Harvey Alston: Educator & 

Author to Headline KSHSAA 

Annual Meeting in Wichita 

on January 27th 

The Kansas State High School Activities 

Association annual meeting

for his enthusiasm and appreciation 

of educators. Harvey Alston, 

author and former educator, will 

provide the keynote address at 

the KSHSAA’s Annual Meeting 

in Wichita. The KSHSAA Annual 

Meeting is held in conjunction with 

the United School Administrators 

Convention in Wichita and will begin 

at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, January 

27, 2012. Following a brief report 

on KSHSAA business by Executive Director Gary Musselman 

and Association staff, Mr. Alston will deliver his message. The 

session will take place in the Hyatt conference center in Room 

210 A-B-C. The KSHSAA session is open for all to attend, 

whether or not they are registered for the convention. 

Considered one of the most dynamic, “high octane” speakers in 

America, Harvey Alston has been a full-time speaker since 1989. 

Audiences throughout the United States have benefited not only 

from his knowledge, but also from his practical wisdom. 

Harvey Alston’s unforgettable words of individual responsibility 

for achievement have improved spirits, spurred growth, and 

changed lives. His powerful, soul-searching presentations uplift 

audiences to a higher standard, and to a level where they strive

accomplishment and the dignity of human beings. 

Alston’s career has spanned positions from head football coach 

of Columbus East High School in Ohio in 1968, to assistant 

director of student financial aid at the university level. As an 

educator he taught English, biology, health, life sciences and 

math curricula. Over the years, Alston has received recognition 

and awards from such diverse groups and organizations 

as the Ohio House of Representatives as one of Ohio’s “Finest 

Citizens”, the City of Columbus declared a Harvey Alston Day, 

he was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel, and has received 

numerous national recognitions and awards. People walk away 

from Harvey Alston’s presentations knowing they have just 

heard someone who “has been around the track a few times” 

and one who shares it in a way that people won’t forget. He 

has the courage it takes to remind people that life is only what 

they make it, that self-respect does not come with the job, but is 

brought to the job by people who do the best they can do, with 

whatever work is available to them. 

“Having heard Mr. Alston previously, we are excited to bring 

his enthusiastic message to our annual meeting. We welcome 

everyone to our session,” said KSHSAA Executive Director, 

Gary Musselman.

School 

Administrators 

The only official interpretations 

are those received in writing. 

Form C-1 and CM/J-1 

Confirms Students’ Eligibility 

Administrators and activity and/or athletic directors are reminded 

Form C-1 and CM/J-1 are found online at www.kshsaa. 

org. Access them by logging into your school account at the 

KSHSAA website. Select Entry Forms, then click on January to 

find the form. These forms are due in the Association office 

within 10 school days after the completion of the first semester. 

This is a companion form to KSHSAA Online Eligibility. ALL 

SCHOOLS MUST FILE THE FORM WITHIN THE LISTED 

TIME FRAME. When filing the report, if a school does not 

have an ineligible student, simply write “NONE” and mail 

or fax the report. (See December Journal page 5.) 

Completion of C-1 and CM/J-1 reports students who were previously 

listed as eligible but now are NOT eligible for second 

semester participation, or remain ineligible. 

Reminder—Please refer to pages 7-8 of the September Activities 

Journal for complete information concerning KSHSAA Online 

Eligibility. Students beginning their activity participation with 

the second semester, whose names have NOT been previously 

entered into the online eligibility system, must be entered online 

before their first competition. 

Eligibility Attendance 

Requirements 

Students who are required to attend eighteen weeks to become 

eligible, must attend class in the nineteenth week. Those who 

are required to attend a semester, for academic purposes, must 

attend a class in the new semester before participating. 

Outside Competition—Road 

Races 

See September Journal—page 7, for details

go to “Other Links” and select "Education Associations" to find the 

link to the "National Association of Secondary School Principals". 

Interschool Scrimmages Defined 

See September Journal—page 5, for details and Rule 30-1-5. 

Football Helmet Reconditioning 

The KSHSAA encourages each coach/athletic director, who is 

considering reconditioning football helmets, to contact the 

manufacturer directly to determine what their policies are regarding 

reconditioning and warranties. This allows each KSHSAA 

member school direct contact to determine the exact status and 

recommendations regarding particular football helmets. 

Attention Principals and AD's 

Schools need to check the "Approved Events" link on our 

website before attending any athletic or non-athletic event 

that requires KSHSAA approval. Listing of approved events is 

updated weekly. Please call the KSHSAA if an event is not on 

our approved list. 

All-Star Rule 24-1-1 

Schools are reminded of All-Star Games Rule 24-1-1. It is not 

permissible for any member school, its officials, or any employee 

of the school to participate directly or indirectly in any All-Star 

contests composed of undergraduate students. This includes 

“promotion” which eliminates the possibility of schools furnishing 

facilities or equipment, etc. 

Undergraduate students include seniors who have completed 

their eligibility in the sport, but have not yet graduated. These 

students may participate in All-Star events, but may not be 

coached by their school coach until after graduation. 

Please check Rule 24 in the KSHSAA Handbook for details. 

Questions pertaining to collegiate eligibility regarding All- 

Star contests should be directed to the appropriate governing 

body. 

Delayed Telecasting of any 

Interscholastic Activity 

Requires Approval 

KSHSAA has received reports that local cable television stations 

borrow school tapes of athletic contests which have been played 

away from home, and show them to viewers without permission 

from the host school. During the season, each host school 

has exclusive rights to those contests and unless permission 

is given, local cable stations are violating federal statutes. In 

post-season contests, those rights belong to the KSHSAA and 

its member schools. 

Tape-delayed televised and internet telecast contracts are available 

on the KSHSAA website, www.kshsaa.org, under Media 

Information link. In addition to other terms in the contract, 

rights fees are as follows: 

$ 25—72 and greater-hour delay 

$ 50—48-hour delay 

$100—24-hour delay 

$300—for a playback following the last game of the 

evening session 

Live telecasting of any post-season competition is prohibited 

unless a proper agreement is reached, which includes a fee of 

$1,500 for each contest televised. 

