To do this, an athlete must meet all the provisions of the New York State Selective Classification process. The New York State Selective Classification test determines the physical capabilities of a student in state-sanctioned conditioning drills and criteria. Likewise, a less skilled order athlete may be advised to play down. It should be emphasized that the screening process to determine the Developmental Rating of each candidate be as inconspicuous and discrete as possible. The Six Item Athletic Performance Test should be administered by a physical educator who is not the coach of the team for which the student is being evaluated.
Spectators Cheering our athletes on to competitive play and victory is always encouraged.
However, cheers and remarks which are derogatory, insulting, or in any way disrespectful to anyone, are considered to be in extremely poor taste and will not be tolerated. This clearly excludes any actions or behaviors that would prove embarrassing to one s self, team, school, or those of the opponent. Consistent with good sportsmanship is the expectation that our student athletes have a high regard for the concept of team play. The value of the individual athlete, while worthwhile, is always considered to be subordinate to that of the team. Athletes, coaches, and parents are expected to demonstrate their understanding of this concept by dedication and allegiance to the team and to its established goals.
