th or 8th grade students interested in trying out for a JV or Varsity sport during the 2026-2027 school year.

Participation at the high school level requires successful completion of the New York State Athletic Placement Process (APP).

The APP is a state-mandated evaluation process designed to determine whether a student-athlete is physically, emotionally, and athletically prepared to compete safely at a higher level of competition. It is important to remember that the APP is not intended to fill roster spots, provide a new athletic experience, or serve as an alternative when a modified program is unavailable. The purpose of the APP is to identify student-athletes who have demonstrated the readiness to compete at the junior varsity or varsity level while maintaining the safety and integrity of interscholastic athletics.

Families interested in pursuing APP should review the eligibility requirements, complete all necessary paperwork, and register through FinalForms prior to testing.

Summer APP Testing Dates:
• August 4 | 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM
• August 13 | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Locations:
All-High Stadium & Bennett High School