Specific instances of telecasting violations should be brought to 

the attention of the KSHSAA as soon as possible. 


Preventive Administration 

Protecting Yourself, Your Students 

and Your School 

As we begin the new year, it is an appropriate time to review 

methods that many schools take to protect staff, students and 

schools from injury and possible litigation. The following list 

may provide you with a simplified set of guidelines to review 

with your staff. The following ideas are points which could be 

covered at staff inservice with coaches/sponsors. 

Common Sense 

Use good common sense in making decisions relating to your 

activity. Drills used by coaches in practice, the names given to 

drills, supervision of participants, and techniques taught to 

participants, should be reasonable and related to the improvement 

of the student. The actions of the staff should always be 

reasonable and prudent in the eyes of the law. Failing to meet 

this standard invites the possibility of a lawsuit and possible 

punitive damages. 

Follow the Rules 

KSHSAA activities follow rules adopted by the National 

Federation. Coaches should make every effort to make sure that 

rules are taught and followed. Rules are not made to be broken. 

If coaches disagree with a rule, they should visit with their 

school administrator about going through the proper channels 

to try to bring about a possible rule change. Part of the learning 

experience in school activities is an exercise in understanding 

and participating in the democratic process. 

Record Keeping 

Keeping good records can prevent many problems for coaches 

and the school. Records need to be kept on incidents, accidents, 

warning of risk, physicals, permit slips, facilities, policies, practice 

plans, equipment inspections and proper procedures to be 

utilized by staff and student assistants. 

Injuries 

Coaches should exercise caution to be sure that appropriate 

procedures are followed when handling injuries. Some schools 

are able to contract for services of a certified athletic trainer. 

Although this is desirable, it may not be an option available to 

every school. If a certified athletic trainer or another appropriate 

licensed healthcare provider is not available, then consider 

establishing a seminar or school inservice with coaches and other 

key personnel which will cover injury prevention and management 

issues. Many schools also provide CPR/AED training for 

their staff members. 

Facilities 

Inspect all facilities on a regular basis. Inspection records should 

be kept and items which need to be repaired before practices or 

competitions should be noted. School guidelines for transporting 

students to and from events at all facilities should be shared 

with both students and parents. 

Equipment 

It is important to keep good records on equipment. Some equipment 

must be reconditioned yearly and record keeping is vital. 

Many schools consider a replacement system to replace old 

inventory on a regular basis. Make every effort to provide safe 

equipment which is properly fitted. 

Inservice Training 

Activities staff benefit from a well-planned inservice program 

which educates them about school objectives, philosophy, methodology, 

communication, time management as well as first-aid 

education. All personnel deserve to be in-serviced to improve 

their effectiveness as educators. Inservice training is a must and 

directly benefits both the professional staff and the students 

they serve. Good documentation of a well designed inservice 

program is an important component of a school’s improvement 

plan. These basic areas are by no means a comprehensive set of 

guidelines but may serve to remind schools of how comprehensive 

a well administered activities program can be. Best wishes 

in your continuing efforts to provide a safe and educationally 

sound activities program in your school. 

Approval Criteria for 

Institution-Sponsored 

Activities 

The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) 

is responsible for all interscholastic activities under the jurisdiction 

of the Association, sponsored by outside agencies and nonmember 

schools, and advertised as middle/junior/senior high

6. List of awards and prizes. 

a. No cash or merchandise prizes shall be awarded to students. 

Medals, ribbons and certificates may be awarded. 

Scholarships payable to the educational institution of 

the student’s choice are acceptable. 

Schools shall not participate in events of this type unless such 

events have been approved by the Kansas State High School 

Activities Association. Approved events are posted at www. 

kshsaa.org under the "Approved Events" link. 

All other activities, including academic events not identified as 

Scholars’ Bowl competitions (i.e., head to head academic team 

competition, quick response answers, time limits on questions, 

use of recognition systems by participants) and those vocational 

and technical activities, which are approved and governed solely 

by the Kansas State Department of Education are not under the 

jurisdiction of the KSHSAA, as they are not identified in the 

KSHSAA Handbook. 

Banners and Signs at 

State Events 

Banners and signs will be permitted at KSHSAA-sponsored 

tournaments, provided they are not personal, negative, unsportsmanlike 

or vulgar. Signs must be attached or fastened 

to the facility with approval of the tournament manager; or if 

held by one person they will be permitted in the stands as long 

as they meet the above criteria. Signs may not exceed 4' x 12'. 

Parading with flags, signs or banners will not be permitted. 

Helium filled balloons, glitter or confetti will not be allowed 

at any site. Signs may NOT cover any advertising or signage 

presently up at the local site. 

Game Contracts Still Binding 

with New Leagues 

The KSHSAA is often contacted concerning the responsibility 

of schools to fulfill obligations of existing contracts when they 

join or form new leagues. 

When new conferences or leagues are formed and schedules 

are completed, it must be with the understanding that member 

schools are bound to any contracts previously signed, unless 

dissolved by mutual agreement. In some cases, newly formed 

leagues have agreed to select a league winner based upon percentages 

of wins and losses in the event all schools cannot play 

a complete schedule of league contests the first year or two. 

What about Card D? 

Leagues may eliminate the exchange of Card D if they take official 

action to provide that all game times, jersey colors, officials’ 

names who will work each contest, etc., will be published in a 

league brochure and distributed to its members prior to the first 

contest in each league activity. This brochure should indicate that 

each school principal is responsible for seeing that no student 

participates while ineligible and Form ELG or ELG-M/J, “Athletic 

Eligibility Certificate,” is on file in the KSHSAA office prior to the 

first contest in that activity. For all non-league events, all schools 

are to exchange Card D, found online at www.kshsaa.org. 

