Athletics Overview

The mission of Albertus Magnus Athletics is to develop future leaders who will foster integrity as well as spirit and sportsmanship through athletic participation. Our student athletes will embody the four Dominican Pillars of Prayer, Study, Community, and Service and apply them to the responsibilities both to their team and their school community.

Effective with the 2017-2018 school year, 8th graders who have competed at the high school level (freshman, JV and/or Varsity sport) at their previous school before coming to Albertus Magnus will be subject to the transfer rule as set forth by the New York State Public High School Athletics Association (NYSPHSAA). Paraphrased, the transfer rule states that any student in grades 8-12 who transfers without a corresponding change in residence to the Clarkstown Central School District shall not be eligible to participate in his/her sport at Albertus Magnus high school level for a period of 1 (one) year if he or she participated in that sport at the high school level at his/her previous school. Students would be automatically eligible for participation in a sport not previously played in season at the high school level.

All parents wishing to authorize their children to participate in sports will do so online after meeting the following requirements:

• All immunizations must be up to date, including the Meningitis vaccine for seniors.
• All Inhaler/Epi-pen self-carry orders must be up to date.
• Doctor's clearance notes must be obtained in the case of injury.
