Athletic Placement Process

Parental Permission  - Email head coach for access to permission form.

If the student meets all the requirements, he/she will be eligible to TRYOUT for his/her particular sport. If a student does not meet one or more of the performance standards, he/she will not be able to try out.

Medical Assessment - School Physician permission form 

For questions/concerns about the process please contact Athletic Trainer Samantha Hill - shill@bscsd.org

Administrator Approval – the athletic administrator should confirm that the student is suitable for consideration. This includes the likelihood of 50% playing time, academic performance at or above grade level and emotional readiness. 

Medical Approval - Turn in a current physical or verify current physical is on file with the nurse’s office. Students will only be able to continue in the process if he/she meets the maturation requirement. Verification of maturation is determined by our school medical director. 

Fitness Testing - Students will complete physical fitness testing. Coaches will submit a list of athletes to be tested.  The ONLY athletes tested will be those who have completed the necessary paperwork and met each of the previous requirements (permission form, administrative approval, medical approval with required maturation documentation, and coach’s recommendation).  
Failure to complete any steps will end the process.
