Any unauthorized use of our logos is strictly prohibited. Any items bearing our logos should not be sold for profit. Use is strictly for Amity Regional School District #5 teams only.

Teams are allowed to manage their own gear sales. These sales should be reasonable to allow all members of the team to purchase something.

We have 5 approved vendors who have our logos and have been vetted as quality businesses to use. Please refrain from using vendors who have not been vetted or have permission to use our logos.

Please ask about the approved vendors and address any questions directly to the athletic department.

Banquets, Senior Gifts & Raffles

Banquets

Individual sport banquets are a way for a team to gather and celebrate a team or program's season. Banquets should not be mini "proms" and should be reasonable in cost. The cost should be reasonable to ensure all can attend.

There is to be NO alcohol served at ANY high school event, including banquets on or off campus

Banquets must be planned as to not interfere with students who participate in other sports. Sunday afternoons are almost always a great time as there is almost never high school sports at this time.

Senior Gifts

Senior gifts are meant to be momentos of an athlete's participation on a given team. They are not mandatory but can make for great long-term remembrances of their experience. They should not be gifts such as jewelry, headphones, gift certificates, or any other gift that does not carry long-term meaning and/or memories of their experience. The price should be within reason, $50.00 is an estimation.

Facilities Reservations

Athletic teams at Amity HS must request a room at the high school before any meeting, pasta party, or use of the building.

Procedures to reserve a room at AHS:

Select one parent to be the official requester of the facility. This person is the ONLY person who may request the facility. The official requester must register on FS Direct before requesting the facility.

Directions for Reserving

Request the facility at least 2 weeks before the event to ensure it will be available, approved, AND activated. There is a chain of people who must approve each request, thus the importance of reserving the facility well in advance of your event.
Double Check the event is on the facility calendar AND activated. If it is not, contact the facility department immediately.
