Definition of Terms

• Contest types are defined by NYSPHAA as follows
• League a group of schools, preferably of
  similar size and location, who join together for
  the purpose of administering athletic competition
  and other educational opportunities.
• Non-League Each teams season is a combination
  of league and non-league games. A maximum number
  of total contests that each team may compete in
  per season is established. This number varies by
  sport. The non-league portion of the schedule
  represents the number of contests scheduled
  against teams that are not members of the same
  league.
• Sectional Classification games or meets
  conducted at the conclusion of the regular season
  schedule for the purpose of determining sectional
  champions.

3
Schedules

• A team is allowed to play a maximum number of
  games per regular season (not including sectional
  games)
• League contests non-league contests regular
  season schedule
• We are reviewing changing the league portion of
  our schedule. Our non-leagues and sectional
  opponents will remain the same.

4
Current Affiliation

• HF-L is currently a member of the Livingston
  County League, and an Associate Member of the
  Monroe County League. Due to a lack of
  sponsorship in the Livingston County League, the
  following teams compete in the Monroe County
  League
• Boys Lacrosse
• Girls Lacrosse
• Girls Tennis
• Alpine Skiing
• Nordic Skiing
• All of our Modified A teams

5
Quick Facts about the Monroe County League

• The Monroe County League is divided into 3
  divisions - the same as the Livingston County
  League.
• HF-L would be placed in Division 3 , the smallest
  of the divisions.

6
What schools would we compete against in the
Monroe County league?

• Batavia
• Brighton
• Eastridge
• Pittsford Sutherland
• Pittsford Mendon
• Victor

• Cross-Country events are held with all Monroe
  County Teams, much like LCAA, but times are

What benefits would our student athletes see by
changing leagues?

• Compete against schools closer in size, location
  and sectional classification
• Changing leagues would reduce travel costs, and
  more importantly, the time associated with
  transporting student athletes to away games,
  leaving our students with more time to spend on
  academics and other interests they wish to pursue.

13
What benefits would our student athletes lose by
changing leagues?

• Boys and Girls Soccer teams would play 16 games
  per season, two games less than the current
  season
• Modified sports seasons would be reduced from 4
  to 3
• Male students who participate in both wrestling
  and basketball at the modified level would have
  to choose one or the other, because both are
  offered in the same season (currently there are
  no students affected by this)
• Cheerleading teams would not travel to away games
  - Monroe County League rule
