08/31/15 – Assistance Needed with School Broadcast Program
Good afternoon. During 2013-14, the KHSAA partnered with the NFHS to become a member of the NFHS Network. This network, powered by PlayOn Sports, is a joint venture of nearly 40 state high school associations to aggregate content from all states and across all sports.
The KHSAA contributed all of the video content from the state championship events last year to this network. The events are behind a paywall, with a subscription-based model that helps ensure that attendance isn’t harmed by technology. While many of us like to try “new things” and love getting our events out there, the cold, hard truth is that we can’t continue expanding in new ways that provide something for free, when there should, in fact, be a charge.
Part of the NFHS Network is the School Broadcast Program. This program allows the school itself to originate broadcasts on the network, using a minimal amount of equipment. Similar to the program that […]

08/27/15 – Triennial Survey Results Highlight Dance For Potential Future KHSAA Sponsorship
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 27, 2015
During Monday’s Board of Control meeting at the Owensboro Convention Center, KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett presented the results from the Association’s triennial survey of the membership, conducted earlier this summer, the results of which designated Dance as the one sport or sport-activity to receive enough interest to be considered for future adoption.
The Board directed staff to return at the November meeting with a report on the necessary steps for implementing a championship in Dance in the future, including a complete fiscal analysis of the impact to the KHSAA and all member schools and its impact on other programs, along with an update on the addition of Rifle Marksmanship, which was previously approved by the Board.
“It is so vitally important that our member schools have this regular opportunity to evaluate options for championship play and provide this input. With our emphasis on opportunities for ALL students, not simply […]
08/26/15 – Board of Control Reviews Classification and Triennial Survey Results; Approves Several Championship Sites
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 26, 2015
The KHSAA Board of Control conducted its first meeting of the 2015-16 school year on Monday at the Owensboro Convention Center. Among the many agenda items discussed, the Board executed a lengthy review of its current classification and alignment system for postseason play, and the ramifications of possible expansion of classification to other team sports. This review was requested by the Board after receiving a proposal concerning the classification of baseball and the format of all rounds of the postseason baseball tournament from Lawrence County High School during the 2014-15 school year. Following the receipt of the requested changes from Lawrence County, the Board requested information for a broader review of the issues in classification in the other team sports, not simply a review of baseball.
During the discussion and review, six major points were concluded when reviewing the situations from other states when compared to the current setup of championships: […]
08/25/15 – Initial Football, Soccer Statistical Leader Reports Available
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 25, 2015The weekly statistical leader reports for football and boys’ and girls’ soccer have been updated at KHSAA.org. Statistics are compiled weekly throughout the regular season and will be posted to the KHSAA website every Tuesday.
As a reminder, member schools are solely responsible for submitting statistical information. If a school or individual is omitted, or information is not updated, that means the team in question did not update its statistics through the KHSAA’s online system prior to the deadline.
Beginning last season, as contained in Bylaw 27, the requirements to enter and maintain rosters, schedules and statistics was enforced more rigorously by the KHSAA. This enforcement subjects member schools to penalties by the Commissioner, including fines and other actions, within the constraints of Bylaw 27.
The statistical leader reports can be found through the links below:

What is Middle School as used in these regulations and rules?
Middle School is defined by competition conducted between grades 6 through 8 to align with assessment parameters and divisions. It is considered to be middle school competition, and compliance with this regulation is required, if any of the following situations exist:
(a) The contest, event or tournament is sponsored by a school (or combined group of schools);

08/14/15 – Association to Sponsor Intense Voluntary Training For Newer Athletic Administrators
The KHSAA will conduct a training session for newer Athletic Directors on Wednesday, September 9, the day prior to the KHSAA Annual Meeting, from 1:00 to 4:45. The New Athletic Directors Institute will be held in Lexington at the KHSAA offices. This session will focus on the KHSAA Constitution, Bylaws and Tournament rules, with specific focus on the eligibility requirements, game contracts and other “traps” that young ADs or athletic administrators fall into due strictly to a lack of knowledge.
Staff will be available to help with data system needs, etc., but that is not the primary focus and won’t be an in-depth session or segment. This is intended to break down the Bylaws, explain fully rules and procedures, and help the new ADs during these first early weeks of the school year. We will include those key legal duties and risk management points that are needed, as well as very specific coverage of the eligibility […]

