Athletic Placement Process

The Athletic Placement Process (APP) is a program for evaluating students who want to participate in sports at higher or lower levels.  The intent of the APP is to provide a protocol to allow students in grades 7 and 8 to move up; or for students in grades 9-12 to move down, allowing them to participate safely at an appropriate level of competition based upon physical and emotional readiness and athletic ability rather than by age and grade.

Important Information:
The physical fitness testing area is open to only student-athletes being tested and coaches. Student-athletes need to bring fitness clothing (sneakers, shorts, t-shirt). The test typically lasts for 1-1.5 hour(s). All student-athletes being tested must arrive on time. Student-athletes will need to be picked up at school at the conclusion of the test. Student-athletes need to be physically prepared and train to pass the fitness test.
