Built for Beloit
Rising Tide Athletics was created to combine free and accessible youth sports with quality instruction and development. No child should be precluded from participating in youth sports based on income, nor should they be restricted from the quality instruction and resources available to those elsewhere. We fund and operate all sports leagues ourselves.
Spring Leagues
Back again for our third spring season of Rec Soccer!
We at Rising Tide are funding, organizing, and handling all of it. It's FREE. All you need to do is sign up.
Teams from each school will have a regular season running from April through June.
ANY LOCAL SCHOOLS are eligible to participate granted enough kids sign up with us to form a full team. Homeschoolers are welcome to participate as well.
Players who do not qualify or do not wish to compete in the Rising Tide FC, or who simply wish to participate for the enjoyment of the sport are welcomed to join our recreational league.
Players of
all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to participate.
Summer Leagues
We offer both Flag Football (Spring) and Tackle Football (Fall). Both of which are divided by school. Our Flag Football also consists of an elite travel team (8U, 10U, and 12U).
Our Tackle Football is offered to grades 3rd through 6th. It includes the teaching of proper fundamentals and tackling from a young age. Player safety is our number one priority as we seek to develop these young athletes into young men.

Winter Leagues
Our inaugural 2024/2025 winter basketball was a major success. Teams were divided by school, with over 15 elementary schools and 40 teams participating. Teams competed across four divisions for the Stateline Basketball Cup.
Congratulations to Gaston Elementary (Varisty), Garden Prairie Elementary (NCAA), Gaston Elementary (NBA East), and Hackett Elementary (NBA West) for their championships. This same model will be replicated for the 2025/2026 winter season
