WICHITA MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETIC LEAGUE

The Kansas State High School Activities Association Handbook rules for middle schools will be followed in all activities except in the areas where we have stricter regulations. (Please note eligibility requirements, length of season of sport, number of games which may be played, order of events, age limits, etc.) KSHSAA rules are constantly being changed, so check with the current year KSHS AA Handbook and updates provided at www. KSHS AA.org.

Schools are responsible for submission of all required forms directly to KSHSAA. These forms are found on the KSHSAA web site using school login at www.kshsaa.org. These specific forms include eligibility CM/J,CMJ1, CMJ2, T-E, and sport specific tests required for all head coaches. Access to the site is available via school specific user name and password sent each summer to the school principal. Please contact the district athletic office for help accessing/completing these forms. Please maintain confidentiality in regards to both the administrative and the school password.

Middle school academic eligibility is predicated on the student passing a minimum of five subjects of unit weight the previous semester. First semester eligibility is determined by the final grades at the conclusion of the previous school year. Second semester eligibility will be based on the grades posted for the second nine weeks grading period unless a semester grade is posted. If a semester grade is recorded for select courses, the semester grade should be used.

Prior to the first contest of each sport, each school must submit to the KSHSAA the Certificate of Eligibility, Form CM/J, for all sports participants.

Participation in the middle school interscholastic athletics program is open to both seventh and eighth grade students.

Age limits for interscholastic competition: Any student who reaches the age of fifteen on or before August 01 of this school year, shall be ineligible for eighth grade competition; Any student who reaches the age of fourteen on or before August 01 of this year, shall be ineligible for seventh grade competition. See KSHSAA middle school regulations in the current handbook. ANY violations of the regulations in this handbook should be reported to the Director of Athletics and must be documented.

No practice of any sort will be held on days when school is not in session district-wide. No competitive team is to practice or compete without a coach or school official in attendance.

Head coaches are required to complete the KSHSAA Rules meeting, Coaches may satisfy attendance requirements by completing the on-line version of the rules meeting found on the KSHSAA web. Assistant coaches are not required, but are encouraged to participate as well.

Medals, emblematic of championships, are to be provided by the district athletic office. The number of participants earning emblem certificates shall be determined by the coach and the principal. Certificates are available from the district athletic office upon request.

Athletic awards in cross country, volleyball, basketball, and track shall be an emblem certificate which entitles the recipient to wear a 6-inch block letter. Provision of a letter is left to the discretion of the school.

2

Normally, students attending athletic events shall not be dismissed before the close of school.

W here private cars are used for transportation, the adult driver and car must meet BOE policy #1383.

PARENTAL PERMIT/PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

The examination shall not be taken earlier than May 1 of the previous school year.

YELL LEADERS

Yell leaders shall include both seventh and eighth grade student members of the pep club. Tryouts shall not be conducted. Middle schools should make this opportunity available to as many students desiring to participate as possible. While there is no limitation on the total number of yell leaders, only a m axim um of six f rom each school m ay be on the f loor at any gi ven tim e.

FINANCES

Admission to all middle school athletics contests will be $2.00 for adults: $1.00 for students. Senior Citizens, who present their medicare card, are not to be charged admission. Children age five and under are admitted at no charge. Admission will not be charged at district hosted cross country meets. GWALVIP and Gold passes should be honored for district Middle School games. Staff members from participating schools will be admitted at no charge.

After all expenses are paid, the net gate receipts from contests will be pooled and equally divided among the league member schools. (Schools playing faculty games on "bye" dates may retain the money from these games.) Schools who fail to collect admission may compromise their portion of the gate split.

In general, middle school volleyball, basketball, and track management expenses are reimbursable. The procedure for requesting reimbursement is as follows:

1. A completed contest financial report must be mailed to the Athletic Office by the

2. The standard, regular expense items as indicated on the Financial Report form are

reimbursable for scheduled contests. 3. Reimbursement will not be provided for the fundraising games (alumni, faculty,

etc.) scheduled during bye week.

KSHSAA Sportsmanship/Citizenship - Rule 52 INTRODUCTION

The effective American secondary school must support both an academic program and an activities

program. We believe that these programs must do more than merely coexist-they must be integrated

and support each other in “different” arenas. The concept of “sportsmanship” must be taught,

modeled, expected and reinforced in the classroom and in all competitive activities. Therefore, all

Kansas State High School Activities Association members stand together in support of the

following sportsmanship policy.

PHILOSOPHY

Activities are an important aspect of the total education process in the American schools. They

provide an arena for participants to grow, to excel, to understand and to value the concepts of

SPORTSMANSHIP and teamwork. They are an opportunity for coaches and school staff to teach

and model SPORTSMANSHIP, to build school pride, and to increase student/community

involvement; this ultimately translates into improved academic performance. Activities are also an

opportunity for the community to demonstrate its support for the participants and the school, and to

model the concepts of SPORTSMANSHIP for our youth as respected representatives of society.

Sportsmanship is good citizenship in action!

Section 1 - General Regulations (apply to grades7-12)

Art. 1: SPORTSMANSHIP is a general way of thinking and behaving. The following

sportsmanship policy items are listed below for clarification:

a. Be courteous to all (participants, coaches, officials, staff and fans).

b. Know the rules, abide by and respect the official’s decisions.

c. Win with character and lose with dignity.

d. Display appreciation for good performance regardless of the team.

e. Exercise self-control and reflect positively upon yourself, team and school.

f. Permit only positive sportsmanlike behavior to reflect on your school or its activities.

Art. 2: Enforcement Procedure:

a. It is encouraged and recommended by the Kansas State High School Activities Association that

local boards of education adopt these regulations and reinforce them as indicated herein.

b. The Executive Board of the Kansas State High School Activities Association shall be

responsible for the interpretation of these regulations, including “desirable and unacceptable

behavior” and shall publish them in the Association’s Sportsmanship/Citizenship Manual.
