8th Grade Athletic Placement Process (A.P.P.) Fitness Testing Dates

Katonah Lewisboro School District understands that students do not mature at the same rate and there can be tremendous developmental differences between student athletes of the same age.

Incoming 8th grade students interested in trying out for junior varsity or varsity teams must complete The Advance Placement Process (APP).

The APP is a program for evaluating students who want to participate in sports at a higher level. The purpose of APP is not to fill positions on teams, instead, it is aimed at the few, select students who can benefit so that the student may be placed at a level of competition that should result in increased opportunity, a fairer competitive environment, minimized risk and greater personal satisfaction.

As per Board of Education Resolution, only students in grade 8 are eligible for the APP.

Below are links with more information on the process. 

  • Parent/Guardians of interested student athletes should complete the attached APP forms to the Athletic Office.
  • APP Fitness Testing Dates:
    • testing is offered each November and June.

Looking forward to an exciting sports season!
