Outgoing Board President’s MessageBy Dr. Chris Wilson Serving as the 2018-2019 President of the MSHSAA Board of Directors has been an outstanding professional and personal experience. I have grown to appreciate the job Dr. Urhahn and the amazing MSHSAA staff do for students and schools across our great state. It takes many long hours and difficult deci-sions to produce the top notch organiza-tion we have, and I want to Thank You for the time, effort and energy. The group of individuals serving on the
Board of Directors are professionals who strive to do what is right for each and every student and school in order to pro-vide opportunities that will last for a life-time. Students learn and gain so much from participation in MSHSAA sponsored activities, and it is very rewarding to see those individuals reap the benefits of their hard work and dedication. In closing, it has been an honor to serve as the President of the Board of Direc-tors, and will be an experience that will not be forgotten. I encourage you as
member schools to continue to support the great organization available to your stu-dents. Good luck and I hope everyone has a great and success-ful 2019-2020 school year.

By Karissa Niehoff, Executive Direc-tor of the National Federation of State High School Associations and Kerwin Urhahn, Executive Director of the Missouri State High School Activities Association.
Inappropriate adult behavior at high school athletic events in Missouri has reached epidemic proportion.
When more than 2,000 high school athletic directors were asked in a recent national survey what they like least about their job, 62.3% said it was “dealing with aggressive parents and adult fans.”
And the men and women who wear the black and white stripes agree. In fact, almost 80% of officials quit after the first two years on the job, and unruly parents are cited as the reason why. As a re-sult, there is a growing shortage of high school officials here in Missouri, and in some sports like wrestling, swimming, and track and field, the shortage is se-vere. No officials means no more games.
If you are a parent attending a high school athletic event this fall, you can help by following these six guidelines:
1. Act Your Age. You are, after all, an adult. Act in a way that makes your family and school proud.
2. Don’t Live Your Life Vicariously Through Your Children. High school sports are for them, not you. Your family’s reputation is not determined by how well your children perform on the field of play.
3. Let Your Children Talk to the Coach Instead of You Doing It for Them. High school athletes learn how to become more confident, independent and ca-pable—but only when their parents don’t jump in and solve their problems for them.
4. Stay in Your Own Lane. No coaching or officiating from the sidelines. Your role is to be a responsible, supportive par-ent—not a coach or official.
5. Remember, Participating in a High
School Sport Is Not About Getting a Col-lege Scholarship. According to the NCAA, only about 2% of all high school athletes are awarded a sports scholarship, and the total value of the scholarship is only about $18,000.
6. Make Sure Your Children Know You Love Watching Them Play. Do not cri-tique your child’s performance on the car ride home. Participating in high school sports is about character development, learning and having fun—not winning and losing.
Purchasing a ticket to a high school athletic event does not give you the right to be rude, disrespectful or verbally abusive. Cheer loud and be proud, but be responsible and respectful. The future of high school sports in Missouri is depen-dent on you.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSThe following are questions and answers pertaining to the MSHSAA Constitution and By-Laws and/or MSHSAA Board of Direc-tors policy. These are provided as an aid in interpreting the rules and regulations which MSHSAA member schools have adopted. If you have a specific area and/or question which you would like explained, contact Ker-win Urhahn, MSHSAA executive director. Your attention is called to the fact questions and answers regarding interpretations of the MSHSAA Constitution and By-Laws appear following the Constitution Article or By-Law they relate to in the MSHSAA Official Handbook.
Insurance Requirement (By-Law 3.8.2)
Question: The by-laws require that a stu-dent has “basic athletic insurance coverage” before participating in interscholastic sports. What constitutes “basic athletic insurance coverage”?Answer: A student who can provide proof of health insurance, accident insurance that covers competitive and/or contact sports, or some sort of supplemental-type insurance would be considered to be meeting the requirements of this by-law.
Softball Cooperative Sponsorship Options and Seasons
(By-Law 1.4 and 5.1.12)Question: Our school wishes to form a co-operative sponsorship with another school for girls softball, and we plan to play fall softball and enter the championship series. a) May we also play spring softball? b) May we play spring softball as two separate schools?Answer: a) Teams (individual teams or co-op teams) that play fall championship softball can play spring softball but may NOT participate in the spring champion-ship series. b) No, the rationale for co-op approval is that the two schools would not be able to support a team without co-oping; therefore, if two schools co-op for softball in the fall, the co-op would be the only option for spring competition. The two schools could not play spring softball as separate teams.Question: Our school wishes to form a co-operative sponsorship with another school for girls softball, and we plan to play spring softball and enter the championship series. May either school play fall softball?Answer: No, as per By-Law 5.1.12, schools registering for the spring champion-ship series may NOT participate in the fall regular season or fall championship series. Neither school, nor the co-op, could partici-pate in fall softball in this scenario. Further, the rationale for co-op approval is that the two schools would not be able to support a team without co-oping; therefore, approval would not be granted for schools that are co-oping in one season of softball to play separately in the same sport during the op-posite season.
Repeating a Class for Better Grade (By-Law 2.3)
Question: We have a student at our school that took Algebra 2 last year in the spring and earned credit with a C letter grade. He would like to re-take the class this fall for a better grade. If we allow this, will this re-take class count toward academic eligibility for sports and activities?Answer: No. He has already earned credit in the class and earning a better grade will not expand the total number of credits on his transcript. Therefore, that class would count as 0 credits in the calculation of the 80% requirement for the current semester. If he retakes the class, he will need to be in an extra class or two to insure he is enrolled in classes that can earn him the suffi-cient number of new credits that meet the school’s 80% in the current semester.
Academic Requirements – Class and Program Options
