4.
5.
6.
Coaches may observe competition.
A coach’s high school candidates must constitute the minority of
those:
- taking part in any sport’s program;
- competing on any team at any moment.
In sports individual in nature or involving a series of scoring events:
candidates of that high school coach must be fewer than 50% of all
those participating.
Coaches who give private lessons may provide that service provided:
- private lessons are open to all;
- candidates represent fewer than 50%;
- candidates – no special consideration
During the academic year, no member of your coaching staff may be
involved with out-of-season teams of any sport (except as permitted
above)
During the summer only, members of your coaching staff may work
with student-athletes of any sport, other than their own (and as
permitted above)

GOOD CITIZEN RULE 63
63.1 Student-athletes may not represent
their school if they are on in-house or
out-of-house disciplinary suspension. A
suspended student is ineligible for
practice or competition for at least the
number of days (or partial days) equal
to the number of days of the suspension.
Local policies will determine the actual
days of ineligibility. (The Board of
Directors suggests that policies be
included in local Student Handbooks.)

WORTH REMEMBERING
1.
Grade point averages (GPA) of students improve during seasons in
which they are participating in athletics.
2.
Overall 65% of all students are participants in MIAA interscholastic
athletic programs.
3.
Student-athletes have higher attendance and graduation rates than
non-athletes.
4.
95% of corporate officers report that they had participated in high
school athletics.
5.
High school athletic programs are cost effective. They typically make
up one to three percent of the local school budget.
6.
High school activity programs often represent the best drop-out
prevention, crisis intervention, day care, and drug prevention
programs which a community can offer, and the cost per student is
minimal.
7.
If school activity programs are to be justified they must contain
fundamental educational components. Be certain such is the case in
your school.
