09/19/25 – Final Reminder: Fall ’25 Esports Registration ends TONIGHT & Important Update on League of Legends
As mentioned in front of our member schools that were in Lexington yesterday, 9/18, at our Annual Meeting of Schools, Registration for the Fall ’25 Esports Season ends tonight at 11:59 PM League time.
If teams do not make it in today, they will not be able to participate in this Fall Season.(full season details and reminders can be found at the following link:https://khsaa.org/09-15-25-khsaa-playvs-fall-2025-esports-registration-deadline-is-friday-9-19/)
Important Update on the Status of League of Legends for this Fall
At this time, we only have 9 teams statewide enrolled in League of Legends, which is well below the 20-team limit for a balanced season.
This probably isn’t a surprise to many, as it isn’t a Kentucky-specific issue, but part of the broader trend we’ve seen with League of Legends declining in popularity across the country.
To give students a better experience, if we do not get to the minimum of 20 today, we will have […]

08/22/25 -KHSAA Fall 2025 Esports Season & Title Change: Street Fighter 6 Has Arrived
We wanted to kick off the KHSAA Fall esports season with some general information, reminders, and an update on NBA 2K.
We appreciate everyone who has been interested and involved with NBA 2K. However, PlayVS is still in active discussions with the game publisher to align on future plans for the title within the scholastic esports leagues. While KHSAA and PlayVS don’t have final details to share just yet, this news impacts our Fall ‘25 season, and we will not be able to offer NBA 2K for the time being. With that being said, we are excited to announce we will be offering Street Fighter 6 as a new KHSAA championship title!

08/21/25 – Volleyball Season Updates and Reminders
Now that the first week of the 2025 girls’ volleyball season is coming to an end, we wanted to provide these updates based on early questions that have come to the office, as well as a clarification from the NFHS. These reminders will also apply to the boys’ 2026 season.
BALL SHAGGING BY OPPONENTS
This was a Point of Emphasis last year from the NFHS that dealt with sportsmanship. Opposing teams were asked not to shag balls during warm-ups. After a year review and consultation from the NFHS, our office has been advised that this practice is recommended should there be sportsmanship issues.
We had and still have, during the first week of the 2025 season, regions where it had been adhered to and where it was ignored. From here forward, it will be a local issue. Should it be deemed a sportsmanship issue, then it should be recognized; otherwise, the Association has no […]
08/21/25 – State Golf First Round Site Change (Regions 1-4)
After consultation and review with Golf House Kentucky, we feel the need to relocate the State First Round Tournament for Regions 1-4 to Calvert City Country Club for 2025.
We realize some teams may have already made efforts to play at Drake Creek Golf Club this season, but we believe this decision will result in the best experience for all participants. Hopefully, making this announcement now allows teams time to make logistical adjustments as they prepare for the state tournament. We appreciate Drake Creek’s understanding and willingness to be a part of the KHSAA State Championship, and hope to include them in the near future as the site rotation plan is expanded for future years.
Calvert City previously hosted the first round state event in 2023, and we are confident Adam Webb and his staff will do another great job with this year’s tournament, even on short notice.

Rosters were “rolled over” from last year, with underclassmen promoted to the next year in school accordingly.

07/15/25 – KHSAA360: Importing New Students for 2025-26
A quick reminder for those schools that do not use Arbiter Registration, you can import incoming 7th graders (and any other new students) into your Eligibility>Student List. This may save you time, especially for a larger school. Remember that new students must be on the student list in order for them to be selected on individual rosters. To import: Download the template from the Student list
then: 
This is a view of a template: 
As long as you can get an export from any student system that you are using, you can simply copy and paste into those columns. You can enter as much information as you want, but obviously, you would need to at least import the basics of student ID, name, and graduating […]

06/16/2025 – Coaching Eligibility for the 2025-26 School Year is now available
2025-2026 Coaching Eligibility is now available. Many schools had hired new coaches in the previous school year and correctly added them to the 2025-2026 rosters on your Resources > Team page.
As of July 1, every team’s coaches and varsity athletes have been moved over to the 2025-2026 rosters (minus any Class of ’25 graduating seniors).
When you go to your team rosters, you will see that they now default to 2025-2026. You will need to go through your 2025-2026 rosters and remove any coaches that are not coaching this upcoming school year.
Initially, KHSAA and Arbiter staff thought that we would shrink the Sport Safety course down to one module. Unfortunately, that did not work as intended, so it has been reverted to eight individual courses. We were still able to clean up the dashboard and shrink the number of columns from three to one.
Below you will find reminders on how both […]

The list includes the top 22 times/performances in each running event. This is in addition to the field event results.
**BE ADVISED: This list is NOT finalized and reviewed to ensure the inclusion of all 12 automatic qualifiers (two from each of the other 6 completed regions) who are in the state meet based on place of finish in their respective region (1st or 2nd).

05/22/25 – Class 1A Region 1 Running Events to be Rerun
Due to a variety of meet, administrative and technical errors with the timing and results process, all Class 1A Region 1 running events must be rerun.
The KHSAA office and state meet officials, including the software company, have conducted a lengthy review to try and solve the issues and find an alternative solution. Unfortunately, none of the running events were timed in the correct format. Accurate performance records are not available or able to be reconstructed, dramatically reducing alternative options. We have also consulted with the NFHS to be certain that the final determination is compliant with Federation rules. With at-large state qualifiers at stake, it is also vital to ensure fairness and transparency for the other six regions in Class 1A.
After an emergency Zoom meeting with the member schools in the region, it has been determined that the best path forward is for the meet to be […]
05/20/24 – Outdoor Track & Field Regionals Rescheduled

05/08/25 – Reminders about Regional Track & Field Meets
CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
- With the regional schedule (which will come from each regional manager), coaches should prepare athletes to communicate with meet personnel and check-in/check-out of each event. Athletes should arrive at the clerk for running events no later than the second call. The games committee has determined that athletes who check out to compete in a running event have 12 minutes from the completion of that event to return to check-in.
- Coaches, it is also very important that you speak with your athletes about the schedule prior to the meet, particularly those that are in multiple field events, or a combination of field and running events. Athletes and coaches must know the appropriate rules regarding check-out (and in) and MUST COMMUNICATE continually with meet officials (particularly the head judge of each event) to ensure a smooth transition if necessary to report to another event. The games committee has determined appropriate time limits for competitors excused to compete […]
