[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th graders are allowed to try-out for the fall sports- Freshman Football, Cross
Country, Volleyball and Field Hockey. In the Spring, 8th graders are allowed to try out for Softball, Baseball, Boys Lacrosse, Girls
Lacrosse, and Crew.
These sports are offered to 8th graders because they are not offered at the middle school level, and the Virginia High School League allows 8th graders to participate on the JV level without affecting their high
school eligibility.

This is not just Arlington. [/quote]

^^This with one clarification.  If the 8th grader participates in a Varsity sport like tennis (there is no JV tennis in FCPS or APS), he/she only has three years of eligibility when he/she enters high school for that particular sport.

When my DD was an 8th grader at Cooper MS, she wanted to play Varsity tennis for Langley HS.  I looked into this, and it was confirmed by the AD of Langley HS that the rules allowed it because there was no tennis at Cooper MS.  DD got accepted to Sidwell so she didn't play at Langley.

Not just APS but FCPS as well.

APS middle school have tennis so 8th graders are not eligible for the HS tennis team. Eligibility is only for sports that are not offered in MS.[/quote]
