Who is eligible for the Athletic Placement Process?
The APP is not to be used to fill positions on teams, provide additional experience, provide an opportunity for middle school students when no modified program is offered, or to reward a student. The APP is “aimed at the few, select students who can benefit from such placement because of their level of readiness”. The process is open to students in the 7th & 8th grades in FMS and are eligible to participate in the APP process to compete at the HS level.  

7th Grade - may be elevated to JV
8th Grade - may be elevated to JV or Varsity

How do I start the process?
The APP process begins with a recommendation from a staff member including PE teacher or Coach:
Step 1 - Student must be recommended by a staff member
Step 2 - APP packet must be obtained from the Health Office
Step 3 - Parent Permission slip returned to Health Office
Step 4 - Physical complete with adequate maturity scores
Step 5 - APP Fitness Testing

Modified Fall Sports
Modified sports are open to all 7th & 8th grade students.  
All coaching assignments and preseason meetings have not been set yet. Many meetings may be held when we return in the Fall.
Please make sure you register on FamilyID when it opens August 16th.  If you are not sure which sport your child wants to play, it is OK, just pick one and we can always change sports if needed.
Please understand that if a program has too many students interested in playing, the roster may have to be cut down to be more manageable for safety and quality of play.
