The Athletic Placement Process testing (A.P.P.) is required by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) and requires your child to successfully demonstrate skill in the following areas: 

• Push-ups or pull-ups
• Curl ups
• Flexibility
• Agility run
• 1-mile run

Please note that if your child has completed the A.P.P. test for a previous season and passed, they DO NOT need to test again, even if it was for a different sport.  Also, if your child is trying out for the golf or bowling teams, they do not need to pass the A.P.P. test.  

For additional information or questions, please refer to the A.P.P. fitness test information under “Additional Athletics Information” and/or contact your respective athletic department.

Varsity: Grades 7-12
The focus of our Varsity programs is to compete at the highest level to win league, section and New York State championships.  Practice and contests require a six day a week commitment with several options to train in the off-season. 

Junior Varsity: Grades 7-10
The Junior Varsity (JV) level continues to focus on skill development while competing to win contests.  A JV season will typically mirror the Varsity schedule with practice six days a week.

Modified: Grades 7-8
At the modified level the emphasis is on player development and skill development.  A modified team will typically practice every day after school and some weekends.

Unified: Grades 9-12
Inclusive sports, like unified basketball, combines athletes (players with intellectual disabilities) and partners (players without intellectual disabilities) to create athletic teams for training and competition.  Participation is rooted in the principle of meaningful involvement which ensures that every player is given an opportunity to contribute to the success of his or her team through their unique skills. Inclusive activity is among the most conducive ways to break down stereotypes and foster relationships.