(By-Law 2.3)Question: Our school offers the Missouri Option (formerly GED Option) Program. If a student is participating in this program is he/she eligible to participate in interscholastic activities under the jurisdiction of MSHSAA?Answer: Whether a student participating in the Missouri Options Program is eligible under By-Law 2.3 depends on the way the individual school sets up their program. The student must be enrolled in a combination of school classes, outside classes, and/or MO Options credit-bearing course work and/or credit-bearing work study which meets the provisions and minimums listed in By-Law 2.3.4. The student will most likely be classified as a Non-Traditional Option 1 or Option 2 student, depending upon local school decisions and policies. Please follow the guidance regarding those options and the requirements for each. All students (all three options) must meet the 80% require-ment. Question: We have students who work as office assistants and teacher aides. a) Can these offerings count toward eligibility? b) Do students who do not receive credit for working as office assistants and teacher aides have to count the class period in determining their 80% of the maximum al-lowable classes?Answer: a) Yes under specific condi-tions. In order to count toward eligibility, the student must receive class credit for the offering and the credit must be placed on the transcript in order for the student to qualify as a “traditional” student under By-Law 2.3.4. If credit is not provided for these offerings, the student will need to be in additional school classes or outside classes that can be confirmed as getting the student to the minimum credit balance to meet the school’s 80% requirement and qualify as either a traditional student, or one of the two non-traditional student options. In order to be eligible, the student must meet the school’s 80% requirement even if he/she is attempting less credit overall than other students at the school.
Academic Requirements – Confirming Prior Semester 80%
(By-Law 2.3)Question: We have a student that is transferring in this fall and wants to play volleyball. Besides the transfer form prereq-uisite we must complete, we are trying to determine her academic eligibility for the fall season. In the fall, she is going to be a: a) full-time enrolled student, b) a Non-Tradi-tional Option 1 student, c) a Non-Traditional Option 2 student. How do we review and confirm her prior semester’s credits for academic eligibility this fall?Answer: All three academic enrollment options require that the student is enrolled at your school and has a school transcript. Therefore, you must review her prior classes/credits and determine if you can accept transfer credit. The review of prior semester credits (By-Law 2.3.2.a) must be able to confirm that the minimum of 3.0 units of credit, or 80% of what was attempt-ed, whichever is greater, has been achieved and that amount of credit must appear on the transcript. Only with scenario letter “c” will the semester review of classes/credits change after she’s been your student for a semester. If the student is accepted at your school as a non-traditional option 2 student, you may not be placing all credits that are achieved during her first semester at your school on her school transcript. However, all classes/credits must still be approved and validated under local school policy to confirm that she meets the 80% require-ment each and every semester.
Transitioning from Non-Bona fide student to Bona fide student =
Transfer (By-Laws 2.1, 2.3 and 3.10)
Question: We have a student that is enrolled full-time this fall and is playing vol-leyball. Her parents indicate that she will be exclusively homeschooled for the spring semester, and our school is not going to approve credit as a Non-Traditional Option 1 student for her during the spring. She wants to re-enroll full time next fall and play volleyball. Will she be eligible?Answer: Not initially. She will not be a bona fide student at your school during the spring (By-Law 2.1 and 2.3.4); therefore, she becomes a “transfer student” if she re-enrolls in the fall. As a result, her transfer eligibility will have to be addressed before any eligibility can be determined. Further, she may not be academically eligible unless the school can accept credit from the home-schooling onto the transcript for the spring semester.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS/NEWSTransfer Student under a New Enrollment Option
(By-Laws 2.1, 2.3 and 3.10)Question: One of our students will be a senior next year. She is planning to enroll full-time at a junior college in the area, and wants to represent a different high school as a “Non-Traditional Option 1 student” and play sports. The other school has agreed to place her junior college credits on their transcript so she can be a bona fide stu-dent. Will she be eligible to play sports for that school?Answer: Not initially and possibly not at all. Eligibility under all of the essential eligibil-ity standards will have to be confirmed first. The student is a transfer student, so a Transfer of Eligibility request will have to be submitted to MSHSAA for a ruling, and your school will have a chance to reply to it. Fur-ther, academic eligibility must be confirmed (80% requirement for prior semester credits from your school and the same for the fall semester). It is probable that the student will either be ineligible or have an eligibility restriction after making this change.
College/University-Conducted Events
(By-Law 3.11)Question: We have a student that wants to participate in an instructional sports event that is being sponsored by a local University and will be held on their campus. The event takes place during our school season for the same sport. Can the student attend without jeopardizing her eligibility?Answer: Under specific conditions outlined in By-Law 3.11, and with the approval of your school and her coach, it may be pos-sible for the student to participate in the event. Factors affecting the allowance to participate include the specific structure of the event, whether or not the student will miss instructional time to participate, and school permission, among other factors listed in the by-law. Please review By-Law 3.11 closely before advising the student.Junior High Students Practicing with
High School (By-Law 3.16)
Question: Our school holds a Grades 7-12 Combined MSHSAA membership. We do not register for junior high volleyball, but we have a few junior high players that are interested in volleyball. May these players practice with our high school team during the fall?Answer: Under those circumstances, no, the junior high students could not practice with the high school team. However, if you register for volleyball at the junior high level, these enrolled students could practice with the high school team for a maximum of twelve weeks (the limit for a junior high season), and would be covered by the catastrophic insurance as well. It is not required that you schedule a competitive schedule for the junior high players.
Use of Drones (Board Policy)
Question: Our school has an individual in our community who owns and operates a drone that is capable of capturing aerial video footage. This individual has met with our head football coach and offered to vid-eotape our home football games using the drone. Is it permissible to use a drone for videotaping athletic contests?Answer: The use of drones is prohibited at any MSHSAA postseason contest site and/or venue. Drones may be permitted dur-ing the regular season, but only under the conditions described below and only if allow by NFHS rules for the sport. For the sport of football, NFHS Football rules state that there is a two yard restricted area surround-ing the entire playing field. This restricted area boundary is interpreted to extend vertically; therefore, a drone could not be used within the restricted area or over the playing field. It would be a local school level decision as to whether the drone could be used “outside” of this restricted area during a football game. It is recommended that the local school develop a policy regarding the use of drones (a.k.a. UAV’s or UAS’s) which takes the NFHS sport rules regarding the use of electronic devices and the permit-ted location(s) into consideration. Please contact the MSHSAA executive responsible for the particular sport for assistance.
2019 Cross Country Reminders The schools participating in boys and girls cross country are equally divided into four classes based on enrollment of the gender with the larger number of schools participating in the cross country district and state series.

