Cheer / Dance State Championships Postponed Due to Weather
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBER SCHOOLS AND COMPETITIVE CHEER/DANCE PARTICIPATING TEAMS, SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATORS AND FANS
Due to the onset of the latest round of inclement weather overnight Thursday into Friday morning, and additional snow and ice expected, along with bitterly cold temperatures that will minimise snowmelt, the 2025-26 KHSAA State Competitive Cheer & Dance Championships have been postponed. With more than 100 Cheer squads and nearly 70 Dance squads headed to the state site in Winchester, the safety of participants, coaches, administrators, and parents remains the primary concern around this decision. A compelling factor in this decision is the more than significant number of squads that travel in school buses and vans from districts that have made the difficult decision to cancel classes on Friday to mitigate risk.
The postponed event is now tentatively rescheduled for January 9-11, 2026, at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester. Following final confirmation of logistical details, additional notifications, including […]

11/25/25- Football Schools Reminded to Submit Spring Practice Dates, Helmet Reconditioning
Helmet Reconditioning
A reminder to all schools that the helmet reconditioners always need to receive the equipment as soon as possible in order to have it back in time for spring practice.
Delays in sending the equipment off for reconditioning should not be a reason to delay spring practice if you send it well in advance.
Refer to the links available at https://khsaa.org/2025-26-naera-helmet-and-equipment-reconditioning-information/ for additional notes and clarifications.
Spring Practice Dates
Per KHSAA Bylaw 23, each school must submit its spring practice dates on or before December 15, 2025, for the spring 2026 practice period.
Each football school may conduct ten (10) spring practice periods of not more than two (2) hours in length and not more than one practice per day over ten (10) days during three consecutive calendar weeks, which shall be chosen by the school on or before December 15.

11/06/25- Additional Reminder about Weather Shortened and Interrupted Football Games
While no one (apparently even professionals) can ever accurately predict the weather, we are again sending this notice from September 5 about interrupted games just in case.
The only difference now is that we obviously have a hard deadline of this weekend to complete this round of playoffs.
RESCHEDULING GAMES
- If your game is rescheduled, it is critical that you submit a revised FB106 form with the new information.
- We will continue to manage all brackets and information within KHSAA360 (ArbiterSports) and our bracket system once you complete the form.
- DO NOT CHANGE the information on your own KHSAA360 (ArbiterSports page) as it is important to keep all versions of the schedule and brackets in sync.
INTERRUPTED GAMES
Interrupted games are not a new phenomenon and have a well-defined procedure in football, which has remained unchanged for several years. The only items mentioned in this summary are those relevant to the […]
