Dear Families,
We are looking forward to the start of the new 2025-2026 Fall sports season, with tryouts and the official start of the season beginning in a month. NYS allows all seventh to twelfth grade students the opportunity to participate in school sports, and we are excited again this year to offer a variety of programs to choose from.
This Fall we are offering the following sports for your child to participate in:
Varsity Cheerleading
JV Cheerleading
Boys Varsity Soccer

For students in seventh or eighth grade interested in high school sports the APP process must be followed. The purpose of this statewide Advanced Placement Process fitness testing program is to determine the physical fitness of a seventh or eighth grade athlete when compared to older athletes who will be participating at the high school level. This fitness test, along with a special physical examination completed by the school medical director, will determine whether the appropriate physical development has evolved that equates to the similar levels of high school athletes. Passage of all required parts must occur in order to be eligible for a tryout and will help ensure the safety of their participation.
There will be a parent night on August 21 starting at 5:30 p.m. This will be your opportunity to meet the coaches, ask questions, and learn about expectations on being a Tonawanda athlete. If your child is interested in participating in the Fall sports season, please create a FinalForms account for them to register. The link is under our athletics page here: ATHLETICS | Tonawanda City School District
We hope to see your child participating this upcoming season. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you
have any questions.
Thank you,
Jared Northrup
