Why JD Sports Dominate CNY

When people search for “Jamesville Dewitt sports,” they aren’t just looking for a time—they are looking for a tradition.

The Red Rams have cemented themselves as a powerhouse in Section III Athletics. But what makes this program different?

1. The “Multi-Sport” Philosophy

Unlike some schools that force specialization early, JD encourages athletes to compete year-round. It is common to see a Varsity Lacrosse player dominating the Soccer pitch in the fall. This cross-training creates faster, more adaptable athletes.

2. The JD/CBA Alliance

In sports like Wrestling and Ice Hockey, Jamesville-DeWitt often combines forces with Christian Brothers Academy (CBA). This unique partnership allows both schools to field highly competitive teams that challenge the largest districts in the state.

3. A Coaching Legacy

From Hall of Fame inductees to former players returning to coach, the continuity on the sidelines is unmatched.

The Future: JDYAA Spotlight

You can’t talk about JD High School sports without mentioning where it all begins: the Jamesville DeWitt Youth Athletic Association (JDYAA).

While the high school teams get the headlines, the Saturday morning games at the middle school fields are where the next generation is forged.

• Top Program: The JDYAA Lacrosse program is widely considered a feeder system for one of the best high school lacrosse programs in the country.
• Community: It’s run entirely by local volunteers—parents, alumni, and fans.

Looking to Register? JDYAA registration usually opens seasonally. Check their portal for “Co-Ed Flag Football” in the Fall and “Little League” in the Spring.
