After nearly 135 years of playing an independent schedule, Wyoming Seminary&rsquo;s football program will be joining the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) for the 2020 season.
				The boys ice hockey team is also joining the NEPSAC.
				Sem will be a part of the newly formed NEPSAC Class A &#8211; Northeast Prep Football Conference, an 11-team conference that will remain as one unit through a two-year introductory period.
				Joining this conference gives Sem football an opportunity to compete in the postseason and vie for a conference championship as well as develop new rivalries. Student-athletes will have an opportunity to earn all-conference recognition and participate in offseason college combines.
				&ldquo;Joining the NEPSAC will enable both programs to continue to attract high quality student-athletes and establish competitive relationships with highly reputable academic and athletic institutions,&rdquo; Sem head football coach Jim Anderson said.
				Other NEPSAC Class A football programs are Phillips Academy Andover, Brunswick School, Cheshire Academy, Deerfield Academy, Phillips Exeter Academy, Hun School, Salisbury School, Suffield Academy, Williston-Northampton School and Worcester Academy.
				Each NEPSAC team will compete in seven games and also will play in two non-league games. Sem&rsquo;s non-league games will be against the Peddie School and Western Reserve Academy.
				Teams in the Class A league will be allowed a maximum of seven postgraduate players in 2020 and six postgraduates in 2021.
				While Sem&rsquo;s football team is a new addition to the NEPSAC, the Blue Knights boys prep ice hockey team was a NEPSAC associate member during the 2019-2020 season.
				&ldquo;The increase in strength of schedule, and year over year scheduling consistency for both programs will improve the quality of academic and athletic opportunities the student-athletes in both programs will have after their time at Sem,&rdquo; said Sem prep hockey team coach Dustin Good.
				Sem&rsquo;s boys ice hockey program already had New England prep school roots, regularly competing against NEPSAC member schools since the 1996-1997 season. Since 2004-2005, the team has participated in at least 174 competitions against NEPSAC member and associate member schools.
				&ldquo;The benefits Wyoming Seminary gains in being part of NEPSAC in football and ice hockey are too many to list,&rdquo; said Karen Klassner, Seminary&rsquo;s director of athletics. &ldquo;In my mind it will give Seminary an opportunity to have a schedule that in turn enables us to attract high caliber student athletes from all over the world.&rdquo;
