Athletic Awards

Athlete of the Week

Melissa Kaplan

Each week during the school year the athletic department, in conjunction with teachers and coaches, recognizes a varsity student-athlete who has displayed outstanding athletic achievement, strong personal character and has graciously represented the Mamaroneck Public School District. The individual selected appears on MHS Info for a brief presentation of his or her accomplishments, in addition to having their Athlete of the Week certificate displayed in the windows of the athletic office. Athletes of the Week also receive a framed certificate of their own and a voucher good for a complimentary sandwich and drink from the Fratelli Delicatessen.

League & Sectional Awards

All-League and All-Section awards are selected by coaching organizations associated with each individual sport as well as the local media outlets. Coaches nominate select players from his or her respective team and these nominations are then voted on by the coaching membership and select media representatives. These awards are provided by each individual coaching association.

It is important to understand that while "your" coach does have input in the awards selection process, he or she does not have the final decision about who does and does not receive recognition. Remember that like you, the student-athlete who strives to be the best, your coach is also striving to do their best.

Varsity Letter

The athlete must be in good standing at the season’s end (equipment, uniforms, etc.) and have met the criteria for participation to earn a varsity letter. Letters are provided by the school district.

Any varsity player who satisfactorily completes the season shall be granted a chenille varsity "M" letter. A student may receive only one varsity chenille letter, no matter how many varsity teams he or she participates.
- Pins - Athletes will receive a sports pin for each successive varsity season completed. Captains and managers will receive appropriate pins.
- Certificates - Issued to any varsity player in lieu of a second varsity letter.
Athletes unable to complete a season due to injury, illness or other such circumstances may earn a letter if the coach feels a letter is justified. Otherwise, athletes must finish the season to be eligible for an award.
Any student with outstanding debts for equipment (lost or stolen) will not receive any awards until all debts are paid in full.
