Loading...
Summary
District athletics staff reported three‑year growth in multiple programs — volleyball, girls wrestling, cheer, bowling and unified sports — and the board approved the item after the presentation; trustees expressed interest in creating more JV opportunities.
The Berlin Central School District’s athletics director reported rising participation in multiple sports during the April 21 board meeting and urged development of junior‑varsity opportunities where appropriate.
The director told trustees the three‑year participation charts show growth in volleyball at all levels and increased interest in modified programs, and highlighted gains in girls wrestling, cheer and bowling. Unified sports participation also increased, the director said, and he thanked the volunteer coaches supporting teams.
The director noted that some sports were split into two modified teams because of numbers and that the district would like to build out JV programs in coming seasons. Trustees asked clarifying questions about team structuring and numbers; the director said coaches evaluated roster size and competitive readiness when deciding team placements.
After the report the board moved to approve the athletics item (motion by Frank; second by Kim) and recorded affirmative votes from the members listed in the transcript.
