9/28/23- Wrestling Class Survey Issued for Member Schools
As authorized by the Board of Control through the Commissioner’s office, member schools are requested to respond to two surveys regarding wrestling weight classes for girls’ competitions. Bylaw 22, Sec. 5 of the KHSAA Bylaws requires the Association expressly to use NFHS playing rules in sports for which those rules are written and the KHSAA sponsors a championship. Therefore, the events cannot by rule be run in the manner that prior events were run, including the past events managed by KWCA, with a hybrid set of weight classes and the KHSAA must conform to NFHS rules. The survey must be received by the close of business on October 12, 2023.
SURVEY VOTE ONE
The first survey requests the Designated Representative (per Bylaw 1) of each wrestling school to select between 12, 13 and 14 weight classes. A preliminary survey in 2021 has 35 schools select 12 weight classes, 33 select 14 weight classes and 11 […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2023
A statement from the Commissioner’s Office:
This information issues football playing rules interpretations and approved administrative remedies proposed by the local assigning secretary involving a crew of seven football officials following a misapplication of the playing rules in the first regular season contest last week between Perry County Central and Somerset on August 18. This review over the last couple of days and action by the local assigning secretary will result in an adjustment to the schedule for at least one future contest and future playoff assignments for the local association involved.
The review of the Somerset official team video is clear and indisputable as to the actions on the final play of the contest.
- Somerset attempted a field goal with the ball snapped at approximately the five-yard line, with the score 22-21 in favor of Perry County Central.
- On the play, Perry Central blocked the attempt which […]
08/18/23- Offer EXTENDED for AED Pricing from CPR of Indiana
ORIGINALLY POSTED JUNE 8, 2023
OFFER EXTENDED THROUGH DECEMBER 1, 2023
A few years ago, CPR Institute of Indiana partnered with the NFHS and subsequently with the KHSAA to offer a huge discount on AED purchases to our schools. After months of working with that group throughout the discussions of HB331, they are again offering a special price specifically on the Phillips units that were so popular in our state. A copy of that information is attached by keeping in mind the offer is NOW GOOD THROUGH DECEMBER 1, 2023.
As many of you know, AED preparedness and training was a main point in HB331 that passed the General Assembly and was signed into law to go into effect on June 29. While AEDs being required at all athletic events and activities were only strongly recommended by the passage of the bill, and certainly remain strongly recommended by the Association, this would be an optimal […]
08/15/23 – Reminder about Shortened and Interrupted Football Games
As a new season begins and with the vast amount of turnover in athletic administrators and coaches, a reminder about the Competition Rules is in order for Football. Interrupted games are not new and have a defined procedure for football.
Within the football playing rules, in an emergency (such as inclement weather where advisories are placed against travel or to seek shelter), teams can mutually agree to shorten any remaining period or terminate the game at any point. If such termination is mutually agreed to, the game shall be recorded as the current score and the game cannot be replaced on the schedule.
Just a couple of reminders and probably the last sentence in the tournament rules is the main point to keep in mind, “All involved shall remember that this situation is caused by elements such as weather that are uncontrollable by anyone, and keep the discussions in that perspective.”
- Per the playing rules, there is […]

07/24/23 – Corresponding Calendar Reminders, Updates, References
At its most recent meeting, the Board of Control approved recommended changes to the Spring Corresponding Dates Calendar impacting Tennis, Track and Field, Softball and Baseball. Please understand that this communication will be more lengthy than normal to attempt to address any questions and concerns.
These changes were a result of significant membership feedback addressing the various issues around spring sports and the potential issues faced by the nearly 290 member schools and the association. This represents the first phase of an overall calendar review the Board has begun to start this school year with the second phase being discussed at later meetings to include issues around the integration of three additional championships (boys’ and girls’ lacrosse and boys’ volleyball) into the 2024-25 calendar.
Spring has always presented challenges around end-of-year activities including testing, graduations, recognition ceremonies and so many other schedule conflicts. While at some point, choices will have to be made by some […]
07/19/23 – Board Gives Final Approval to 2023-24 and 2024-25 Track & Field and Cross Country Alignment
As scheduled, the Board of Control yesterday gave final approval to the alignment of schools for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons for the sports of Track & Field and Cross Country. All schools are placed in the alignment, regardless of current participation levels to account for varying levels of participation. Following the sharing of the draft alignment in May, the Board shared that it would consider any geographic appeals and adopt the alignment in final form at its July meeting.
Also at that meeting, the Board approved a recommendation that the alignment duration is to be for two seasons, consistent with the football alignment discussion, and that the enrollments for 2022-23 and 2023-24 be used to realign the schools again during 2023-24 for the purpose of alignment for 2024-2025 through 2027-28. The enrollment for 2023-24 will be used twice in determining an average, as all indications are that enrollment numbers will stabilize post-pandemic to be […]
07/11/2023- Fall Sports Tryout Reminders
Good afternoon to all member schools. This message is intended for all member schools based on multiple inquiries received in the last few days. Please share this with all members of your fall sports coaching staff, and the coaches of Competitive Cheer and Dance. This post is not intended to be comprehensive regarding all aspects of Bylaw 23, but intended to highlight areas around tryouts.
References for this information come from the Bylaws of the Association, online as part of the KHSAA Handbook. There is not (and has never been) a separate tryout period for fall sports prior to the start of practice. Recently, we have been made aware that several schools have posted “tryouts” for fall sports that are being held prior to the first date of practice. This is not permitted.
SPORTS OF CROSS COUNTRY, FIELD HOCKEY, GOLF, SOCCER AND VOLLEYBALL
- Required activity (including tryouts) can begin for Cross Country, Field Hockey, […]
