PURPOSE OF MANUAL: This manual has been prepared to provide a better understanding of the administration of MSHSAA sponsored events. It will serve as a guide to the participating schools and will provide for greater consistency. All information will be included in this manual except such supplementary or incidental information as may be included in the MSHSAA Journal. The contents in this manual shall be considered official unless the schools are notified in a Special Bulletin of any changes. B. PHILOSOPHY OF INTERSCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES: Interscholastic activities are intended to supplement the secondary curricular program. These activities can provide the student with educational experiences and learning outcomes that contribute toward the development of good citizenship. This can be accomplished only when the emphasis is placed upon teaching "through school activities." Interscholastic activities can be justified only when this is its primary philosophy and purpose. C. PURPOSE OF DISTRICT AND STATE CONTESTS: There are two primary purposes that justify and cause district and state events to be desirable. Those purposes are: to provide opportunities to demonstrate before the public the best knowledge, skills and emotional patterns taught through a particular sport; and to evaluate and compare the best of this teaching of knowledge, skills and emotional patterns among schools. Unless these purposes are primary, district and state athletic contests cannot be completely justified. D. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: It is the desire of the MSHSAA Board of Directors that these events be both fun and educational. It is extremely important that players, coaches, and the school community make every effort to enhance -- and keep in proper perspective -- the educational values of these events. Competition merely for "competition's sake" cannot be justified. Only when competition contributes toward worthwhile educational goals can it be considered sufficiently important to be included in the school program. E. SUPERVISION OF PLAYERS AND FANS: The By-Laws of the MSHSAA hold a school responsible, both home and away, for the conduct of its players, students, coaches and fans. Coaches are required to supervise their competitors. A coach's respect for others and for school property is necessary in order to instill in competitors a respect for others and school property. Students staying overnight in hotels or motels in conjunction with any interscholastic athletic contest should be well-chaperoned. The good conduct of students will leave a good impression for the entire school. F. GAME OFFICIALS: A school also should inform its players, students, coaches, and fans of the value game officials play in education through athletics. When informing these people of this, the difference in the purpose of high school and professional sports should be emphasized. Lack of respect for officials should not be tolerated. Booing of officials leads to booing of coaches and competitors, and this has no place in high school athletics. The example set by coaches and others associated with high school sports goes a long way towards eliminating this problem. Athletic administrators are urged to develop a program through any and all communication techniques available to insure that spectators understand that high school athletics are an educational endeavor as opposed to the games being an end in themselves. Page 1 SECTION 3: REGULAR SEASON A. Coaches Conduct: The Missouri State High School Activities Association events are conducted to develop and maintain the highest possible participation standards among students. Interscholastic activities are designed to encourage not only exceptional performances, but also a respect for the activity and the discipline necessary to excel. In order for this to occur, students, coaches, and all participants and observers must continually maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct, integrity, and courtesy. Coaches must read and abide by the regulations contained in this Manual. It is also the responsibility of the coach to communicate this information to the students and expect that they will abide by these rules as well. All coaches at all levels must take the online rules review. All coaches at all levels (even volunteer coaches) must be approved and entered on the Coaches and Directors page for the school they are working. High School teams/Individuals may compete in 13 regular season meets. The school must schedule six (6) meets in order to be eligible to participate in the State series. Junior High School teams/Individuals may compete in 10 regular season meets. B. Sanctions: Anytime a MSHSAA-member school competes in a tournament, by definition, with an out-of-state school(s) or any event co-sponsored by any party other than a MSHSAA-member school (i.e., a university, theme park, shoe company, etc.), a sanction form must be on file in the MSHSAA office at least (30) thirty calendar days prior to the event. It is the event host’s responsibility to obtain the sanction; however, each participating MSHSAA member school shall take responsibility to verify that the sponsor has sanctioned the event prior to participation. (MSHSAA By-Law 311) In January the NFHS Board of Directors approved changes concerning sanctioning fees and timelines. Effective August 1, 2005, the sanctioning processing fee will increase to $100. The late fee for any application that arrives in the NFHS office 15-59 calendar days prior to the event will be $50 for the total of $150. The final list of actual entries will now be due in the NFHS office 20 days prior to the event. The new penalty fee for not forwarding the final list of actual entries prior to 20 days is $50. If the application arrives in the NFHS office less than 15 calendar days prior to the event, the late fee will
