Section XI is deeply saddened about the loss of baseball coaching legend Bill Batewell. He passed away in January after battling cancer and COVID-19.
The former Sachem and Bellport coaching great is one of the winningest high school baseball coaches in New York history. He won 558 games, including 452 with Sachem.
His Sachem teams won county titles in 1987 and 1979 and he had numerous former student-athletes play professionally.
A memorial will be held this summer in his honor. More details to follow.
Teaching and modeling appropriate behavior is key in developing a positive environment for you and your students.
To help you serve as a role model to your students, fans, parents and community, the NFHS has developed Teaching and Modeling Behavior. This online course helps you to learn ways to teach and demonstrate appropriate behavior, as well as the value of sportsmanship. It gives you tips for how to deal with certain situations you will face before, during, and even after the season ends.
Throughout the course, there will be several examples that will test your students’ reactions to certain situations, as well as serving as a guide for you, as a coach, to be proactive when confronting inappropriate behaviors.
To learn more, take Teaching and Modeling Behavior, available now on the NFHS Learning Center.
It was great to see all fall sports out there with a full week of games and practices. Let’s do it again!
We had another great “Section XI Athletics For All” event this weel.
One Bellport student-athlete was overhead saying, “I just want to have fun with my friends.”
Well said. We want that too. Sports are fun and they help make lasting memories.
It’s been an exciting first week of fall sports getting underway across Section XI.
There have been so many great photos shared from schools, ADs and program social media accounts. Keep them coming!
March 9 is NYSPHSAA Officials Appreciation Day … but every day we appreciate our officials and their passion for scholastic athletics.
Say thanks in person, on social media or anyway you like on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! Use the #NYSPHSAAOfficialsDay.