Officials Contracts Important 

Schools are reminded of the importance of using KSHSAA contracts 

when selecting officials for interscholastic sports, especially 

in activities where registered officials are required by KSHSAA 

regulations. Forms are available online at www.kshsaa.org. 

When contracts are made with athletic officials, principals 

should make sure that all details of the forms are completed. 

Full names and addresses of officials should be included on each. 

This information is especially helpful when there is a change in 

administration the following year. Please note the guidelines 

listed below: 

l. Secure the approval of your opponents in writing, prior to 

issuing contracts to the officials. 

2. Use the full names, addresses and telephone numbers of 

each official on the contract. 

3. Specify the game fee and mileage allowance (if applicable), 

on the contract. 

4. Complete the penalty clause provided on the contract. 

5. Specify the contract is valid only if the contest is played on 

the date indicated. 

6. Schools, conferences, and leagues should review the fee 

and mileage paid to the officials. The fee should be in line 

with salaries for other services. 

KSHSAA regulations provide that officials shall be approved 

by opponents and it is recommended that such approval be in 

writing before contracts are issued. The Association has always 

felt an official’s word (verbal) is his/her bond and that contracts 

accepted verbally are ethically to be honored, as well as those 

accepted in writing. 

Officials Registration Statistics 

Six fall and winter athletic activities administered by the KSHSAA 

require member schools to contract officials who are registered 

with the Association. These activities for the 2011-12 school year 

are football, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, girls gymnastics 

and soccer. The total number of officials registered for fall and 

winter activities in 2011-12 is 4939 which is 52 less than the 2010- 

11 total of 4991. The breakdown for each sport follows:

Kansas Sports Concussion 

Partnership 

The information below is provided as a courtesy to our member schools 

by Travis Francis, President of the Kansas Athletic Trainers Society 

and a member of the Kansas Sports Concussion Partnership. Please 

go to www.kansasconcussion.org to learn more about this new resource. 

The website can also be accessed from the KSHSAA’s Sports 

Medicine & Safety menu on the Concussion Guidelines & Educational 

Resources page. 

The Kansas Sports Concussion Partnership (KSCP) was developed 

in the fall of 2011 following the Kansas State Legislature’s 

passing of House Bill HB 2182, The School Sports Head Injury 

Prevention Act, in June of 2011. The bill was enacted on July 1, 

2011. In brief, the legislation required that any student-athlete 

suspected of sustaining a head injury (concussion) to: 

1. Be removed from activity immediately 

2. Be not allowed to return to activity that day 

3. Be evaluated and cleared by a physician (MD or DO) 

4. Pass a structured return to play progression 

With this new legislated prevention plan, came more questions 

and concerns from coaches, school administrators, athletic 

trainers, physicians and parents. A local group of health care 

providers associated with the Medical Society of Sedgwick 

County decided to form a workgroup to dispense ‘appropriate 

and useful’ information to the aforementioned groups to help 

educate our communities on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI or 

Concussions). This group of health care providers is comprised 

of neurologists, sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, 

neuropsychologists and school administrators. The purpose was 

to disseminate this information in a way or format that would 

allow all to understand and to provide a resource to parents, 

physicians and coaches in our communities. The website was 

developed to help these individuals understand the severity of 

TBI/Concussions and to give them the information to manage 

both appropriately and effectively. The website has information 

regarding the recognition, management and return to play guides 

for TBI/Concussions as well as general information directed at 

each group; parents, coaches, athletes, school administrators 

and physicians. 

Furthermore, the website offers a place to retrieve information 

that is in accordance with the State of Kansas Law and in line 

with the Kansas High School Activities Association’s rules as 

they relate to TBI/Concussions. 

This workgroup will meet annually to review current TBI/Concussion 

protocols and treatment plans and issue a “Consensus 

Statement” and forward to all physicians practicing medicine 

in the State of Kansas to ensure health care providers will have 

the most up-to-date information to manage these injuries. I 

would encourage anyone associated with any sports team or 

group to utilize this information often and regularly to ensure 

proper education, management and return to play guidelines are 

maintained to protect our student athletes. I would encourage 

our schools to utilize this information to develop a school policy 

on how they will handle TBIs/Concussions at their respective 

schools. The more we understand and know about this potentially 

life threatening injury, the more we can limit the adverse 

effects and protect our student athletes.

ACT Test Conflicts with State 

Meets 

In the fall of 2012, the ACT Test date will conflict with State 

cross country meets. Member school coaches, counselors and 

administrators should schedule cross country and volleyball 

athletes to take the ACT exam during one of the earlier or 

later examination periods to avoid this conflict!! On Saturday, 

October 27, the State Cross Country meets will be held for all 

classes. ACT Test dates are:

Six Quarter Rule 

KSHSAAHandbookRules 33-2-5 & 33-3-2 provide for middle/junior 

high and high school players to participate in a maximum of six 

(6) game quarters per day. Kansas schools participating against 

schools from neighboring states must follow the Kansas rules, 

regardless of the rules for that individual state. Kansas basketball 

players may not play in seven quarters. Violations of this rule are 

to be reported to the KSHSAA. EXCEPTION: Should a non-varsity 

contest be played in four quarters of four minutes each or less 

(three minutes, middle/junior high), participating in one or two 

four-minute quarters would be considered identical to that of one 

eight-minute quarter as it relates to the six quarter participation rule. 

Participation in any part of three or four quarters of four minutes 

(three middle/junior high school) would count as two quarters. 

Weekly Newsletter 

Coaches, officials and school administrators should check the 

KSHSAA Basketball page each week for information in the weekly 

newsletter. Information on situations or clarifications on rules 

and rule interpretations is included in the newsletter. You may 

access the newsletter by going to kshsaa.org – athletic/basketball. 

Scrimmage/Practice 

Information 

The KSHSAA has been asked if it is permissible for a group of boys 

(not the boys basketball team) to come in and scrimmage the girls 

basketball team. This is not permitted per KSHSAA Handbook 

Rule 14-1-1 which states, “In order to be eligible for participation, 

the student must be a bona fide undergraduate of that school and 

in good standing. In order to participate in practice, the student 

must be a bona fide undergraduate of that school and one who 

is eligible or has the possibility of eligibility.” Because boys are 

not able to participate on the girls basketball team, they are not 

allowed to practice with or scrimmage against the girls teams. 

