Pioneer League

The Pioneer League, started by the New York Special Olympics, allows students to play in various sports against other local districts.

It is a great opportunity for our students to socialize with their peer group, work on team-building skills, stay physically fit, and represent the Yorktown Central School District. 

Athletes from Mildred E Strand Middle School and Yorktown High School participate in the NYS Special Olympics Pioneer League, which includes 15 teams in the region. The 3 seasons include Fall- Indoor Soccer, Winter- European Handball, and Spring- Basketball. 

Several of our students volunteer to facilitate this program, and our student body spirit group The Crop attends games in order to support and encourage our students.
