Lake George participates in the New York State Education Department-approved “Athletic Placement Process”. The program is a process of screening students to determine their readiness to compete in education-based athletic competition. The intent of this program is to provide the opportunity for exceptional athletes in 7th and 8th grade to participate on Junior Varsity or perhaps even Varsity Teams. This program is designed for athletes who would be best served competing on a higher-level team than age and/or grade might indicate.
The program is not to be used to fill positions on teams with low numbers, provide additional experience, or provide a place for junior high students when no modified program is offered.
The requirements that must be met BEFORE an athlete is classified and may try out for a team:
1. Administrative approval. Invitation by School District Athletic Director
2. Parental permission – signed and returned.
For additional information please refer to the NYSED document: Athletic Placement Process for Interscholastic Athletic Programs.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Kyle Manny, Athletic Director