A school may permit a boys school team to scrimmage against 

a girls school team. Example: The freshmen boys scrimmaging 

the Varsity girls or the 9th grade girls team scrimmaging the 8th 

grade girls team. 

Make sure coaches are aware they may not have a “boys practice 

squad” come in and scrimmage/practice with your girls teams 

during the season. Managers may help with traditional manager 

duties during practice including but not limited to passing of balls, 

rebounding for a player shooting, running the clock, etc. Managers 

may not participate in practices/scrimmages. 

School teams may not hold scrimmages with junior college teams 

or other outside groups. Alumni scrimmages are permitted. During 

a scrimmage there can be no score kept and no clock. Use of 

officials is permitted. Should one or more game elements (score 

or time) be involved, it would no longer be a scrimmage, but must 

count toward the number of contests allowed during a season. 

Headbands Defined 

The NFHS has clarified the difference between a headband and 

a hair control device. Headbands go around the entire head and 

include items such as: elastic strips, elastic bands, pre-wrap, 

moisture-absorbing terry cloth, other similar items. Headbands 

must be worn on the forehead/crown, be nonabrasive, unadorned, 

and a maximum of 2 inches. Only one school or manufacturer 

logo is permitted. Head decorations (like ribbons) are prohibited. 

Ponytail holders are considered hair control devices and do not 

come under the restrictions of color, maximum size, logo restrictions 

and team uniformity. 

The colors permitted for headbands and wristbands are white, 

black, beige or a school color. Only one headband may be worn 

by each player. If more than one player is wearing a headband or 

wristband they all must be wearing the same color, although they 

may be a different style. Example player #10 maybe wearing prewrap 

and player #12 an elastic band, as long as they are the same 

color and meet the size and logo restrictions they are permitted. 

Barrettes and bobby pins are not permitted. 

Arm Compression Sleeves 

NFHS Basketball rule 3-5-3 states that Arm Compression sleeves 

shall: 

a. be white, black, beige or a single solid school color; 

b. be the same color for each team member; 

c. meet the logo requirements in 3-6; 

d. be worn for a medical reason. 

While Kansas does not require the coach to show the official a 

note that the doctor has indicated the sleeve must be worn, when 

the official asks the coach in pregame “are your players legally 

equipped and will they play in a sportsmanlike manner” the 

coach shouldn’t be deceptive when answering the question. In 

addition the coach should not encourage a player to be deceptive 

if asked why they are wearing the sleeve. If a sleeve is to be worn 

and it is for a medical reason the school should have a note from 

the doctor on file. If not worn for a medical reason, compression 

continued ➣ 


sleeves are not to be worn. Reasons of it looks cool, it improves 

my shooting, etc. are not medical reason. This is a playing rule 

and applies grades 7-12. 

Bench Decorum – Coaches 

Box 

The KSHSAA Executive Board has approved the use of the six 

foot optional coaching box for the 2011-12 season. Administrators 

should visit with their coaching staff and set expectations for 

properly using the coaching box. Officials may issue a technical 

foul to coaches who do not comply with coaching box restrictions, 

but it is important expectations be set by the administration who 

employs the coach. The box must be marked so it can be clearly 

seen from the court (chairs can’t be sitting on top of it). Measure 

22 feet from the end line and 28 feet from the end line to mark the 

box on the floor, it must be marked for all levels of competition. 

The purpose of the box is to provide fairness in coaching. Allowing 

a coach to wander the sideline gives them an advantage over the 

coach who follows the rule and coaches from the box. This is a FAIR- 

NESS in coaching rule, please help educate coaches on the reason 

for the coaching box. Coaches may stand in the six foot box during 

play. For safety reasons they may not squat or kneel. Assistant 

coaches may not stand except during timeouts and intermission. 

Running Clock 

By Executive Board action the running clock will be used during 

all Sub-State games. It will not be used during State games. 

The 30 point running clock may be used in regular season contests 

by league adoption or school administrators may agree prior to 

the contest that the running clock will be used. It is used in the 

4th quarter only when the point differential reaches 30 points. 

The clock shall continue to run except when stopped per NFHS 

playing rules. (Injury, blood on the uniform, team calls a time 

out) Officials should be notified prior to the contest by the school 

administration whether the running clock is to be used during 

the contest. The timer, scorer, PA announcer and coaches must 

also be notified by school administration. The announcer should 

make announcements concerning the running clock so that fans 

will know why the clock is not stopping in the 4th quarter. 

Use Registered Officials 

Association regulations require high schools to use registered KSHSAA 

basketball officials for varsity (first team) boys and girls basketball. 

Middle/Junior High Schools are recommended to follow the same 

procedure. (See KSHSAA Handbook Rules 11-2-1 and 11-3-1). High 

School athletic directors or principals should verify all varsity officials’ 

registrations by checking the online Officials Directory. 

Post season recommendations for officials are due to the 

KSHSAA by February 8, 2012. 

State Adopted Basketball 

The Spalding TF-1000 Legacy basketball will be used for all postseason 

contests. 

Track & 

Field 

Starters & Referees 

The KSHSAA Executive Board adopted the following regulation: 

In order to qualify as a starter or referee for post-season 

track and field meets, the individual must: 

• fulfill the track and field online rules meeting requirement 

• receive 90 percent or better on the NF Track & Field 

Examination, Part I. 

Track and Field starters who register with the KSHSAA will automatically 

receive a copy of the 2012 Track & Field Examination, Part I and 

NFHSTrack&FieldRulesbook(s). Athletic directors, track & field coaches 

and/or school administrators who know of other individuals interested 

in starting track meets should have them contact the KSHSAA. 

