Athletic Placement Process

The Athletic Placement Process (APP) is designed for the exceptional MS athlete. It is not intended to help schools fill out high school rosters.

Parents are cautioned that even though an athlete may be physically ready, it does not mean that he/she may be emotionally or socially ready to handle the normal stress of competition, or have the ability to mix with older athletes. Even though coaches set the stage for assimilation of younger students into the team structure, the younger athletes must be comfortable within this environment. Should this not be a natural adjustment, it is recommended that the athlete remain at the district's modified level or wait until high school.

A parent permission form is required. Both parents and athletes are asked to take the time to read the rules before signing.

The Process:

• The varsity coach only recommends an exceptional MS athlete..
• The parents/guardians sign the parental permission form and return to the athletic office.
• The athlete is medically cleared by medical director.
• The athlete is eligible to tryout.
