Sports

Both Girls Volleyball and Boys Basketball are starting this month. Please check the calendar for our schedules. We play several home games for each sport, so come out and support our Pioneers!

Welcome to Pioneer Athletics. Here you will find the latest and most up to date information about our Sports Programs at Citrus Ridge. First, here’s a note from Coach Retzlaff, our Athletic Director.

Here at Citrus Ridge Academy we give the middle school students an opportunity to participate in our after school Athletics Program. Our student athletes are held to a higher standard than the rest of the student body. The student athletes are our leaders and will represent us when we visit other schools in the county. At Citrus Ridge we are building our students to be upstanding citizens of the community. In order for us to hold our student athletes accountable for their actions we set aside a rule that they must adhere to. If a student is suspended for any reason the administration team and athletic director will meet and discuss whether the student should be released from the team or sit out one game. It is a case by case matter, but we always strive for our student athletes to follow all school rules and set a positive example for the rest of the student body.
