If you want to catch exciting competition, you don't have to rely solely on what's on your television set. In fact, there's plenty of live action to see right here in the Farmingdale School District.

During the fall season, students from the high school and Weldon E. Howitt Middle School will engage in spirited competition against students from other Nassau County districts in such sports as football, soccer, volleyball and tennis. As always, all games and matches are open to the public, so district officials are encouraging residents to be sure to come out, show your support, and enjoy the excitement.

Here's a brief listing of some upcoming home games. For more information, please refer to the Farmingdale School District calendar.
