Follow the Richfield Dugout Club on Facebook and check out more information on the Dugout Club website. 

The Richfield Dugout Club supports the RHS baseball program through fundraising events and the operation of the concession stand. 

Concession Stand: Volunteers are needed to help with shifts for home games. The concession stand operates during April, May and June of the High School season and continues into the summer for the Legion season. All concession stand profits go directly to the Dugout Club for the support of the Richfield High School baseball teams. All parents are required to volunteer for a minimum of 2 concession stand shifts.

100 Inning Tournament: The players request sponsorships from friends and families for playing 100 innings. All RHS Baseball players are divided into four teams and play a series of 100 innings/games against each other.

Before you participate in any practice, tryout or competition, you will need to complete the online registration process.

• Step One: A sports-qualifying physical must be on file in our office before you can register online. Sports-qualifying physicals are good for three years.
• Step Two: Complete the MSHSL forms in the online registration system.
• Step Three: Once the sports-qualifying physical in on file and the MSHSL forms are completed in the online system, you can register for athletics. 

Payment: If you are going to pay in cash or do a partial payment in the athletic office, please complete the online registration paperwork. Once your online registration is complete, bring your payment to the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office located at Richfield High School or to the Student Services Office at Richfield Middle School.

Register Online through SchoolPay

If you are a student at one of our partner schools and would like to register for the Richfield Spartans Baseball team, please contact our athletics office at athletics@rpsmn.org or by calling 612-798-6132.

Registration fees are due at the time of registration. If you are unable to pay the full amount, contact the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office for payment plan options. As a reminder, you will need to pay past due payment plan fees or make a minimum payment and submit a payment plan to participate.

If you are going to pay in cash or do a partial payment in the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office (located in Richfield High School), please complete the MSHSL forms, Registration Form and Emergency Card in the online system and process that portion of the registration prior to coming to the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office. 

Athletic fees can be found on pages 12-13 of the handbook.

We never want finances to be a reason why a student does not participate in a co-curricular opportunity! There are several options available to help.

• Payment Plans: Families can pay a minimum of $25 at registration and then pay the remaining balance during the season. 
• Reduced Fees: Students who receive educational benefits through the Minnesota Department of Education qualify for an automatic deduction in their registration fees. 
  • Students who qualify for reduced educational benefits receive a 25% deduction (discount) in fees.
  • Students who qualify for free educational benefits receive a 50% deduction in fees.
  • If you have not applied yet, we encourage all families to apply. You can apply for educational benefits here.
• Scholarships: Families who cannot pay their registration fee in full may request a reduced fee for economic hardship. All requests are reviewed by the Activities Office and additional documentation may be requested. Please email athletics@rpsmn.org so we can create a plan that works for your family.  

If you need a sports-qualifying physical, it is best to have your primary healthcare provider complete the exam because they are most aware of your health history. A second option is to go to your family’s health clinic. If you do not have a primary care physician or a family clinic, a third option is the Richfield Health Resource Center (RHRC) in Richfield High School. 

RHRC is open Wednesdays from 1-5 p.m. As a reminder, the RHRC provides care on a first-come, first-served basis and the beginning of each athletic season is a very busy time. Once the RHRC reaches patient capacity for an afternoon, patients are turned away. It is recommended that students get their sports-qualifying physical done before it is needed for Richfield athletics.

1. Download the Sports Qualifying Physical form before your appointment (English | Spanish).
2. It is important to complete page two of the form before attending your appointment, including a parent/guardian signature.
3. After your physical, it is your responsibility to bring a copy of the form to the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office. You can send it to athletics@rpsmn.org, fax it to 612-798-6129, or bring it to the Athletic and Competitive Activities Office at Richfield High School or the Student Services Office at Richfield Middle School.
