Winter 2018 APP

Dear Parent/Guardian of 7th and 8th Grade Students,

The Athletic Placement Process (APP) is a program for evaluating students who want to participate in sports at a higher level (Varsity/Junior Varsity/Frosh), allowing them to participate safely at an appropriate level of competition based upon physical and emotional readiness and athletic ability. Students do not mature at the same rate, and there can be tremendous developmental differences between students of the same age. The APP is aimed at the few, select students who can benefit from such placement because of their readiness. Our district medical director will take into consideration the height, weight, and tanner rating as compared to the other student/athletes that he or she would compete with as per NYSED regulations. This is done to ensure that the primary concern should be allowing an athlete to participate to the fullest level of his or her potential safety.

If your child is interested in going through the Winter 2018-2019 APP, please send an email to Chris Drosopoulos at cdrosopoulos@briarcliffschools.org. The deadline for submission is Friday, October 12, 2018 and will be strictly adhered to.

Sincerely,

Chris Drosopoulos

Director of Athletics
