Congratulations to the students who have earned a chance to represent your school at this event. Thank you to the coaches, parents and guardians who play an important role in supporting our talented young Nebraskans. A student’s involvement outside the classroom can build the character and discipline needed to succeed long after graduation. Providing extracurricular activities for Nebraska youth encourages the development of values such as hard work, creativity, and responsibility. The activities in the coming days will promote healthy competition among talented students in your field. As you challenge one another to do your best, I encourage you to enjoy this memorable time in your high school careers. Best wishes for a safe and exciting competition! -Pete Ricketts Governor of Nebraska High school activities: the other half of education. Participation in high school activities has many benefits for participants. Recent studies revealed that “athletes earned higher grades, graduated at a higher rate, dropped out of school less frequently, and scored higher on state assessments than did non-athletes.” Extracurricular activities stand out from other aspects of adolescents’ lives at school because they provide opportunities to “develop initiative and allow youth to learn emotional competencies and develop new social skills.” Other data shows that participation in organized activities during high school is positively associated with post-secondary educational attainment, voting, volunteering, and occupational factors. The NSAA staff and its member schools are pleased to be able to offer participation opportunities to over 125,000 Nebraska high school students in athletics and performing arts activities annually. Please join us in saluting the students participating in this Championship! The “future” competes here! -Dr. Jim Tenopir NSAA Executive Director “NSAA activities…the other half of education.” nsaahome.org 2016 Soccer | 1 2016 NSAA SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE MORRISON STADIUM, CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY, OMAHA, NEBRASKA Wednesday, May 11 NSAA STATE 9:00 AM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 1-SESSION 1 11:00 AM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 2-SESSION 1 SOCCER 1:00 PM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 3-SESSION 1 3:00 PM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 4-SESSION 1 CHAMPIONSHIPS 6:00 PM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 1-SESSION 2 8:00 PM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 2-SESSION 2 Thursday, May 12 MAY 11-14, 16-17, 2016 9:00 AM CLASS A BOYS GAME 1-SESSION 3 OMAHA 11:00 AM CLASS A BOYS GAME 2-SESSION 3 1:00 PM CLASS A BOYS GAME 3-SESSION 3 3:00 PM CLASS A BOYS GAME 4-SESSION 3 6:00 PM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 3-SESSION 4 8:00 PM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 4-SESSION 4 Friday, May 13 9:00 AM CLASS B BOYS GAME 1-SESSION 5 11:00 AM CLASS B BOYS GAME 2-SESSION 5 1:00 PM CLASS B BOYS GAME 3-SESSION 5 3:00 PM CLASS B BOYS GAME 4-SESSION 5 6:00 PM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 5-SESSION 6 8:00 PM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 6-SESSION 6 Saturday, May 14 9:00 AM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 5-SESSION 7 11:00 AM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 6-SESSION 7 1:00 PM CLASS A BOYS GAME 5-SESSION 7 3:00 PM CLASS A BOYS GAME 6-SESSION 7 6:00 PM CLASS B BOYS GAME 5-SESSION 8 8:00 PM CLASS B BOYS GAME 6-SESSION 8 Monday, May 16 5:00 PM CLASS B GIRLS GAME 7-SESSION 9 7:30 PM CLASS A GIRLS GAME 7-SESSION 9 Tuesday, May 17 5:00 PM CLASS B BOYS GAME 7-SESSION 10 7:30 PM CLASS A BOYS GAME 7-SESSION 10 Cover photos courtesy of Callam Sports Photography.
