer said.

Bowlin, Jacob Fritz, Dan Maunder and Eli Warmenhoven all ended the Intermountain Hybrid match with an assist for the Storm.

Bleyer noted the play of his two center defenders, Chase Bennett and Hector Ortega. “They’ve both had phenomenal years so far," the Ravens’ coach said about his two juniors standouts. “They’re the reason we’ve been able to keep scores down."

Ridgeview (1-2-1 overall) continues Intermountain Hybrid play on Thursday with a road match at Mountain View. Summit plays at Bend High the same day.

REDMOND — The Lava Bears used two first-half goals to separate themselves from Ridgeview in what Bend High coach Nils Eriksson called a “good team effort" en route to a 3-0 nonconference boys soccer win on Thursday. “We have things to work on, and that stands out," Eriksson said. “That's a good thing to see, what we need to work on. It was a good test because I thought Ridgeview played really well." Sophomore Scott Bracci got Bend (1-4-1) rolling with a 30-yard strike that Eriksson said “may have surprised the goalkeeper." “There was 20-25 mile an hour winds from one side to the other," Ridgeview coach Keith Bleyer said. “Any shot that was within 40 or 50 yards was doing funny things."

Senior Steven Dougherty collected a pair of goals — one at the end of the first half and another midway through the second — to put the game away and deal Ridgeview (1-1-1) its first loss of the season. Sophomore Dakota Curtis registered nine saves to lead the Ravens. “We could've been a little more precise in our passing, and I think we gave up the ball a few too many times," Eriksson said. “It wasn't like frustrating or anything. We just need to do better than that as we go in to play Summit and Mountain View. We're working and going in the right direction, that's for sure."

Both teams pick things up on Tuesday, with Bend traveling to Prineville for an Intermountain Hybrid matchup with Crook County and Ridgeview visiting Summit in a nonconference contest. “For a brand new (Class) 4A school, it's a crucible we're going through during this nine-day span through the jungle," Bleyer said of the next two games against Summit and Mountain View. “We're just going to hack our way out the other side."

MAZAMA              1

In their first stiff test of their first ever season the Ravens drew 1-all at home on Thursday to the Mazama Vikings, a 4A school from Klamath Falls.  The visitors struck first, in the 15th minute, from just 6 yards out after Ridgeview goalkeeper Dakota Curtis made a save but the rebound bounced directly out to the Vikings.

Challenged by their coach to play their best soccer after the first goal is scored, the Ravens rose to the challenge and began to control the match from that point forward.  In the 39th minute a nice passing combination through the middle of the field culminated with Zachary Dyck setting up Malachi Stalberg and the Ridgeview freshman scored his third goal of the young season with a shot that flew just under the crossbar.

The second half saw scoring opportunities for both sides, with Ridgeview using a passing game that led to many crosses and the Vikings utilizing their pace up top.  Curtis capped his excellent afternoon in goal for the home team with a point blake save in the dying moments to preserve the draw.

The Ravens (1-0-1) are off until September 20th when they host Bend High School.

—Reporter: glucas@bendbulletin.com

Thanks to all the players for their hard work during a challenging and stressful week of daily double tryouts.  Every one of you helped us set the standard for the program and you should be proud of your effort and attitude.  We have taken a great first step in creating a culture of success, respect and maturity.

Here are the rosters for the FIRST EVER season of Ridgeview Boys Soccer:

— Reporter: 541-383-0305, beastes@bendbulletin.com.

DAILY DOUBLES HERE WE COME!  THEY BEGIN MONDAY, AUGUST 20TH

IMPORTANT NOTES ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS MUST KNOW:

Unless you have already been excused by Coach Bleyer personally you MUST CHECK-IN BETWEEN 9:00AM AND 9:45AM ON MONDAY (8/20) in the TV classroom at Ridgeview (we'll make it easy for you all to get in). This includes players who are currently injured or not cleared yet (physical/academics/paperwork).

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PURPLE RIDGEVIEW SOCCER TRAINING SHIRT YOU MUST BRING THAT TO MONDAY'S CHECK-IN. All players will be issued a shirt for the week and they must wear the shirt to each session, morning and evening. (It'll be up to you how often you wash it... hopefully at least.... once.)

All players must also bring SHINGUARDS, SOCCER SHOES, RUNNING SHOES and a WATER BOTTLE to each session. Even if the schedule says something that leads you to believe you won't need your running shoes or shinguards, for example, be sure to bring 'em anyway. Large stickers with numbers will be distributed to all players and they must be worn on a player’s shirt or shorts for all sessions. ‘Skins’ (going shirtless) will not be allowed during any sessions. Shirts can be taken off the moment we're finished. We are requesting that players wear WHITE SHORTS AND SOCKS for each session but will not make that mandatory.

The meeting on Monday morning from 10-11am will cover important topics about what will be expected of Ridgeview boys soccer players and how we all plan to create a culture of success and respect. Players will be asked to sign a 'Ravens Boys Soccer Code' that holds them to certain standards on and off the field. PARENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE MEETING but it is not mandatory. (A separate 'parents only' meeting will be held Monday, August 27th at 7pm.)

By the way, PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND AND OBSERVE ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES NEXT WEEK. Just please respect the process and give the players and coaches their needed 'space.'

The players who miss Monday morning's meeting must attend a separate meeting (to cover what they missed) on Wednesday the 22nd at 5pm in the TV classroom at Ridgeview.

Currently injured players or (knock on wood) those who suffer a setback during the week are encouraged to still attend each session throughout the week to observe and show their commitment to the program.

