Several weeks after school has started, soccer is the first sport played during Fall. Ruffner welcomes all experienced and inexperienced soccer players. For those who haven't played soccer before, they will be trained by our soccer coach, or other experienced players. Most games take place at River's Edge Sport Complex. The colors of the uniforms stand for Ruffner school color, gold and green.
Players can also ask for shin guards if needed.
The last game usually ends in late October and starts again next school-year. Besides soccer, tennis also takes place in Fall. Ruffner School offers two tennis teams, one for boys and the other for girls. After being trained for 2-3 weeks, the tennis players play against other teams from schools in Roanoke such as Woodrow Wilson, Madison, Brenkinridge and Addison. Participating on the Ruffner Wrestling team is not very hard, however, it's also not easy.
