The Modified Sports Program is designed for middle school athletes with the following goals in mind:

• Student-athletes should be able to explore and expand interests and abilities.
• Coaches should maximize opportunities for all students to participate.
• A major focus of teaching and time commitment should concentrate on basic fundamentals of the activity. Emphasis is on skill building and team concepts.
• Varsity athletes should be utilized in demonstrations and clinics initiated by the high school coaching staff.

Middle school athletes may choose to try out for junior varsity- or varsity-level teams, provided they pass the New York State Selection Classification Test. If a middle school athlete competes at the varsity or JV level, she or he may not later compete in that same sport at the modified level.
