The Athletic Advisory Council meets approximately five times per school year from 7:30 A.M. to 8:10 A.M. between October and June of each year. The focus of the council is to gather input from both internal and external sources to enhance the athletic program as a whole. Material is presented to the council, discussed, and then implemented if appropriate and deemed beneficial for the student-athletes in our program. The membership of this council is comprised of parents representing a multitude of sports, student-athletes, teachers, coaches, administrators, and board members.

The Athletic Placement Process (APP) is a program that permits exceptional 7th and 8th grade students to try out for a JV or Varsity sport, while still in Middle School.

In Byram Hills School District, 8th graders who pass the program can tryout for any HS Sport, while 7th graders may only tryout for non-contact sports. In addition, a middle school athlete may not take the roster spot of a HS athlete, with the exception of the Varsity Level.

The APP packet from NY State detailing the entire program can be found at the bottom of this page. In order to apply, parental signature is required to initiate, located on pg 19 of the packet.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What are the deadlines for applications?
   1. Winter season November 1, 2023.
   2. Spring season March 1, 2024.
   3. Fall Season 2024- June 1, 2024
2. Who do we submit the APP packet to?
   1. The middle school Assistant Athletic Director, Mr. Repa (Fall and Spring), or Mr. Christian (Winter)
3. Does APP require medical approval based on physical maturity?
   1. Yes. Once applications are in, each season we bring in the District Medical Director to evaluate the athletes to make sure it is safe for them to participate in HS Athletics.
4. What are the Fitness Test Requirements?
   1. They are different based on age, and sometimes sport, and are located at the end of the APP packet found below.
5. How many attempts at passing the Fitness Test does my child get?
   1. Byram Hills will provide one fitness testing day, and one make-up date. You may use both attempts to pass, but if you miss for any reason, you lose that opportunity.
6. My child is entering 9th grade in the Fall, do I need to apply for APP for the Fall season?
   1. No. APP is only for current middle school students who wish to play "up" at the JV or Varsity Level.
7. My child is entering 7th grade and they are an exceptional athlete, can they apply for the APP?
   1. Depends. If you child wants to play a non-contact sport (x-country, track, swimming, tennis golf etc.), then yes. If they want to play a contact sport (football, soccer, basketball, cheerleading etc.) then no.
8. My child is entering 7th grade and cannot attempt the APP because they play a contact sport. Is there any other way to play for the school?
   1. Yes. Most middle school students participate in Modified Sports, which is our 7th and 8th grade athletic program.
9. Are all Modified Sports open to 7th grade?
   1. No. Usually they are, but in circumstances where there is an overwhelming sign-up of 8th graders, we would be unable to open a sport up to the 7th grade.

Any additional questions should be directed to the middle school Assistant Athletic Director, Mr. Repa (Fall and Spring), or Mr. Christian (Winter)
