Media Info-Tee Times/Leaderboards/Results9/20/24- REMINDER- KHSAA/ArbiterSports to Conduct IN-PERSON KHSAA360/ArbiterSports Training Meetings
As was finalized during the recently concluded Regional Meetings, and at the request of the membership, the KHSAA will conduct two IN-PERSON training meetings around the KHSAA360/ArbiterSports platform. We are pleased that not only will members of our staff be present, but we will also have representatives from the development and support team at Arbiter there to work both collectively and individually with many of our members.
As we begin to wrap up the fall season and head into the winter season, this will be a productive time to get the latest information, offer and discuss constructive feedback, and continue to work together during this transition.
These will be conducted in person on:
- Tuesday morning, October 15 at 8:00 a.m. Central Time at the Knicely Conference Center on the campus of Western Kentucky University, 2355 Nashville Rd, Bowling Green, KY 42101 .

9/19/24- REMINDER- KHSAA to Again Conduct Title IX Education Meetings for All Schools
As was mentioned at the recently concluded Regional Meetings, the KHSAA will again conduct two Title IX Webinars for 2024-25 on October 3rd and 4th. These will be conducted via Zoom to afford the membership more opportunities to appear.
- The first will be on Thursday morning, October 3 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
- The second will be on Friday morning, October 4 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
THESE SEMINARS ARE NOT SOLELY FOR THOSE SCHOOLS WITH A FIELD AUDIT SCHEDULED IN 2024-2025.
This workshop should be extremely beneficial for all member schools as it will review the Title IX Education program that is conducted by the KHSAA as required by State Regulations. Since these meetings are being held as Zoom Webinars, attendees will be muted but can submit questions to the panelists via the Q&A feature of the webinars.

08/23/24- Additional Clarification and Guidance – WBGT and Fall Competitions
The KMA Sports Medicine Committee held a special meeting on Wednesday, August 21st to review the final pieces of the transition to Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) from the Heat Index as the measurement for when activity should be altered.
While we have thus far been blessed with an abundance of cool days this fall, we know it is still August, and competitions present challenges slightly different than practices as go forward. This has been under near constant review and discussion using the other states (particularly Georgia) that have several years of WBGT experience.
With the full implementation of the Wet Bulb Globe, many schools and officials associations have asked for additional guidance. With those requests in mind, the Sports Medicine Committee considered and recommended approval on specific measurements around competition that may slightly vary from practices. Please be mindful that the data from the Korey Stringer Institute (KSI) and collaboration with our Sports Medicine […]

08/16/2024- KHSAA School Directory Available via ArbiterLive
As the ongoing transition to ArbiterSports for KHSAA data management continues, the KHSAA member school directory and information page should be considered the authentic source for up-to-date information about KHSAA member schools: https://ly.khsaa.org/q2ma Data shown by this report is managed by each individual school, including coaching staffs and rosters. The data mirrors the ArbiterLive page of each school, and inquiries regarding content should be directed to the member school. All data can be found on the ArbiterSports mobile app, available on both the App Store for iOS users and the Google Play Store for Android users. Scores and statistics of KHSAA varsity team sports (baseball, basketball, field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer, softball, volleyball) can still be found on the KHSAA/Riherds Scoreboard.
