Welcome to Athletics at Royal Oak Middle School!
Another great year of ROMS athletics has begun. Note the switch of seasons for volleyball and basketball. See below for sports seasons, teams and contacts.
Congratulations to the ROMS X-Country team for a fine start to their season. At their first meet, overall placement included Grade 8 Boys 1st overall, Grade 7 Boys and Girls teams ranked 2nd and Grade 8 girls took 3rd place overall. All students did very well, but 12 of our ROMS athletes individually placed in the top 10 of their races!

2009-2010
Royal Oak Middle School has long been known for its outstanding tradition when it comes to sports and athletics. Now, in our second year within the new building here at ROMS, we continue to build on the many, many different sports programs that we offered last year. The foundation of our athletic program has always been the combination of committed student athletes, supportive parents and quality adult coaching. It is our hope that every child will find an activity that they can take part in and excel in their own way. While the emphasis is always on participation, we will strive to do our best and be our best at every turn.
We recognize what an important role sports can play in the lives of young people and we know, from our own participation, the many "life lessons" that can be realized through sport. Please encourage your son or daughter to get involved in one or more of the many sports programs that we are currently offering here at ROMS. If for some reason you don't see a particular sport offered, and wish to get involved as a coach or manager, please contact the Athletic Department.
