It has been particularly challenging to our member schools and the students they serve. The fact that we are enjoying this culminating event in the 2021 team wrestling sport season is a tribute to the school leaders, athletic directors and coaches who have “willed” this to happen. This event also serves as a tribute to the dedication, determination and resolve of the young people competing here today; as well as to all the high school athletes who have confronted the disappointments and frustrations of all that has engulfed them in recent months and have risen above every obstacle and adversity. Lastly, we must recognize and thank all the parents and fans who have “masked-up”, observed distancing and mitigating protocols in order to give kids, schools and coaches this chance to get back together, to compete in the sports and activities they love and have missed. Thank you to all who have contributed in both great and small ways, because it has taken all of us to bounce back this far. We have a way to go yet. But with your help and all of us continuing to work together, there can be hope! Sincerely, David J. Anderson Executive Director WIAA Provides Opportunities; Structure . The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) is a voluntary, unincorporated, and nonprofit organization. The Association membership has a diversified membership of public high schools, nonpublic high schools, public middle schools, and nonpublic middle schools. Its purpose is to organize, develop, direct and provide interscholastic athletics for member schools. ® There are 515 senior high schools affiliated with the WIAA. The estimated number of student-athletes in athletics is 80,000- 85,000 annually. Governance of the WIAA is performed by the member schools. Rules and policies of the Association are developed, promulgated and implemented by the membership either through membership vote for constitutional issues or through a membership-elected committee structure for sport seasons regulations. Therefore, ownership of the membership’s rules and regulations, as well as the responsibility of compliance with them, lies with each member school. The Development of Rules . As fans watch the games during the tournament, some wonder how the rules of the game and of the WIAA were created. ♦ The National Federation of State High School Associations is the authority of the competition rules for sport contests (i.e. uniforms, length of contest, game rules). As a member of the NFHS, the WIAA adheres to those rules as a member in good standing. The WIAA, as well as all state associations in the NFHS, has input with an advisory role in the review and promulgation of the playing rules. The NFHS office is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. ♦ For changes to the membership’s Constitution, Bylaws and Rules of Eligibility, a vote of the entire membership is required at the Annual Meeting each spring. The Constitution contains information relating to the Association as an organization. The Bylaws encompass information relating to member high schools’ responsibility concerning WIAA rules and regulations. The Rules of Eligibility embody information relating to the relationship of the student-athlete to the high school and the WIAA. ♦ The Board of Control has the ultimate authority in determining the outcome of sport seasons rule recommendations and regulations. Changes to the sport seasons regulations are advanced through the democratic committee structure. Among the advisory groups that provide input to the Board are the coaches advisory committees for each sport; the sports advisory committee, comprised of school athletic directors from each of the seven districts; the Advisory Council, consisting of school administrators from each elector district; and the executive staff. Other groups with advisory responsibilities include the Medical Advisory Committee, Sportsmanship Committee and the Officials Advisory Committee. The Season Regulations address, among other topics, definition of the sports seasons, participation, contest control and tournament procedures. Currently, the Association sponsors 24 sports including baseball, basketball, cross country, 8-player, 11-player football, golf, hockey, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball and wrestling for boys; and basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, hockey, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball for girls.
