Cooperative Team Opportunities – School Year 2026–2027
Please note that the cooperative team opportunities listed below are proposed for the 2026–2027 school year and remain subject to the approval process of the CIAC. Program offerings may change at any time.
Coginchaug Regional High School serves as the host school for some cooperative programs, while other opportunities are hosted by neighboring school districts. For programs hosted by another school, the host district reserves the right to assess participation fees for Coginchaug student-athletes.
While Regional School District 13 recognizes and supports student participation in these cooperative opportunities, the district does not provide financial assistance to offset participation fees that may be charged by a host school.
Regional School District 13 also does not provide transportation for student-athletes participating in cooperative programs hosted by another school. Parents and guardians are responsible for providing transportation to and from all practices, contests, and team activities associated with these programs.
Cooperative & Collaborative Team Opportunities
The following athletic opportunities are recognized by Coginchaug Regional High School, but are hosted and administered by another school district through approved CIAC cooperative or collaborative team agreements.
Please note the following:
- Participation is contingent upon the availability of a host school and an approved CIAC cooperative or collaborative agreement. If a host school is not available, the program will not be offered.
- Participation fees may apply and are the responsibility of the student's family. Fees are established by the host school or cooperative agreement and are subject to change.
- Regional School District 13 does not provide transportation to or from practices, contests, or team activities. Families are responsible for all transportation.
- Payment of any required participation fee must be completed before the student-athlete is eligible to compete. Families needing a payment plan should contact the Coginchaug Athletic Department.