STATE TRACK MEET SCHEDULE 

Time/event schedule for the 2012 meet 

will be posted on the KSHSAA website 

www.kshsaa.org. 

Volleyball 

White Volleyballs Required 

for 2012-2013 Season 

The Kansas State High School Activities Association Executive 

Board is requiring that white volleyballs be used for all interscholastic 

volleyball competition in the 2012-2013 school year. 

NFHS volleyball rules will allow for the use of a colored panel 

volleyball in competition per approval of the state association. 

At their November Board Meeting the Executive Board discussed 

this option throroughly and made the decision to stay with a 

white ball for competition. The primary reason for their decision 

was financial and the added burden placed on schools for 

a product that is not needed or necessary. It was agreed that 

not using a colored panel volleyball would not pose a safety 

concern for athletes. 

The official volleyball for the Kansas State High School Activities 

Association post-season volleyball competition is the Baden 

VX5E Perfection. Beginning January 1, 2012 the Kansas State 

High School Activities Association will begin the 3nd year of a 

3 year contract with Baden.

Spirit 

Groups 

State Basketball: 

Halftime Request Procedure 

Schools are welcome to provide halftime entertainment at KSH- 

SAA state basketball tournaments. Request for a performance time 

from the high school principal shall be made to the KSHSAA on 

or after January 1, preceding the state basketball tournament. 

Spirit groups will be considered and assigned, regardless of their 

school’s having qualified a team for the state tournament. Note: 

Schools are welcome to apply to sites outside of their classification 

in an effort to reduce travel costs. 

Spirit groups will perform only at the halftime of the 

last game played on each of the four days. This policy is 

necessary since participating basketball teams normally practice 

at the halftime of the game preceding their contest in order to 

adjust to the new surroundings of the state tournament site. 

A maximum of two spirit groups may be allowed to perform at 

the halftime of the last game which may necessitate extending 

the halftime period. Each group will be limited to a maximum 

five-minute performance, which includes the time necessary 

for getting on and off the floor. 

Cheer/Dance Rules Clarified 

Regarding Glitter, Hair, 

Jewelry, Fingernails 

So often the most violated safety rules are the rules which are the 

most easily fixed! National Federation of State High School Associations 

(NFHS) Spirit Rules regarding gum, glitter, hair, jewelry, 

and fingernails should be the easiest to enforce by our cheer/dance 

coaches and they do not involve practice or stunt changes. It should 

be easy for a coach to say: “Your hair is too long to be left down. 

Please put it up in a pony tail so it is off your shoulders;” or “We 

are stunting and your fingernails are too long;” or “I need you to 

remove all jewelry before practices and performances. Period.” 

If a coach explains that these are rules that have been set by the 

NFHS and KSHSAA to prevent injury, perhaps cheerleaders 

and dancers will realize the safety concerns. Coaches - be firm. 

Enforce the rules for safety. 

NF Rule 2-1-7: Participants are not permitted to chew gum or 

have candy in their mouths during practice or performance. 

NF Rule 2-3-1: Jewelry must not be worn except for religious 

or medical medals, which shall be taped to the body (without 

a chain) under the uniform. 

✔ 

NOTE: Jewelry that is illegal includes any pierced body 

parts (navel, eyebrow, tongue or any other piercing). There can 

be no earrings worn on any part of the ear as well. The 

"no jewelry" rule also pertains to ankle bracelets, watches, 

rings, and necklaces. 

12 KSHSAA Activities Association 

✔ 

✔ 

✔ 

The NFHS also states that tongue piercing has been 

determined by the physicians on their board to be such 

a great safety hazard, that it is not allowed in any sport. 

"Spacers" that are placed in the tongue or any other part 

of the body while the stud has been removed have also 

been determined by the physicians to be illegal. Students 

will NOT be allowed to loop fish line through any pierced 

area to keep it open or cover jewelry with tape. 

NF Rule 2-3-2: Fingernails, including artificial nails, must be 

kept at an appropriate length (short, near the end of the fingers) 

to minimize risk for the participants. That means the nails are 

not visible beyond the end of the fingers when viewed from the 

palm side of the hands. 

NOTE: Artificial nails are legal, provided they are the 

CORRECT LENGTH. 

NF Rule 2-3-3: The hair must be worn in a manner to minimize 

risk for the participant. Hair devices, if worn, must be secure 

and appropriate for the activity. 

NOTE: The legal devices to hold hair away from the face 

and off the shoulders include: bobby pins, small triangle 

clips, flat (old fashioned) barrettes, rubber/elastic bands. 

Claw clamps of any size are illegal, as are bobby pins 

with jewels glued on the ends (jewelry rules), bump its, etc. 

Only very tight fitting 3/8" or less headbands are legal. 

The only purpose of a legal headband is to secure hair 

away from the eyes. Any headband with sequins, jewels 

or glitter is illegal. 

Hair Adornment (Feathers, Tensile, Etc. Not Permitted) 

Cheerleaders/Dancers will not be allowed to wear feather 

hair extensions (latest trend in adding style and texture to 

hair), tensile, etc. in their hair during practice and competition. 

This is considered "ADORNMENT" and is not 

permitted by the NFHS and KSHSAA rule. All KSHSAA 

sports codes are consistent. Feathering will not be permitted 

during any activities under NFHS rule jurisdiction. 

NF Rule 2-3-7: Participants shall not wear glitter that does not 

readily adhere on their hair, face, uniform, costume or the body 

(If it can fall off, it is illegal). 

NOTE: Glitter will also be illegal on signs used by cheerleaders 

unless the signs have been completely laminated. 

Spirit Groups Should Set and 

Observe High Standards 

If spirit groups do not exercise good taste in selecting yells and 

signs in opposition to their opponents, they will bring discredit to 

their schools. The KSHSAA Board of Directors adopted Citizenship/Sportsmanship 

Rule 52 to give recommended guidelines 

for your school spirit groups (pep club, cheerleaders, drill teams, 

pompon squads, etc.). 