08/07/15 – Reminder about Bylaw 9 Allowances for Girls Basketball
The delegates to the KHSAA Annual Meeting in 2014 passed revisions to Bylaw 9 to codify the previous exception to the prohibition on girls’ basketball players participating in outside competition once the school year begins if they have been enrolled in grade 9 AND then subsequently played for a high school level team at any level. While the final regulatory approval is still pending, the Association will operate this fall as though the proposal is given final approval.
This exception for girls allows for players who are subject to the rule, after the first day of school for the high school, to attend only nonscholastic women’s basketball events held during weekend of September 25-27, 2015.
Administrators and Coaches should remind all participants who have previously been both enrolled in grade 9 AND who have played for a high school of this important restriction.

08/04/15 – An Open Note of Gratitude and Thanks
Good morning. This is being composed for all of our administrative contacts at the member schools as an open note of thanks and gratitude.
Over the last week, many of you, and I mean a great many, have taken the time out to call, text, email and send cards of condolence to our office upon learning of the death of our long-time physical plant director John Ginn. He was our own “Wal-Mart greeter” during his 31-year tenure here and knew many of you by face and name from our many meetings and tournaments.
On behalf of all of our entire staff, and Johnny’s family, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. We appreciate your outpouring of concern, and your understanding yesterday when our office was closed to allow for participation in his funeral and burial service.
We are back open on our regular basis and ready to support you as you kick off another fantastic school […]
07/31/15 – Reminder to Update School Coach/Roster Information
As we approach the start of the sports seasons, it is critical that all schools have coaching lists and information up to date, as well as competition rosters. A roster, including coaches names and a valid playing roster, must be entered prior to any contest being played, and no athlete is eligible to play in a scrimmage or contest who is not listed on the current online school roster.
All content in the roster system is accessible solely through the school login subdomain at http://schools.khsaa.org/. On that page are invaluable video links to assist with “how to” of the subdomain.
New this year is a MUCH more streamlined method of editing your non-coach data. By school request, this has become more of a “fill in the blank” portal so that you can be sure and enter the required personnel. The link is located at http://schools.khsaa.org/admin_personnel/. A few important notes:
- If a particular position is in Red, […]

Every person who has ever served on the staff or Board of Control of the Association, along with the many workers, volunteers and constituents who came into contact with him on a daily basis, was forever positively changed by his attitude and infectious smile. The entire KHSAA family extends its deepest sympathy to his daughter Diane (J. Michael Griffitt), son John Allan, grandson Joseph and granddaughter Jessica, and the entire extended family.
He was 82, having celebrated his birthday in May and was the widower of Billie Carol Ginn. […]

Following an incident in a varsity baseball game between Lawrence County and Pike County Central on May 5, which led to the termination of the game by the officiating crew in the 6th inning, the KHSAA conducted an investigation to determine any appropriate penalties.

04/20/15 – Updated Physical History and Exam, Permission Forms Posted
Thanks to great work by various groups, we are able to get revised physical and permission forms online a couple of weeks early this year as many of you plan for next year. All old forms that have been completed remain valid for the one year plus one month period from the date of administration as specified in the KHSAA Handbook, but any new exam should utilize the new form.
The Physical Form (both history and physician exam) forms have been separated from the permission form. This is after considerable requests from the membership due to the burden of middle school students taking the same physical and using it in different situations, both middle school students playing intra-middle school and those middle school students playing ‘up” to the high school level in permitted sports. The forms are now divided into three different forms:
