One of our student athletes just had an outstanding performance. I believe she may have broken a NYSPHSAA record. How do I submit her name to be included in the records listed on the website www.nysphsaa.org? Please go to the website, www.nysphsaa.org and click on RECORDS. You will then be directed to a page that includes the RECORD REPORTING FORMS and the record books for the NYSPHSAA and NFHS. Please click on the REPORTING FORMS and that will direct you to the forms that you will need to submit the record. Q. I have heard that the classification cut off numbers have been changed for the 2010 – 2011 school year. Is it true, and if so what are the new numbers? The NYSPHSAA annually reviews the classification numbers to determine if a change is warranted. At the December 2009 Executive Committee meeting, the cut off numbers were changed for next school year. For 2010 – 2011 the numbers will be: Class AA 925 and up, Class A 525 – 924, Class B 305 – 524, Class C 175 – 304 and Class D 174 and below. Q. How would I go about nominating someone for the NYSPHSAA Hall of Fame? Please go to our website, www.nysphsaa.org . Click on the FORMS button (on the top) and you will be able to access the nomination form. Please make sure that you provide all the information that is required with your nomination packet. The nomination must be approved by the Section prior to being submitted to the NYSPHSAA office. The completed nomination forms must be submitted by the December 15th deadline. Q. Where do I seek advice when I have a sport specific question such as a clarification of a sport rule, not an eligibility standard? We suggest that you contact the sport coordinator from your local section. We consider all sport coordinators to be the recognized expert in their particular sport. If they are unable to assist you, please contact our state sport coordinator for clarification. Q. I have two students who would like to participate in practices with the soccer team. One student has been deemed ineligible due to the transfer rule and the other student is a special needs student who turned 19 prior to July 1st. May I allow them to participate? No. All “athletes must meet all standards of eligibility for practice or competition.” (NYSPHSAA Handbook p. 90, 100) Q. I have a male student who wants to swim as an independent, is this possible. The NYSPHSAA does not recognize independent competitors; the student must represent the school in which they are a bona fide student. A student can be an individual competitor, representing their school with a certified coach who has been appointed by the Board of Education. The athlete must meet all the standards of eligibility and meet the criteria under the Representation regulation. Q. May I split my tennis team on a particular day into two squads and have them compete in matches at two different locations and/or may I split my tennis team on a particular day into two squads and have one group play a match while the other goes to another school for a scrimmage? Yes, you

  • Horace Mann School ATHLETIC HANDBOOK
    Horace Mann School ATHLETIC HANDBOOK For STUDENT-ATHLETES AND PARENTS This handbook has been developed with the intent of helping to make interscholastic athletics at Horace Mann as simple, effective, and as enjoyable as possible. It is hoped that by assembling all the material that relates to the administration of athletic programs in one central volume, parents and student athletes will have a better understanding of these practices, policies, and procedures with a more convenient reference to them. This handbook is intended to clearly state and define methods for accomplishing specific tasks, to outline basic goals, and to recommend guidelines for the maintenance of high standards in the overall athletic program. It is also intended to be a practical tool that answers more questions than it creates and which parents and student athletes find to be a usable resource and not just another item to be filed away. This handbook is designed to supplement and not replace direct communication among all members of the athletic community. The Athletic Director will always be available to provide whatever assistance is required in pursuit of common goals. Finally, any suggestions you might have for improving this handbook or any of its content is welcome.

  • Parents, Hall Boys Tennis Team
    To: Parents, Hall Boys Tennis Team (Varsity and Junior Varsity-Team 1 and Team 2 From: Jim Solomon, Head Coach ([email protected]), ([email protected]); ​ ​ Sean Passan, Assistant Coach ([email protected]), ​ ​ Steven Smith, Assistant Coach ([email protected]) ​ ​ Will Carpenter, Adam Glassman and Henry Glucksman, captains. Welcome to the 2018 spring sports season and the Hall Boys Tennis family. The varsity (Team 1) has an 18 match schedule that includes league, non-league and tournament play and two pre-season scrimmages. The Junior Varsity (Team 2) has 12 scheduled matches--some co-ed. Both schedules may be found on Hall’s Athletic Dept website. Few public schools have multiple teams, but with our outstanding facility, support of the Athletic Department and heightened interest among student-athletes, Hall is a nationally recognized USTA “No Cut Tennis” program and is the largest boys team in Connecticut. We are fortunate to have two returning assistant coaches, Sean Passan and Steven Smith. Philosophy: Hall Tennis has an excellent reputation for its high standards of ​ performance and conduct on the courts. As coaches we try to achieve success by balancing team and individual goals and by focusing on performance rather than outcome objectives. Players strive to improve competitive skills, strategy, mental toughness and physical conditioning. As with any individual sport, it is crucial that we build a strong sense of team. With the captains’ capable assistance, we emphasize team commitment as well as the privilege of representing Hall Tennis, Hall High School, their families and themselves. We hope to instill a love of tennis as a life sport.