To help define desirable and unacceptable behavior, refer to the 

KSHSAA Sportsmanship/Citizenship Manual, pages 5-6 and 

15-16. Additional recommendations for your spirit groups can 

be found in the National Federation of State High School Associations' 

Spirit Rules Book, available from the KSHSAA for $6.50.

Elite Camp Option For 

Summer 2012 

KSHSAA is very excited to introduce the option for an ELITE 

summer camp for the Summer of 2012! Elite camps are designed 

for those teams who have mastered advanced stunts and are 

ready for the next level. Elite camps feature faster paced stunt and 

transition classes (participants will advance through liberties in 

their first stunt class on day one), additional emphasis on spotting 

and safety, and faster paced cheer and dance classes. Examples of 

elite skills that are covered include: liberty variations and multiple 

ways to get to a liberty, full up and 360 skills, various transitional 

skills only taught at Elite camps, as well as the new 2012 stunts and 

transitions. In addition, Elite camps offer an Elite Xtreme routine 

for teams to learn that is different from the traditional camp. Elite 

camps follow the same schedule as a traditional camp, just faster 

paced covering more material and information. 

Any team interested in enrolling in an Elite camp will be required 

to "qualify" for the elite camp by demonstrating their current 

stunting skills to their big brother/sister. Teams will be required to 

show an Extension with a pop cradle before they can participate 

in the Elite camp. (Any team who can’t meet qualifying skills 

will simply be moved to the traditional camp sessions). After 

the initial qualification the fast paced fun begins. 

The Elite camp option will only be offered at the following two 

camps: 

Butler Community College – June 19-22 

Butler Community College – June 25-28

Piano entrants qualify to represent their school in regional and 

state piano festival when the three following requirements are 

met: 

1. The student meets all eligibility requirements of the KSHSAA 

for individual participation. 

2. The student has contributed to the musical program of the 

school. Interpretation: The word “contribution” shall be 

interpreted to mean the student participates in the music 

program and/or plays the piano as an accompanist or as a 

performer for any phase of the school program. 

3. The student’s qualifications are approved by the local principal. It is 

also the principal who makes the final determination as to whether 

the student is to represent the school as one of the allotted entrants. 

Students must receive a First Division rating at the Regional 

Piano Festival to qualify for the State Piano Festival. (Refer to 

the December Activities Journal for additional information.) 


Participation of Bands at 

Basketball Contests 

Part of the excitement at many of our interscholastic basketball 

contests involves the spirited music supplied by the pep band. 

The performance of the musical group is enjoyed by all attending 

the game. 

To ensure full appreciation of the group’s performance, guidelines 

indicating when to play should be followed. Band directors are 

reminded that as a courtesy to the teams and cheerleaders of 

both schools, performances by the band should be limited to 

appropriate times. Guidelines listed below indicate appropriate 

playing times for the band: 

1. The band may play before the game begins. The director 

should coordinate the schedule so that team members may 

be introduced by the host school. 

2. The band may play at halftime of the contest. 

3. The band may play at the end of the contest if desired. 

4. The band may play during time-outs or between quarters. 

However, cheerleaders need the opportunity to lead cheers 

and players and coaches need to be able to communicate 

with each other during time-outs. 

5. Musical instruments may not be used as noisemakers during 

the contest. 

The director and his/her performing group should display 

courtesy and respect to players and cheerleaders by playing at 

appropriate times. With good planning and cooperation, the 

school pep band can be an integral part of the excitement and 

spirit of the contest.

The Executive Board reviewed the list of schools not submitting 

recommendations for post-season fall sports officiating. 

Schools not responding in football were Kansas City-Sumner 

Academy and Oxford. Schools not responding in soccer and 

volleyball: Kansas City-Sumner Academy. All other KSHSAA 

member senior high schools submitted recommendations on 

officials in all sports. 

3. The Sunflower League is proposing a change in the 6A football 

seeding procedures. On page 17 of the football manual, 

Section 3, 3.A.1-Class 6A and 5A Bracket, delete the following 

sentence – “They will be placed on the opposite quarters 

of the bracket from the district winners in the respective 

districts (so that the two teams from the same district, if 

they won in regional and sectional rounds would play each 

other in the sub-state round.)” 

Note: Our rationale for this change means we are treating 

the 5th thru 8th seeded teams the same as the 1st thru 4th 

seeded teams by using the criteria listed on pages 19-20.

yOUTH 

Transfer Rule 18-1-6: A member middle school self reported 

a violation of the transfer rule when it discovered a student 

had been inadvertently allowed to participate in three A 

team volleyball matches, when the student only qualified 

for sub-varsity participation by rule. The school notified 

their opponents and forfeited all matches and sent letters 

of apology. The school administration was reprimanded 

for the violation. 

Assistant Executive Director David Cherry, staff liaison to 

the Student Advisory Team, reported on the SAT meeting 

held October 12th. Six students are new to the team each 

year, joining six senior students who carry over from last year. 

Juniors joining the team this fall will serve two year terms 

on the committee. With the assistance of WIBW in Topeka, 

all twelve members of the Student Advisory Team wrote and 

recorded three public service announcements which are playing 

throughout the state on WIBW and the Kansas Information 

Radio Network. Selected student advisory PSA messages are 

also available on the KSHSAA website under media information. 

Mr. Cherry also reported on the completion of the regional 

Student Council conferences and on the Student Council 

Advisor’s Workshop conducted in the KSHSAA office during 

buffer week. Forty-five Student Council advisors from Kansas 

schools attended. 

In addition, Mr. Cherry reported, Friday and Saturday of buffer 

week, twenty-eight educators participated in the Scholars 

Bowl Question Validation Committee, finalizing questions 

for regional and state tournaments. Utilizing the KSHSAA’s 

online system, questions from 320 schools were submitted for 

tournament competition. This annual meeting is vital to the 

Amateur Rule 21-1-6: A member senior high school reported 

a violation by a 9th grade golfer who participated 

in a scramble tournament in which the scramble team 

consisting of other adults, accepted prize money. Upon 

learning of the situation, the athletic director worked with 

the student and other members of the scramble team, to 

return the prize money to the organizers of the event. Upon 

confirmation of the return of all prize money, the student’s 

eligibility was reinstated. 