On Friday (8/24) afternoon (by 3pm) we will release the varsity and JV rosters via e-mail and will post them on this site. We will then distribute the players their full 'kit' for the season (two full sets of match day uniforms and sweats) that evening (6:30p), take team pictures and have a fun celebratory mixed squad scrimmage!

IT WILL BE A CHALLENGING WEEK FOR ALL. IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE HOT. STAY HYDRATED.

We will be asking the boys to take 'ice baths' on site (for muscle regeneration) and eat fruit (provided) following each session. A school trainer will be available at almost all times and we will take frequent breaks. If you have any questions or want to alert me of any absences, don't fail to get in touch with Coach Bleyer.

HERE WE GO! GO RAVENS!

CLICK BELOW TO ACCESS A PRINTOUT OF THE WEEK'S SCHEDULE

Physical and Clearance Night for Ridgeview HS athletes will be held on Monday, August 13th from 5-8pm at OBSIDIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

Parents need to accompany their student-athlete to this event to complete the clearance process and submit the 'pay-to-play' fees.  Incoming FRESHMEN and JUNIORS are required to get a physical before competing in Ridgeview sports.  Local doctors, medical personnel and community members have donated their time, so your $30 fee for the physical goes to sports medicine supplies for Ridgeview athletes for the upcoming year!

TO MINIMIZE LONG LINES, PLEASE COME AT THE DESIGNATED TIME:

The Ravens recently held a car wash at AIC Insurance, located right next door to the new Fred Meyer Gas station.  IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

We raised a nice 'chunk-o-change' which all goes directly to Ridgeview High School athletics and Ravens soccer!

A big THANKS TO Travis Bennett for volunteering the great space, the Curtis family for arranging the outing and all of the other parents, players and siblings who helped with the event.  We'll definitely be doing it again.

So get your car nice and dirty between now and then!

The Ravens traveled to Portland to watch the Timbers face Chivas USA in Major League Soccer on Saturday, July 28th!

Our players and parents made a long day out of it and had a great time cheering as members of the Timbers Army!  Unfortunately, a Danny Califf header for the Goats in the second half was the only goal of the game and Portland lost the match 1-nil.  But our group had a great time.

THANKS TO THE PARENTS WHO VOLUNTEERED TO TRANSPORT THE BOYS TO AND FROM PORTLAND!

The Ridgeview Boys Soccer Program is spending the week at the fair!  And not just to eat cotton candy...

To increase awareness for our first season and to raise some funds the Ravens were fortunate enough to be given a booth at the Deschutes County Fair at the Expo Center in Redmond, which runs from Wednesday (August 1) through Sunday (August 5th).

OUR PLAYERS WILL BE ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR WHILE REPRESENTING OUR SCHOOL AND PROGRAM AND WILL BE AS OUTGOING AS THEY... NORMALLY ARE!

THE RAVENS HAVE TAKEN FLIGHT!

A landmark moment in the history of high school sports in Redmond, Oregon took place on the morning of Saturday, June 2nd, 2012.  The Ridgeview HS boys soccer program held its first ever small side scrimmages event!  Thanks to the nearly 30 players who attended our optional scrimmage and finishing session.

IF YOU ARE ATTENDING RIDGEVIEW HIGH SCHOOL IN THE FALL OF 2012 OR ATTEND THE R.P.A. AND LIVE WITHIN THE RIDGEVIEW BOUNDARY, COME JOIN US!  Don't wait for an invite... just show up!

All of the summer sessions are located on the Calendar page of our web site.  Wear a white shirt (of any kind) and always bring a pair of shinguards.

OUR FREE OPTIONAL SMALL SIDE SCRIMMAGES, FINISHING SESSIONS, iSOCCER TESTING AND STRENGTH+CONDITIONING WORK WILL BEGIN ON THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 2ND AND 3RD!  

SMALL SIDE AND FINISHING

• Saturday, June 2nd from 10a-11:45a at Obsidian Middle School
• Sunday, June 3rd from 10a-11:45a at Obsidian Middle School

USA VS CANADA VIEWING PARTY

• Sunday, June 3rd from 3p-6p at site TBD

We look forward to and expect many of our players to come out and play some fun small side games and do some shooting! Yes, everything we do during the summer is optional, but the boys who attend the most sessions over the summer will both be better players come August when tryouts arrive and will have proven their commitment to RAVENS SOCCER! We're not actually expecting any player to attend every single thing we do this summer (one or two might) but we do expect MOST PLAYERS to make MORE THAN HALF of the events on our calendar. If you know you will be missing most of what we'll be doing this summer I would advise you to contact Keith (kbleyer@bendbroadband.com) and explain why.  We'll be fine with it but it would be good information to have.

PLEASE WEAR A WHITE SHIRT (OF ANY KIND) AND ALWAYS BRING YOUR SHINGUARDS!

Lastly, don't forget to spread the word about our summer sessions! Make sure every Ridgeview bound soccer player knows about all of these free opportunities to play. 

Again, these RAVENS SOCCER training sessions this summer are only for students attending Ridgeview in the fall (or attending RPA but living within the Ridgeview boundary). Those players who will be attending Redmond HS in the fall (or living within the Redmond HS boundary) should contact the Panthers' new boys head coach, Ansel Evans (ansel.evans@redmond.k12.or.us).

 

Ridgeview's 1,400-seat football stadium anchors its outside athletic facilities. Surrounded by an eight-lane track, the athletic field was built without a crown to make it usable for soccer matches as well as football. The field runs east to west with spectacular views of the Cascades. A practice field sits just behind the home bleachers in the picture. For track season, the stadium houses two rings for shot put, two pole vault areas and two long- and triple-jump pits.
