Middle-school students can join Youth Center, Intramurals, other activities
Posted August 25, 2025
Area middle-school students can join the Youth Center, participate in intramurals, work out in the Community Fitness Center at Plymouth High School, and join the Riverview Robotics Team.
These opportunities are open to all area students in the appropriate grades, including public, parochial, and homeschooled students.
Youth Center
The Youth Center is open to all area students in grades 5-8. Located next to Riverview Middle School at 609 North St., the center is open after school until 5 p.m. on regular school days with at least one adult present at all times.
Memberships cost $63/year, $32/trimester, or $16/month. If financial assistance is needed, please contact Community Education & Recreation. Registration is handled by using the MyRec online registration system. (Parents/guardians will need to create a MyRec account, if they do not already have one.)

Intramurals
Intramurals, open to all area students in grades 5-6, offer a variety of physical activities to accommodate different levels of skill and interests. The focus is on the enjoyment of physical activities, rather than the pressure to compete and win, as in competitive athletics.
Participants will enjoy the benefits of movement, develop positive attitudes, increase self-esteem and positive social interactions, and broaden their skill, fitness and leisure choices.
Instructor: Gina Krueger, Riverview P.E. teacher
Details: 2:45-3:30pm select days Sept. 11-Oct. 28 in Riverview Gym
Fee: Free, but participants must be registered via MyRec; registration opens 11 a.m. Aug. 27

Fitness Center
Students in grades 5-8 living in the district or attending our schools can use the Fitness Center for free if accompanied by a parent/guardian (who must have their own Fitness Center membership if they also work out). Exception: Students in grades 7-8 may use the facility independently after they have successfully completed our Middle-School Lifting program.
Students must be registered by a parent/guardian for a free student membership via MyRec. Once students have a membership, they will need to download their member barcode onto their phone, or print and laminate it, so that they can scan the code each time they come.
Student hour is from 3 to 4 p.m. weekdays during the school year; students may ride any of the school buses from Riverview to PHS. Students also are welcome anytime during public hours (5-7:30 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. weekdays and 7-1 a.m. Saturdays), though the facility may close early if no community members are present.

Robotics team
Area students in grades 5-8 are invited to join the Riverview FIRST Lego Robotics Team.
Participants will build a Lego Spike Prime robot, develop coding and programming skills, work on an innovation project for the FIRST Lego League Challenge, and be part of a team that competes against other middle-school teams this fall.
The team meets 6:30-8pm Tuesdays in the Riverview Tech Ed/STEAM room (Room 113).
