NYSPHSAA - Athletic Placement Process

Important Note: The APP process is only for Middle School students who want to try out for a JV or Varsity Sport.  If interested, the athlete must first get a recommendation to tryout from a coach in the program.  

Once a recommendation is received you will need to register on family id for the sport you wish to try out for and the APP registration for that sport as well.

Only medical approval by the school district physician is required for Tanner Stage 1-5. If a student has been processed through the APP screening procedure and participated in the 7th grade, the process would not have to be repeated in the 8th grade as long as they remain at the same level of athletic competition in the same sport category.
