PROGRAM OVERVIEWWe would like to welcome you to the Simsbury High School Athletic Department web page, which has been created to help provide you with information regarding our program and to answer any questions you might have. It is important to know that we encourage all students at the high school to participate in our interscholastic program. We believe that the opportunity for participation in a wide variety of student-selected activities is a vital part of a student's total educational experience. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, and fair play are all integral parts of the athletic experience. Participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the school, to the sport, and to the students themselves. These experiences contribute to the development of the well-rounded individual allowing them to maximize their potential for success. Selection of team members is subject to the discretion of the coaching staff. Obviously, time, space, facilities, equipment, coaching preference, and other factors will place limitations on maximum team size. While every attempt will be made to involve as many student athletes as possible, the number of interested students may exceed our ability to safely and effectively accommodate them; therefore, a selection process may be necessary. Student-athletes are encouraged to refer to the coach for the selection process of a particular sport and for levels of participation in that sport. While the high school athletic program serves as an arena for the student-athlete to display his/her talent, student athletes must in turn be willing to assume certain responsibilities. These responsibilities are listed in the student handbook.
