Good afternoon,
For the 2022 spring season, we offer the following:
Girls and Boys Track & Field ( Varsity & Modified), Softball (Varsity, JV, and Modified), Baseball (Varsity, JV, and Modified), Tennis(Varsity only), Unified Basketball, and Clay Shooting
Varsity and JV tryouts will begin Monday March 14th. Modified tryouts will begin Monday, March 21st. Unified Basketball & Clay Shooting start is TBD.
Please complete the Taconic Hills Jr./Sr. High Athletics Registration if your child is planning to tryout for one of the teams listed above. Parents must be the owner of the FamilyID account and complete the registration so that all medical information is accurate. The link below opens on February 14th. Again, students cannot register themselves.

Student-athletes must also have a current health physical (that is valid for the entire upcoming season) on file prior to the start of the season. Physicals are good for a period of 12 months and expire the last day of the month in which the physical was conducted. Student-athletes in need of an updated physical will need to either provide the nurse with a copy of a physical completed by their primary care provider. Please use the NYS health examination form attached.
Students in grades 7 & 8 are eligible for modified sports. However, any 7th or 8th grade student, interested in playing at the JV or Varsity level, must go through the Athletic Placement Process. This process is for the elite athlete. Please contact the Athletic Director asap for the necessary forms as this process takes time. Your son/daughter will need medical clearnance and an up to date physical before being allowed to test up. Fitness tests will be given the week of March 7th.
Typically practices will be 3 to 5pm Monday-Friday beginning on the start date mentionned above. There are exceptions and more specific information about the start of the season will be provided to you by the coach. Please note that final team assignments are at the discretion of the coach. If you would like to email them with any questions, the coaches email has been provided below:
