Our athletic programs will be properly organized, administered, and conducted, to provide opportunities for students to participate in athletic activities which ensure the health and safety of the athletes and spectators, promote growth and development, teach social and recreational skills, and develop leadership qualities. These values are more rapidly attained when the program is founded upon the highest standards and ethical practices developed and adhered to by all member schools. This handbook sets forth the policies and practices for participation in Section One post-season competition. It is designed to inform and update all coaches, athletic directors, principals and superintendents of the procedures set forth by the NYSPHSAA and the National Federation. These procedures and policies apply to all schools participating in post-season competition beginning with Sectional play and continuing through the State Tournament. Although dates may change from year to year, most information will remain constant. -1- _________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Section One SOFTBALL HANDBOOK Table of Contents Section One Regulations Page No. Calendar 2014………………………………………………….

A school may not request to move up in class just for sectional competition. In the event of two-year realignment or longer, a school forced to move up or down in classification as a result of a change in BEDS enrollment will not be penalized. Their school’s winning percentage will be used to determine qualification for sectionals. 2014 SPORT CLASSIFICATIONS FOR SECTIONAL AND STATE PLAY This is the Classification structure for all sports as approved by the NYSPHSAA, Inc. and member Sections. If the enrollments for Classification are adjusted in the NYSPHSAA, Inc., the placement enrollment figures will be adjusted to mirror the State Placement Parameters.
