Ralphie’s Kids Roundup (RKR), funded in part by the generosity of donors, provides an opportunity for Colorado kids, 8th grade and under, to experience college sports at the University of Colorado Boulder. Unfortunately, kids who are in 9th grade and above are unable to participate due to NCAA rules. Sports in this program include Football, Volleyball, Soccer and Women’s Basketball.
Groups Who Can Participate
Ralphie’s Kids Roundup looks to bring out schools, sports teams and other official Colorado youth organizations in the area who otherwise would not have the opportunity to come to the CU Boulder campus and experience a Buffs game. Ralphie’s Kids Roundup is geared towards underrepresented youth (low income, at-risk, first-generation, students of color, non-traditional students, etc.)