Tennis Rule 41-2-5: Two members of a senior high tennis 

team were disqualified from the state tournament prior to 

the meet, when it was discovered they had exceeded the 

allowed number of competitions during the school season. 

Subsequently, their regional meet place and points were 

forfeited and team awards adjusted accordingly. The school 

and coach were reprimanded.

SpIRIT ACTIVITy SAFETy 

EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS 

Mr. Musselman provided the Executive Board with two potential 

future initiatives for consideration in the coming months. Both 

aim to minimize risk and enhance safety of students participating 

in spirit activities as well as increasing the knowledge 

and professionalism of the adults employed by member schools 

to coach and direct spirit activities. The two initiatives to be 

considered in the near future would be: 

1. Require KSHSAA rule meeting attendance every 

year instead of every-other-year. This requirement 

could be fulfilled through attendance at one 

of the spirit rule/safety meetings offered in conjunction 

with KSHSAA summer camps and fall spirit 

spreader clinics as is presently done. In addition, 

KSHSAA staff have created the ability to deliver an 

online spirit rules meeting for experienced coaches, 

consistent with other sports. 

2. The second initiative would require all spirit 

coaches to complete the NFHS Fundamentals of 

Coaching Cheer and Dance online course in order 

to be employed by a KSHSAA member school in a 

spirit coaching capacity. This requirement would 

be in effect regardless of whether or not the coach 

possesses a teaching certificate issued by the Kansas 

State Department of Education. It is noted the 

National Federation of State High School Association 

(NFHS) has an online course available at a 

price of less than $50. 

This information was taken under advisement by the Executive 

Board. No action was taken. It is anticipated further 

discussion on these initiatives will occur at future meetings 

of the Executive Board. 

Class 6A: 32 largest member schools playing 11-Man 

football 

Class 5A: 32 next largest member schools playing 11- 

Man football 

Class 4A: 64 48 next largest member schools playing 

11-Man football 

Class 3A: 64 next largest member schools playing 11- 

Man football 

Class 2-1A: All other member schools playing 11-Man 

football 

8-Man: participating schools will be assigned to two 

separate Divisions, as established by the Executive Board 

NOTE: For 8-Man district football participation, assignments 

shall be limited to those schools with a maximum 

enrollment of 100 students in grades 9, 10 and 11. (See 

Rule 35-2-3, Football.) 

Schools not requesting a football district assignment will 

have their position filled in each category by the next 

school moving up in enrollment. 

Class 1A Exception: Class 1A schools shall compete 

in two separate divisions in volleyball, basketball and 

scholar’s bowl for post-season and KSHSAA state championship 

competition. 

Following annual classification and determination of 

schools assigned to Class 1A, the half of the schools with 

the larger enrollments will be assigned to Division I and 

the half with smaller enrollments will be assigned to 

Division II. If Class 1A has an odd number of schools, Division 

I will be assigned one more school than Division II. 

c. On those days when school time is used, only two 

matches or tournaments may start prior to 3 p.m. C.T. 

and four two additional matches or tournaments may 

start no earlier than 1 p.m. C.T. The two four remaining 

matches must begin no earlier than 3 p.m. C.T. 

Class 2A would remain at 64 schools by moving the smallest 

enrollment 16 schools from Class 2A down to 1A. 

Class 1A would gain the 16 schools moving down from Class 

2A which in part would offset some of the loss of Class 1A 

schools being experienced due to school consolidations and 

closures.

April 2010 

KSHSAA Board of Directors hears testimony and discusses at length, two separate proposals from: 

1. Frontier League: To establish 8 classes of schools (10 for football) with all private schools being 

assigned to a separate private school class, ( two divisions in football). 

2. North Central Kansas League: To place all private schools in the next classification above the 

enrollment based classification. (The Board of Directors took no votes on the proposals, as neither had 

been submitted through the petition process required in the KSHSAA Bylaws.) 

KSHSAA Strategic Planning, School Classification & Public Private School Issues 

Timeline 

June 23, 2010 

Members of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 Executive Boards meet for an all day strategic plan work session. 

During the six hour session, Mr. Musselman presented information on state associations using enrollment 

multiplier formulas in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas and Georgia. Discussion also centered on states that 

have discontinued use of multiplier formulas and states that considered multipliers but chose not to 

implement them. The 2007 Public Private Study Committee report was given an extensive review. Board 

members gave a great deal of attention to the present method of school classification and the number of 

classes in the present system. Kansas demographic factors and changing enrollment patterns were also 

noted. Two questions were identified for the 2010 October regional administrator meetings as a result of 

this special work session. 

1. Should 9 th graders be included in the annual classification count? 

2. Should the 18 week transfer period be extended to one year of ineligibility? 

March 2006 through September 2007 

Eighteen member KSHSAA Public & Private School Study Committee meets five times. Committee 

Charged to: Study the similarities and differences between private and public schools which maintain 

membership in KSHSAA. Final Report published September 26, 2007. Committee’s Conclusion: “The 

Committee recognizes and agrees that inequities exist between member schools; however, not all 

inequalities fall between public and private lines. The numerous factors referenced in this report help 

distinguish one school from another and provide differing opportunities for school communities to achieve 

and grow. The Committee challenges each school to dedicate its efforts in working to achieve the goals 

and principles of a healthy interscholastic program.” 

October 2008 

Executive Board surveys member schools on interest in strategic planning at the seven regional 

administrator and board of education meetings. 

February 2009 

Executive Board conducts two week on-line survey of 779 member schools in preparation for strategic 

planning committee meeting. 51% of senior high schools and 26% of junior high and middle schools 

respond. 

