We are pleased to present you with the 2010-2012 edition of the HANDBOOK of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, Inc. Clarification of, and changes in, the regulations and standards are indicated by shading. We encourage you to supply copies of the HANDBOOK to all your coaches. Knowing only the game rules of a sport is not enough to protect student eligibility. We also recommend again that rule reprints be made available at preseason meetings for athletes and their parents to ensure knowledge of the rules. We cannot emphasize enough that the rules and regulations in the HANDBOOK are your standards, developed as the result of your input. We ask your support in the partnership of enforcing these rules and regulations. Each of us must take that responsibility seriously. We know that by working together we can ensure that our students will experience equitable and safe athletic participation. The on-line NYSPHSAA Handbook will be updated at the conclusion of all Executive and Central Committee meetings. An additional resource to assist Athletic Administrators is the NYSAAA Handbook. 1 INDEX Administrative Staff .........................4 Middle School .......................99, 129 Age/Grade .....................................92 Mixed Competition .....47, 51, 81, 99 Amateur Rule ................................92 Modified Program .........99, 127, 138 Appeals ..........................................92 National Federation .....................178 Assumed Name .............................95 National Team/Olympic ........90, 100 Athletic Councils .....................34, 88 Non-Federation Member Sch. .....100 Awards ....................................28, 92 NYS Federation ...................100, 174 Bona Fide Students ...........38, 88, 95 Objectives .....................................27 Bylaws & Eligibility Standards ...92, 132 Officers .....................................5, 32 Central Committee .........6, 8, 31, 88 Officials’ Agreement ....................165 Championships ...................102, 106 Officiating .......................52, 94, 160 Chemical Health .........................158 Outside Agencies .........................100 Classification Numbers................182 Penalties ......................................101 Code of Ethics .............................126 Post Schedule Contest ...........90, 102 College Rule ..................................95 Post Season Contest ..............90, 102 Combining of Schools ...................95 Practice Sessions ............39, 102, 135 Commissioner’s Professional Try-Outs ..................103 Regulations ...........................37 Pupil Benefits Plan ......................168 Guidelines .............................50 Recommendations .........................28 Constitution ..................................29 Recruitment ..........................90, 103 Definitions ..............................38, 88 Representation ............................103 Duration of Competition ........46, 95 Sanctioning .............................97, 98 Executive Committee ................6, 33 Scrimmage/Practice Sessions..98, 110 First Aid ........................................48 Sections. ..................................34, 39 Foreign Students ...........................96 Section Directors/Secretaries .........22 Friends & Neighbors ...................100 Selection Classification ..................53 Health Examinations .....................97 Semesters .......................................91 History of NYSPHSAA .................24 Senior All-Stars ............................104 International Contests ...................97 Sport Committees ...........11, 35, 128 Interstate Contests .........................98 Sports Seasons .................50, 91, 106 Jewelry Rule ................................112 Sports Standards ..................110, 140 Junior High School ...............99, 127 Sportsmanship .............................104 Leagues .........................................39 Standing Committee .......................9 Life Of An Athlete.......................158 Thunder/Lightning Policy ...........112 Membership ..........................30, 181 Transfer Rule .........................91, 107 Member Schools ..........................183 Weight Control. ..........................124 The NYSPHSAA HANDBOOK may be purchased for $4.00. 2 CHANGES in REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS Conducting a Contest ............................................................................87 Overtime ...............................................................................................89 Foreign Students and International Students ..........................................95 Interschool Scrimmage ................................................... 97, 110-121, 132 Penalties ...............................................................................................100 Practice Session ............................................................................ 101-102 Representation .....................................................................................103 Senior All Star Contest .........................................................................103 Sportsmanship ............................................................................. 103-104 Number of Contests ...................................................... 108-109, 138-139 Scrimmage Limitations ................................................................ 108-109 Cross Country -
