CHAPPAQUA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS 2009-2010

Grades 7 and 8

General Information for Players and Parents

Philosophy:

The 7-8th grade middle school athletic program is the student’s first experience with an interscholastic athletic organization. This program is structured to encourage the student to participate and explore his/her abilities. The sports offered embrace all students without the fear of being cut, thus allowing students to gain improved self-esteem, benefits of physical conditioning, skill development and opportunities to meet students from other schools. Competitions will only be against other 7-8th grade students.

Modified sports have fewer competitions, less time frames for contests and a shorter season than the high school programs. All of the coaches must maintain the same certification criteria as high school coaches.

In order for the desired development of the adolescent athlete and team to occur, practice sessions are vital.
