Honeoye Central School District

On 6/12/24, the BOE approved Dual Participation for the 2024-2025 school year. 

What is it?

Definition: According to the NYSPHSAA handbook, participation by a student in more than one sport in the same time-division (season) shall be determined by the Section V Athletic Council. 

This is found under Sport Standard #25 – REPRESENTATION in the NYSPHSAA Handbook. 

Student-athletes may be allowed to participate on more than one sport team during the same season if they meet the requirements of each sport program. Leagues will have the responsibility and authority to make rules governing participation in more than one sport during a sport season. Dual participation information will be reported to the Section V.

Here are some important highlights:

• Dual participation will be considered case-by-case, and a new request to participate must be completed EACH season
• Available to Varsity Athletes only (Grades 9-12). No APP students will be allowed to participate in the dual sports
• GPA requirement of 90% (scholar-athlete)
  • If the student-athlete begins failing, the athlete will be removed from dual participation.
• Primary and secondary sport must be designated.
• All practice requirements must be met for BOTH sports 
• Dual participation can be revoked at any time for violations of the HCS Code of Conduct and/or Athletics/Extracurricular Handbook.
• If interested in Dual participation, the athlete MUST come to the athletic director to request the possibility of participating, NOT the coach. The AD and student-athlete will then sit down and complete a request form together. 
• The Dual Participation Request Form and Agreement Form will come directly from the AD based on the dual participation process.
