RYCA To Head New League

Things are really coming together for the RYCA.  We have several new exciting things coming up for the kids and the community.  As we are no longer affiliated with the YMCA,  we had a couple of options.  Continue with what we have been doing, or be progressive and elevate our game.  We chose to elevate our game.

While not wavering on our goal to be community pure, we wanted to give our kids unique experiences other than just playing each other and the HHCA Hawks.  We are on the verge of creating a league that, for now, will consist of Rockwall, Heath and Terrell.  Other local cities might come into play before it is all said and done.  We are also discussing possible interleague play with the city of Wylie.  This will be a great experience for our kids to play cities that they will play for years to come as they enter middle and high school.  

Also the first 50 people that signup for football and the first 50 that signup for cheer will be given 10 discount fundraiser cards that have a face value of $10 each. If you sell all 10 you will make $100 back to put in your pocket.  That is right, in your pocket. 

If you are interested in volunteering to help the RYCA in any capacity, please reach out to me directly.  Please help spread the word and let’s make this the best season Rockwall Youth Football has ever seen.  Thanks again.

RYCA Ushers in a New Era

This is an exciting time to be part of the RYCA Rockwall Youth Community Athletics organization as we are no longer affiliated with the YMCA. We reorganized our RYCA board to ensure we are positioned for continued success as board members and volunteers move on to middle school. We are also launching our new RYCA Youth Sports website at http://rycayouthsports.com. All future RYCA announcements and organizational collateral will be located there.

 For the Fall 2014 Season you will not register through the YMCA.  You will register on our website http://rycayouthsports.com.  There will be a link to sign up for Fall 2014 Football and Cheer.  As you register your child you can also sign up to be a coach, asst. coach, team mom or volunteer.  If you sign up to be one of the above, upon check out you will be redirected to a background check form.  Everyone involved with the kids will also need to have background checks to ensure the safety of all kids within the RYCA. All eligible RYCA coaches who coached last year will be returning including new coaches with teams because of the huge interest. If you want to coach, let us know ASAP because we will have training classes to get you certified. 

We have the full support from Coach Reeves and the RISD coaches on helping us provide another great and successful season. We will work with the RISD and will play on the same fields as last year. All RYCA coaches will be safety certified and attend a coaching clinic put on by the Rockwall HS coaching staff.

If you are interested in volunteering to help the RYCA in any capacity, please reach out to me directly. Thanks again.

Rockwall Jacket Football Sports a New Attitude

It’s a new day in Rockwall, and a new attitude for Rockwall’s premier youth football team.  Rockwall County boasts one of the largest organizations in North Texas run by the Rockwall Youth Community Athletics (RYCA) with over 300 registered players ready to hit the field representing their grade and school.

This is truly “Jacket Pride” at its finest.  The RYCA has a strong commitment to principles and strives to be a community-driven organization with the genuine participation of athletes, volunteers, parents, family members, teachers, school administrators and local businesses.

The RYCA will make every effort to make sure that every child with the desire to participate gets the opportunity to play or cheer, without financial costs, prior experience, athletic ability or size.  We are devoted to inspiriting our young athletes (kindergarten through 6th grade) and will give them the challenge of competition, the joy of victory, the reality of defeat, the importance of commitment and spirit in the community.  We believe these values and virtues are important to athletes’ growth and to them becoming active members of our community and society.

Rockwall Jacket Youth Football is the only program that is vertically aligned with Rockwall High School according to Varsity High School Coach Rodney Webb.  For more information about the league visit www.leaguelineup.com/ryca or follow your favorite team on Facebook.
