In following with Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone’s directive, putting the safety and well being of all, Section XI schools will not conduct practice for the next two weeks.

This will be evaluated on an ongoing basis.

Please be diligent in practicing all safety measures. Stay safe.

As the coronavirus progresses, in an effort to be prudent, Section XI will suspend all games and scrimmages until April 3.  As that date approaches ,we will reassess the situation utilizing updated information.

Each individual district can still make their own decision if they wish to conduct practices, however,  Section will not be allowing any games, scrimmages or combined practices to take place until after April 3.

The NYSPHSAA winter regional and state championships will be postponed indefinitely.  It is certainly understood that postponing the remaining winter state championships is disappointing, however the opportunity to participate in a NYSPHSAA championship event does not outweigh our responsibility and obligation to ensure students participate in a healthy and safe environment.

The impacted events include the NYSPHSAA Ice Hockey, Bowling, Boys and Girls Basketball Regional and State Championships.

NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas said “It was my goal to complete the winter championships on schedule.  It has become increasingly more difficult to host these championship events with the number of challenges that have been presented.  I also have concerns as the Executive Director of NYSPHSAA and a parent, that students will be participating in an event under circumstances that are not conducive to a quality and beneficial participation experience.”

As information becomes available NYSPHSAA will provide updates.

Brentwood’s “Athletes Helping Athletes” club has been a positive organization for the school. Look at this smiling faces all making the school community and culture better.

Mark your calendars for May 5!
