Athletics

Riverhill School offers one of the best physical education programs in the area. The curriculum trains in lifetime games as well as skills leading to success in every sport available. The students experience a new unit of skills every 2 to 3 weeks. This fully prepares them to master any athletic pursuit they wish to follow.

Each year, many Riverhill students receive the Presidential and National Physical Fitness Awards. This requires training during Physical Education classes. Weekly all of our students are expected to run at least one mile, showing the commitment of the school to physical fitness.

Students in grades 3-6 participate in interscholastic sports through the Florence Independent School League. Students in grades 7-9 compete in the Alabama High School Athletic Association or in club events. Riverhill endorses competition in a variety of sports. When there is enough student interest, teams in basketball, cross-country, track, volleyball, tennis, golf, and soccer are available. Coaches encourage teamwork and positive relationships among students.
