Section XI is part of a larger, statewide organization, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, Inc. This parent federation encompasses nearly all of the public school districts in the state, excluding New York City (which has its own athletic association). NYSPHSAA governs matters which affect athletics in the state and also supervises State Championship competition. New York State is divided into 11 geographical sections in order to allow for the varying needs of the different regions in the state. Suffolk County falls into the 11th section, hence the name Section XI.

The Section XI website is a great resource for the student-athlete and the Deer Park community to be able to access all the high school and modified (middle school) scheduling information, game times, schedules, and directions to contest sites. The website posts all the high school varsity league and division standings, tournament brackets and seeding formation. You can also find all the latest athletic achievements and exciting news that happen on the Section XI fields.
