InterscholastiC athletics in, Hawaii has received different emphases In the course of itp.development since the early 1900 s."It.began'As a non-curricular activity, later unfolding into an extra- curricular activity and most recently into a curricular activity: io comitantly, the emphasis of interscholastic athletics shifted from meeting the recreational needs of the community, to an , extension of the physical education program, and finally to a distinct program s for the physically fit and. skilled sportiperson - a program that'addressess one . of the purposes outlined in the Master Plan for Public Education (1969)Andthe .State.Edueational Plan-(1980.- the acquisition of -the skills and attitudes that. .. ,contribute to the .physical well,beini of an individual. P .:. , With the recognition of ineerscholaatic athletics'as an integral part of the educationeWprOgram? the Department in 1970 developed AnInterscholastic4 - . Athletics Plan for the Seventies which attempted to provide not .only a philosophi. I. cat:ba-Se for athletics in education but to outline the administrative and operS7 tional arrangements' necessary to implement a viable program in all the public. high schools. , Although positive steps have been implemented to address many of the issues that were delineated in An.Interscholastic Athletics Plan for the Seventies, the 4 o /. FTogram continues to facecriticism and problems. Problems ranging from generalized statements about.the'lack of Department ofEducation control over athletics to charges of the over-zealousness of coaches have remained. Stillfurther,.the enactment of Title IX (Education Amendments of 1972) and 4 . other federal legislation such as.Section 504 of the. Rehabilitation Actof 1973 . have...intensified the need to review she interscholastiC athletics program and to . IltN.....e4; 13 address basic programmaticconcerns to resolve recurring'issues and to meet new -:_ demands. Definitionof Interscholastic Athletics: lnterscholgstic athletics is a, valiintary program forst udents-in grades 9 -12.' The.program provides opportunities for students with athletic skills and ta4ents to develop and use these abilities in organized competition with students of similar capabilities from other high schoOls.
