About Niskayuna Athletics
Niskayuna competes as a Class A and/or AA school in Section 2 of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA). The Niskayuna Central School District believes that participation in athletics contributes to a well-rounded education, supports students’ classroom success, and gives them skills and experiences that help them succeed in school and beyond.
Sports Teams
Niskayuna offers a variety of sports teams on different levels.
Athletics Participation Requirements
All students in grades 7-12 who desire to participate in interscholastic athletics must be cleared through the school nurse’s office. No student will be allowed to try out, practice, or participate with any team without proper information on file.
Athletics Placement Process and Modified Sports
The Athletic Placement Process was designed to address concerns and research about physical fitness and maturity in a comprehensive manner and help school districts ensure that students have the physiological maturity, physical fitness, and skill level in relation to other students at the desired level of competition.
Online Athletics Tickets Sales
Niskayuna Athletics is using the GoFan ticketing system for parents, students, and community members to attend certain athletic contests and events. This will help us control capacity restrictions and eliminate the exchange of cash.
Coaching in Niskayuna
Niskayuna Central School District welcomes certified and licensed coaches who are interested in working with our student-athletes through season-long, sport-specific coaching opportunities, through appointments made each year by the Board of Education following a recommendation from the Athletic Director.
