Coaches Information FALL 2024
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: FALL SPORTS AT MASHIMUET 9/4-9/6
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to unforeseen road construction, students who participate in sports at Mashashimuet Park will not be able to walk to games or practices for the next three days: Wednesday, September 4, Thursday, September 5, and Friday, September 6.
To ensure our athletes' safety and timely arrival, any student practicing or playing a game at Mashashimuet Park over the next three days will be transported there by bus after school. Students who are able to drive themselves are permitted to do so. However, please note that no other students are allowed to be passengers in their cars without explicit parental permission pre-approved by the administration. Below is the schedule for the bus to Mashashimuet Park for the next three days.

Please be aware that there will be no bus service returning to Pierson after practices or games at Mashashimuet Park. Parent pickup for these athletes should take place at the park. Teams with away games on these days will take their regularly scheduled bus, which departs from the high school gym parking lot. After construction is over, students will resume walking to the park like they always have done.
The following teams are expected to take the bus to Mashashimuet Park during this period:
-
Varsity Boys Soccer
-
JV Boys Soccer
-
JV Girls Soccer
-
Varsity Field Hockey
-
Varsity Girls Cross Country
-
Varsity Boys Cross-Country
-
JV Girls Tennis
-
Middle School Girls Tennis
-
Middle School Girls Field Hockey
-
Middle School Coed Cross-Country
*Please note that middle school practices do not begin until Thursday, September 5, so this will not impact those teams today. Today’s middle school fall sports meeting will proceed as originally scheduled at 3:00 PM.*
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Brian Tardif
TEAMS
Each year, the athletic department assesses whether Pierson has a sufficient number of interested students to field teams in various sports. When there are not enough Pierson students to organize a team, we ask other schools whether they have an interest in combining (allowing our students to play on their teams). Occasionally a school we have partnered with in the past, chooses to limit or eliminate their collaboration in specific sports. As a result of several such developments, the following teams are new Pierson/Bridgehampton combined teams hosted by Pierson:
- Girl's high school tennis (fall) will be a JV only team
- Girls high school soccer (fall) will be a JV only team
- Boys high school tennis (spring) will be a JV only team
- For girls tennis, boys tennis, and girls soccer, students will not have the opportunity to play on a varsity team for this coming school year.
- Girls high school lacrosse (spring) will still be combined with East Hampton for varsity, but the JV team will be hosted at Pierson.
The goal with all of these is for the programs to grow and be able to also host our own varsity teams in the coming years.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
