**7th or 8th grade student-athletes wishing to try out for JV or Varsity sports must complete the Athletic Placement Process. Please note, this program is designed for the exceptional athlete, and the specific talent and physical maturity required will be well above the level of average athletes of a similar age.  A student must meet this criteria, along with a recommendation from the coach, to be considered for this process. The deadline to turn in paperwork for the APP for fall sports is August 13, 2021. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the athletic director, Jon Matt, '02 at jmatt@mcquaid.org.
