OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 4080 Roselea Place, Columbus, OH 43214 Phone: (614) 267-2502; Fax: (614) 267-1677; OHSAA.org Hours: Monday — Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 1 OHSAA Mission Statement To serve our member schools and enrich interscholastic opportunities for students. The OHSAA Believes That . • Participation in interscholastic athletics programs is a privilege, not a right. • Participation in interscholastic athletics programs complements a student’s school experience and teaches lifelong lessons of hard work, teamwork and self-discipline. • Participation in interscholastic athletics programs promotes citizenship and sporting behavior, instills a sense of community and promotes a lifetime appreciation for sports and healthy lifestyles. • All students, regardless of ethnicity, race or gender, should have an equal opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics programs. • Sporting and ethical behavior are expectations in interscholastic athletics by all participants, coaches, administrators, officials and spectators. • Coaches, administrators and contest officials should serve as positive role models who are critical to a student’s development and success. • In order to minimize health and safety risks and maintain ethical standards, it is mandatory that interscholastic athletics participants are free from use of anabolic steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. • All rules, regulations and facilities for and supervision of interscholastic athletics programs should ensure maximum protection of the health, safety and well-being of each participant. • Limitations should be placed upon the length of sport seasons and the number of interscholastic contests played by participants. • Students should engage in a well-rounded experience that encourages participation in a multitude of extracurricular activities. • All attempts should be made to accommodate students with disabilities in interscholastic athletics programs. • Compliance with all school, OHSAA and state regulations along with contest playing rules is essential for everyone involved in interscholastic athletics programs. • Student academic achievement and success take priority over athletics achievement and success. • The success of a team is more important than individual awards. • Interscholastic athletics programs exist to prepare students for the next level of life, not the next level of sports. • Participation in interscholastic athletics programs can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and create memories that will last forever. The OHSAA Is Committed To . • Establishing and regulating regular season and tournament standards in order for competition to be fair and equitable. • Administering exceptional interscholastic athletics tournaments. • Promoting that interscholastic athletics participation complements a student’s educational experience. • Providing unparalleled leadership and customer service to our various constituents that is objective, responsive and inclusive. • Providing rulings that are swift, fair, consistent and impartial. • Operating with openness and demonstrating fiscal accountability. • Honoring our tradition of excellence, which has served our member schools for the past 100-plus years. • Honoring our ultimate purpose, which is to promote lifetime values, good citizenship, academic success, ethics and fair play in safe and sporting environments. 2 3 About The OHSAA Now in its 115th year, the Ohio High School Athletic Association is a non-profit service organization that regulates and administers interscholastic competition in a fair, consistent and impartial manner. This means the OHSAA ensures that everyone has a chance to compete on an even playing field. Approximately 817 high schools and nearly 750 7th-8th grade schools belong to the OHSAA, which represents over 350,000 students competing in 26 sanctioned sports (13 for boys and 13 for girls). Schools voluntarily become members of the OHSAA. Each member school has an equal voice in determining the bylaws and constitution of the OHSAA. Regardless of the size of the school or whether the school is public or non-public, each member school has one vote. When a school becomes a member of the OHSAA, it agrees to follows the regulations as approved by the membership. The OHSAA Board of Directors is charged with employing the administrative and support staff; determining contest rules and regulations; organizing a series of statewide tournaments, and establishing an appeals process for rulings that are made by the executive director or his staff. Board representatives are members of the teaching profession, are employed full-time by a member school and are elected to their positions. The OHSAA executive director and the staff are charged with enforcing the regulations and promoting the purpose of interscholastic athletics. Among their duties are to answer questions from the member schools and make interpretations on the regulations; prepare for and conduct tournaments; serve as an educator by conducting meetings, clinics and workshops for officials, coaches, administrators and student-athletes, and manage the fiscal affairs of the association. There currently are 19 staff members employed by the OHSAA, with the office located in Columbus. The OHSAA is organized into six geographic regions called athletic districts. Each nine-member District Athletic Board assists the OHSAA in conducting sectional and district tournaments. The

  • AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport
    Appendix B — Minimum baseline of standards for Level A, B, C activities for high performance/professional sport 1 THE AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF SPORT (AIS) FRAMEWORK FOR REBOOTING SPORT IN A COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY May 2020 The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment — Executive Summary 2 INTRODUCTION Sport makes an important contribution to the physical, psychological and emotional well-being of Australians. The economic contribution of sport is equivalent to 2–3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on communities globally, leading to significant restrictions on all sectors of society, including sport. Resumption of sport can significantly contribute to the re-establishment of normality in Australian society. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), in consultation with sport partners (National Institute Network (NIN) Directors, NIN Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), National Sporting Organisation (NSO) Presidents, NSO Performance Directors and NSO CMOs), has developed a framework to inform the resumption of sport. National Principles for Resumption of Sport were used as a guide in the development of ‘the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment’ (the AIS Framework); and based on current best evidence, and guidelines from the Australian Federal Government, extrapolated into the sporting context by specialists in sport and exercise medicine, infectious diseases and public health. The principles outlined in this document apply equally to high performance/professional level, community competitive and individual passive (non-contact) sport. The AIS Framework is a timely tool for ‘how’ reintroduction of sport activity will occur in a cautious and methodical manner, to optimise athlete and community safety.

  • Should Video Gaming Be a School Sport? Video Gaming Has Pro Teams, Star Players, and Millions of Fans
    DEBATE IT! We Write It, You Decide Should Video Gaming Be a School Sport? Video gaming has pro teams, star players, and millions of fans. But should it be considered a sport, like basketball or track? JANUARY 6, 2020 By Anna Starecheski & Kathy Wilmore Illustration by James Yamasaki Excitement builds as a huge crowd waits for the tournament to begin. The bleachers are filled with friends and family wearing school colors and holding signs. When the teams enter and take their places, the crowd goes wild, stomping their feet and shouting out the names of their favorite players. But this isn’t a varsity football or basketball game—and the players aren’t on a field or a court. They’re teams of students sitting in front of computer monitors, clicking mice and tapping away at keyboards. At a growing number of schools around the country, video gaming has become a varsity team sport. From 2018 to 2019, the number of schools participating in the High School Esports League grew from about 200 to more than 1,200. Video game competitions, known as esports (for electronic sports), are even bigger on the world stage. Nearly 100 million people around the globe watched the 2018 League of Legends World Championship finals. That’s about the same number of people as watched the 2018 Super Bowl. As esports have become more popular, some people are pushing for gaming to be considered a school sport. After all, they say, games like Fortnite, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and NBA 2K20 require skills and focus and can be intensely competitive.

  • NFHS Guidance for Opening up High School Athletics and Activities
    GUIDANCE FOR OPENING UP HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS AND ACTIVITIES National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) The COVID-19 pandemic presents state high school associations with a myriad of challenges. The NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) offers this document as guidance on how state associations can consider approaching the many components of “opening up” high school athletics and activities across the United States. The NFHS SMAC believes it is essential to the physical and mental well-being of high school students across the nation to return to physical activity and athletic competition. The NFHS SMAC recognizes that it is likely that ALL students will not be able to return to – and sustain – athletic activity at the same time in all schools, regions and states. There will also likely be variation in what sports and activities are allowed to be played and held. While we would typically have reservations regarding such inequities, the NFHS SMAC endorses the idea of returning students to school-based athletics and activities in any and all situations where it can be done safely. Since NFHS member state associations are a well-respected voice for health and safety issues, the NFHS SMAC strongly urges that these organizations engage with state and local health departments to develop policy regarding coordinated approaches for return to activity for high school, club and youth sports. The recommendations presented in this document are intended as ideas for state associations to consider with their respective SMACs and other stakeholders in designing return-to-activity guidelines that will be in accordance with state or local restrictions.
