Participation In Athletics

APS Athletic Department middle school programs are voluntary, after-school programs. Students are required to meet the following requirements in order to participate in accordance with established APS and New Mexico Activities Association requirements:

Physical Form

Coaches are not permitted to allow a student to practice, play, or otherwise participate in the sport or activity until a completed APS Physical Form clearing a student to participate has been submitted to the coach and approved by the school athletic director.

Non-APS Physical Forms will no longer be accepted.
