GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT Our
Fall, Winter and Spring Sports
The fall season usually begins
during the second week of August and lasts through October,
although some playoffs such as football will continue until
Thanksgiving.
The winter season usually begins in early
November and continues through March.
The spring season
generally runs from early March and ends in early June.
The
athletic trainer for all sports is Rick Knizek. He is
located at High School East every day. His schedule will
be posted on this page monthly.
Each season offers a variety of
opportunities for boys and girls. There are four levels of
competition: Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshman and Modified.
The Freshman and Modified levels are only offered for certain
sports. The Varsity (V) level is primarily made up of juniors
and seniors, though it is not uncommon to have exceptional
underclassmen on a varsity team. The Junior Varsity (JV) is
mostly tenth graders but when there is no Freshman team
available many JV programs will contain ninth graders. The
Freshman (F) level is comprised mainly of ninth grade
students; however, younger students who are exceptional
athletes may be Selectively Classified (see below) to compete at the
Freshman level. The Modified (M) level is a developmental
program for younger athletes in eighth grade and some
exceptional seventh graders. The athletes participating in a
Modified program do not have to be Selectively Classified.

Selective classification
for 7th or 8th graders to participate on an interscholastic
athletic team
The Selection/Classification
Program is a process for screening students to determine their
readiness to compete in interscholastic athletic competition
by evaluating their physical maturity, fitness and skill. The
student may be placed at the appropriate level of competition
which should result in increased opportunity, a fairer
competitive environment, reduced injury and greater personal
satisfaction. The intent of this program is to provide for
students in grades 7 through 12 to safely participate at an
appropriate level of competition based upon readiness rather
than age and grade.
Prior to tryouts,
students will have to complete the following:
Step 1: Student must
have a Sports Physical, either at school during the
predetermined sports physical nights (click
here for information on school physicals), OR by
the student's primary medical doctor (click
here for information on private physical clearance).
Step 2: Student must
have a MATURATION screening done by the school's physicians,
Dr. Marinello or Dr. Cotugno. STUDENTS MUST COME TO A
SPORTS PHYSICAL NIGHT TO HAVE THIS DONE.
Step 3: Student must
have a Physical Fitness test done by Coaches Eggleston/Dochat,
to determine a student's ability to participate in upper level
sports.
Spring 2009 testing date TBA.
If the student meets
all the requirements, he/she will be eligible to TRYOUT
for his/her particular sport. This process does not
guarantee participation on a team.
Selection-Classification Process
Selection classification is
designed for a student who demonstrates physical capabilities
that indicate she/he may be able to participate in the
Shenendehowa sports program at the Freshman, Junior Varsity or
Varsity level. To be considered for such an opportunity you
must complete the process outlined below.
SELECTION CLASSIFICATION
PROCESS:
June (preparation for Fall
Sports only)

the specific sports meeting (will be announced in school) to
receive the information regarding try outs.

their physical education teacher for their physical fitness
scores.

Director, and either Coach Dochat (boys) or Coach Eggleston
(girls).
-
dochscot@shenet.org,
egglshaw@shenet.org

-
The athlete will report
to sport physicals in August. You must
attend one of these physical dates - there are no
make-up dates.
-
Athletes will report to
High School East for testing in the main lobby on dates TBA.
-
The ONLY athletes tested
will be those who have completed the sports physical and
maturation process with the school physician, Dr. Marinello.
-
Coaches will be
responsible for completing any exemptions required for the
athlete to compete. The exemption form must be filed with
the NYS Education Department.
ONLY STUDENTS WHO HAVE
COMPLETED THE ENTIRE PROCESS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO
TRY-OUT.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Committing yourself to
completing the Selection Classification process does not
secure or guarantee you a position on the team. Being
recommended by your physical education teacher, having a sport
physical and passing the fitness test only provides you
with the opportunity to TRYOUT for the team!

SPECTATOR COURTESY CODE |
|
It is the belief that good sportsmanship on the part of spectators
at high school athletic contests is as important as good
sportsmanship on the part of the players. The following guidelines
for spectator conduct are expected as a means of continuing and
strengthening the ties that exist between competing schools.
Spectators are encouraged to be actively involved in positive
behaviors that promote enthusiastic support for our interscholastic
teams. Spectators should cheer for our teams rather than against
others. Discourteous or unsportsmanlike behaviors are unacceptable.
No spectator should be involved in any of the following actions:
- No one shall throw any object on to the playing surface. This
action is equally dangerous to Shen athletes, other participants
and spectators.
- No one shall use unacceptable language when cheering or engage
in any cheer that is demeaning to a team or an individual (players,
coaches, referees, or other spectators)
- No sound producing devices shall be used. This includes horns
of any type, whistles, drums, etc.
