It has been a busy year for the Athletic Department at Adelphi Academy, but also specifically for the Academy’s Lower School student-athletes.
The fall featured a tennis program run by instructor Steven Carberry of Bay Ridge Sports Camp. The eight-week program was open to students in Pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade and focused on the fundamentals of the game.
“The program was a great success. My staff had a wonderful time working with the students,” Coach Carberry said. “It will now be an easier transition when it is time to join Adelphi’s Upper School tennis team.” read more

Rookie Division
Wizards 8 Jaguars 3
The Rookie Division championship game started out as a nail-biter, as the red-hot Jaguars stood toe to toe with the first-place, undefeated Wizards. The Jaguars wasted no time in scoring, as Antonio Gentile landed a perfect pass on the foot of Joe Rowdis, who blew it past the goaltender for a 1-0 lead.
The Wizards countered with a goal of their own when Chris Hutra received a pass from Tyler O’Leary and scored to tie the game at 1-1. The Jaguars scored next on another blast from Rowdis that was set up by Anthony D’Urso. The Wizards responded when Hutra scored with six minutes left in the period to tie the game at 2-2. read more

JV Division
Stingrays 3 Stars 1
Talk about saving the best for last! The DHAA JV Division championship game between the first-place Stars and second-place Stingrays went down to the wire and drew more than 100 people.
The game was a defensive battle as both teams struggled to score until 12 minutes into the first period. The Stars started Michael Barbati in goal and he was simply amazing, making some difficult saves early on. Richard Fodera, John Pluchino, Lennon Tomaselli and Nikolas Angilletta played spectacular on defense for the Stars. The Stingrays started goaltender Anthony Scarpaci, who arguably played the game of his life. His fellow defenders Marisa Sparacio and Bobby Ioannou seemed to break up every scoring opportunity the Stars created in their zone. read more
