Athletic Placement Process (APP)
Athletic Placement Process for Grades 7-8 Student-Athletes
The Athletic Placement Process is a process for screening students to determine their readiness to compete in high school level interscholastic athletic competition by evaluating their physical maturity, fitness and skill. The student may be placed at the appropriate level of competition which should result in increased opportunity, a fairer competitive environment, reduced injury and greater personal satisfaction. The intent of this program is to provide for students in grades 7 through 12 to safely participate at an appropriate level of competition based upon readiness rather than age and grade. Students going out for modified teams DO NOT need to go through this process.
See the New York State Education Department's guidance on the Athletic Placement Process here.
Students must be recommended by the team’s coach in order to proceed through the Athletic Placement Process.