September 2010 

Executive Board received report from Mr. Musselman on the Minnesota State High School League’s 

classification reduction formula as they begin discussion on the participation of low socio economic status 

students. It was the consensus of the Executive Board to use the upcoming regional administrator 

meetings to brief member schools of the possibility of an upcoming study regarding student participation. 

June 11-12, 2009 

Twenty-eight member KSHSAA Strategic Planning Committee meets with facilitator, Marty Hickman, PhD., 

Executive Director of the Illinois High School Association. The Committee develops a new mission 

statement and fifteen belief statements about the KSHSAA for consideration by the Executive Board. The 

Committee also develops seven potential future strategies for the Association to consider. 

October 2010 

The votes from the seven regional administrator meetings, on the following questions were: 

1. Should 9 th graders be included in the annual classification count? Yes 240 No 25 

2. What is the optimum number of classifications? 7classes = 55, 6 classes = 195, 5 classes = 13 

3. In priority order, what are the highest priorities regarding classifications: 

a. Total number of schools in each classification 

b. Enrollment range of schools within the classification 

c. Total number of students in the classification (combined enrollment of all schools in the class) 

4. Should the 18 week transfer period be extended to one year of ineligibility? Yes 89 No 310 

November 2010 

1. Executive Board voted to refer Classification Rule 5 change (count 9 th grade in annual 

classification) to the Board of Directors agenda for final action. 

2. Executive Board voted to conduct an in depth survey of participation by low SES students in all 

member high schools, to determine if a significant disparity exists in the participation rate of that 

population. 

October 2009 

During the regional administrator and board of education meetings, member schools prioritize the seven 

future strategic initiatives identified by the Strategic Planning Committee as follows: (Listed below in 

priority order) 

1. Develop training, recruiting and retention plans for officials and coaches. 

2. Study issues involved in classification of member schools. 

3. Study the influence of club teams, year around sports, specialization of athletes and their effects 

on students and school programs. 

4. Develop a plan to address public/private school issues. 

5. Develop a financial plan to meet the needs of the Association while considering the economic 

implications for member schools. 

6. Continue to evaluate and implement a technology plan to meet the needs of the Association and 

its member schools. 

7. Develop a public relations plan. 

January 2011 

Data from 328 schools responding to the Executive Board’s survey on participation levels of low SES 

students was presented. KSDE data indicates 39.75% of all Kansas high school students qualify for free 

and reduced lunch. The KSHSAA study indicates low SES students participate at a 12% lower rate than 

other students. The Executive Board felt the statistical significance of this finding did not justify 

implementation of an enrollment reduction factor. 

March 2010 

Executive Board hears a presentation from Dr. Kerwin Urhahn, Executive Director of the Missouri High 

School Activities Association on their state’s eight year experience with a 1.35 enrollment multiplier 

adopted in 2002. Finding: “There has been no statistically significant change in the distribution of 

championships won by public and private schools in Missouri over the eight year period.”

15

The Executive Board began discussion on a proposal that would reduce Class 4A from 64 to 48 schools, by 

moving the smallest enrollment 16 Class 4A schools down to Class 3A. This proposal would ripple down 

into classes 2A and 1A by each receiving the 16 smallest schools from the classification above. 

March 2011 

The Executive Board voted to refer the Class 4A proposal (described above), to the April meeting of the 

Board of Directors for discussion only, to be conducted in round table groups. A proposal to remove 

Article 6 from Classification Rule 5, Section 2, by St. John’s Military School was referred to the Board of 

Directors for action. The proposal would eliminate the doubling of enrollments for single gender senior 

high schools. 

April 2011 

By a vote of 64 in favor, none opposed, the Board of Directors voted to modify Classification Rule 5-2, 

Articles 3-6, to include 9 th grade students in the annual classification count. By a vote of 60 in favor, 4 

opposed, the Board also removed Article 6 from Classification Rule 5, eliminating the doubling of the 

enrollment count for St. John’s Military School, as a single gender school. Following a power point 

presentation and overview by President Bill Faflick, David Morford and Bruce Krase, Board of Director 

members engaged in one hour of classification breakout group discussion on the merits of the Class 4-3-2- 

1A proposal. No action was scheduled nor taken. 

September 2011 

By unanimous vote, the Executive Board voted to place the proposal to modify Classes 4A, 3A, 2A & 1A to 

the agenda of the October regional administrator and board of education meetings. 

2011 – 12 classification of schools incorporates 9 th grade count. 3 Non Public schools moved up one 

classification (Wichita - Collegiate-4A, Salina - Sacred Heart-3A, Pittsburg - St. Mary’s Colgan-3A). 2 Non Public 

schools moved down one classification (Salina – St. John’s Military-3A, Prairie Village – Kansas City Christian-2A). 

October 2011 

The proposal to modify Class 4A from 64 to 48 schools, rippling down the smallest 16 4A schools to 3A, 

then 2A, then 1A, was discussed at the regional administrator and board of education meetings, and grass 

roots feedback was gathered through member school votes. The statewide vote of senior high schools on 

the proposal was 103 in favor with 96 schools opposed. Class 4A voted in favor 43-10, Class 3A voted 17 

in favor with 28 opposed, Class 2A voted 20 in favor with 25 opposed, and Class 1A voted 23 in favor with 

33 opposed. 

November 2011 

The Executive Board evaluated the regional meeting statewide vote on the proposal to change 

classification of 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A schools. Noting the overall vote reflected a majority, it was voted to 

refer the proposal to the agenda of the Board of Directors for their action in April of 2012. It was noted 

the Board of Directors would have to vote by a simple majority (51%) to move the proposal to the final 

step in the process outlined in Bylaw Article XII, Section 4. If a majority of the Board of Directors does not 

vote in favor of the proposal, it dies. If the Board of Directors vote is a majority, then a special ballot of all 

schools in the four classifications is required. Bylaw Article XII, Section 4 specifies, “Any proposal, before 

it becomes effective, shall be approved first by the KSHSAA Board of Directors, and second, by a majority 

of all schools affected and a majority of all Classes affected.”
