Athletics

Students who choose to attend AITE still have the option to participate in high school athletics. Per CIAC rules, AITE is a school of choice and therefore anyone that wishes to participate in high school athletics must do so at their designated sending district. For example, if your school district is Stamford High School then you would play at Stamford High. If your school district is Norwalk High School, then you are required to go to Norwalk High School to participate in athletics.

How do I get there?

For Stamford based students needing transportation to their districted Stamford school for athletic participation there are two buses that leave AITE at regular dismissal time of 2:05 and have stops at Stamford High School (bus #182) and Westhill High School (bus #103) respectively with the first stop at the athletic facilities (arriving at approximately 2:20pm). Coaches are aware and understand that these students may be arriving late to practice and this will not have a negative impact on the student athlete.

For students districted outside of Stamford there are a variety of buses and transportation options to the train station for students to use, to get back to their sending districts for athletics. These leave at the regular dismissal time of 2:05.

Athletic Eligibility.

Athletic academic eligibility is determined by each sending school’s district. Student athletes are bound to their sending district’s policy. Check with the AITE school counseling department to find the eligibility standards that apply.

Registering to tryout/participate in athletics.

This varies from school to school and district to district. Please check your sending district’s athletics website for details on when, how and the rules for athletics registration.
