Athletics
Hudson Falls Central School District’s athletic program offers extensive opportunities for male and female student-athletes – nearly 25 sports across all three seasons. Our program is governed by the rules and regulations of the NYS Dept. of Education, NYS Public High School Athletic Association and the Foothills Council.
Our athletes are expected to respect their opponents, maintain self-control and always respect the decision of game officials. The athletic code of conduct stresses that participation is a privilege, not a right.
Participation in school sports teaches students some of life’s most valuable lessons. We are proud to foster traits such as giving your personal best for the team and showing sportsmanship in the face of both victory and defeat. Opportunities within our interscholastic athletics allow students to exhibit character traits such as responsibility, leadership, respect, loyalty, health and wellness, and good citizenship.
Fitness and wellness are high priorities for the Hudson Falls Central School District. Consequently, district facilities include a fitness center in the High School, an all-weather track complex open to the public 24 hours per day, as well as a swimming pool, tennis courts, and numerous gymnasiums and playing fields.

The Dominic Murray Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act is a new law as of July 1, 2022. This law requires schools, students, and parents/guardians to have information on sudden cardiac arrest risks, signs, and symptoms. Please note that sudden cardiac arrest in children and youth is rare. The incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) on the playing field is 0.61 in 100,000.1
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is an emergency that happens when the heart suddenly stops working. SCA can cause death if not treated immediately, and even with treatment death may occur. Immediate treatment is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED). All public schools must have a staff member trained in the use of CPR and AED in school and at all school athletic events.
Preventing SCA before it happens is the best way to save a life1. Both your family health history and your child’s personal history must be told to healthcare providers to help them know if your child is at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Ask your child if they are having any of the symptoms listed below and tell a healthcare provider. Know your family history and tell a healthcare provider of any of these risk factors:
- Fainting or seizure, especially during or right after exercise or with excitement or startled
- Racing heart, palpitations, or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or extreme fatigue with exercise
- Chest pain or discomfort with exercise
- Excessive shortness of breath during exercise
- Excessive, unexpected fatigue during or after exercise
Student’s personal risk factors are:
- Use of diet pills, performance-enhancing supplements, energy drinks, or drugs such as cocaine, inhalants, or “recreational” drugs.2
- Elevated blood pressure or cholesterol
- History of health care provider ordered test(s) for heart related issues
Student’s family history risk factors are:
- Family history of known heart abnormalities or sudden death before 50 years of age
- Family members with unexplained fainting, seizures, drowning, near drowning or car accidents before 50 years of age
- Structural heart abnormality, repaired or unrepaired
Any relative diagnosed with the following conditions:
- Enlarged Heart/ Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy/Dilated
- Cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
- Heart rhythm problems, long or short QT interval
- Brugada Syndrome
- Catecholaminergic Ventricular Tachycardia
- Marfan Syndrome- aortic rupture
- Heart attack at 50 years or younger
- Pacemaker or implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD)

SCA in students at risk can be triggered by athletic activities. To decrease any chance of SCA in a student, the Interval Health History for Athletics must be completed and signed by a parent/guardian before each sports season unless a physical examination has been conducted within 30 days before the start of the season. This form has questions to help identify changes since the last physical examination or health history was completed. School personnel may require a student with health or history changes to see a healthcare provider before participating in athletics.
Finally, the law requires any student who has signs and symptoms of pending SCA be removed from athletic activity until seen by a physician. The physician must provide written clearance to the school for the student to be able to return to athletics.
Please contact the State Education Department’s Office of Student Support Services for questions at studentsupportservices@nysed.gov or 518-486-6090.

The purpose of our Booster Club is to support and service the Hudson Falls Interscholastic Athletic programs. We raise money for all Hudson Falls sports teams through our 50/50 Club and the Anthony Luciano Track Invitational concession stand sales. The club uses this money to support teams in a variety of ways:
The Tiger Trackers provide Foothill’s plaques for all First-Team All-Star recipients.
Championship jackets are purchased through the Tiger Trackers for outstanding achievement by teams and/or individuals.
The Senior Awards Dinner, honoring all graduating athletes, is sponsored annually by the Tiger Trackers. Each senior athlete receives a personalized plaque recognizing his/her high school athletic accomplishments, and the Tiger Trackers also sponsor several special awards that are presented at the banquet. All dinners for the senior athletes and coaches are paid for by the club.
The Tiger Trackers have purchased two commercial size coolers and a commercial warmer for the concession stand, a Tiger mascot costume, scoreboards, and four water bottle filling stations, and other equipment for the athletes and spectators.
We also contribute to the annual homecoming activities, the junior prom after-party and we handle the concession stand at the Anthony Luciano Invitational Track meet in April.
For information on the booster club and its events please contact Hayley Girard.
