Welcome to the Plainedge School District Athletics page – Home of the Red Devils!
We are excited to welcome you to the Athletics, Physical Education, and Health programs at the Plainedge School District. Our goal is to inspire and support students in developing a lifelong appreciation for physical activity, wellness, and healthy living. Through engaging physical education classes, competitive athletic opportunities, and comprehensive health education. We strive to empower students to reach their full potential, both inside and outside the classroom. Whether through team sports, fitness, or health awareness, we are dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive environment where every student can thrive.
Interscholastic athletics are an integral part of the educational process of the Plainedge School District. The Plainedge School District has a high participation rate in a well-rounded program of individual and team sports. Plainedge offers sports that include varsity, junior varsity, and modified programs for students in grades seven through twelve. Our teams and student-athletes have distinguished themselves with winning records and championships in the Section XIII, and New York State competitions. Many teams have been recognized for their combined grade-point average through the NYSPHSAA team Scholar-Athlete program.
