Athletics Placement Process

The Athletic Placement Process (APP) is a program for evaluating students who want to participate in sports at higher or lower levels, as approved by the state Board of Regents and aligned with the Commissioner of education’s regulations.

These standards state that students will have the necessary knowledge and skills to establish and maintain physical fitness, participate in physical activity, maintain personal health, and acquire both the knowledge and ability to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment.

View the Athletic Placement Process for Interschool Athletic Programs on the State Education Department website.