Check ACT & SAT Dates to Avoid Conflicts High school counselors, principals, coaches and directors are urged to remind all high school students of the dates on which the ACT and SAT tests will be administered, as well as the dates of MSHSAA district and state events. MSHSAA event dates are contained in MSHSAA sport and activity manuals, the MSHSAA wall calendar and inside the back cover of the MSHSAA Handbook. High school students participating in interscholastic activities often find conflicts between interscholastic events and the ACT and SAT test dates. Students can avoid this problem by arranging for a test date that does not conflict with an interscholastic event in which they will be participating.

The Show-Me Bowl concept began in St. Louis in 1979. The bringing of all championship games to one site has continued with only slight modifications since then. In 1982, a fifth class was added, and the site was moved to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. In 1982 and 1983, five games were played in one day. In 1984, a two-day format was used. That format was followed until the Board of Directors voted to move the games to the University of Missouri-Columbia and Missouri State University in Springfield in 1988. In 1996, the site of the 11-Man Championship was moved to the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, and in 2002, a sixth class was added with three games played on Friday and three on Saturday at the Dome. In 2016 and 2017 the Show-Me Bowl for Classes 1-5 and 8man/Class 6 rotated between Missouri State University in Springfield and University of Missouri-Columbia. In 1988 an 8-man championship was added and played at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. In 1997, the 8-Man Championship was moved to Tarkio Academy due to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. In 2008, the 8-Man Championship was moved to the Edward Jones Dome. The Show-Me Bowl
was held in the Edward Jones Dome for 20 years.
2019 Show-Me Bowl schedule is as follows:
Saturday, Nov. 30, @ University of Missouri - ColumbiaGame 1: 8-Man Championship @ 11 amGame 2: Class 6 Championship @ 3 pmNote: Game time subject to change

Football Advisory Committee MeetingHeld December 13, 2018
**1. Recommend surveying football schools regarding the current playoff format and considerations for change to the football postseason.
-Do you favor the current playoff format that allows every football school to participate in the playoffs? -Based on the current playoff format, would you favor an alternative to playing postseason games between the #1 & #8
district seed and the #2 & #7 district seed? -Would you favor a different playoff format that resulted in qualifying 32 total teams per Class using the current “point
system”, so long as all football schools are guaranteed a minimum of 10 games? -Would you favor a playoff format that results in eliminating 8 team districts and moving to 14-16 team regions that would
qualify the top 8 teams from each region to the football playoffs using the current points system?

Handling Contests During Hazardous Weather Disturbances The host school principal or designated representative and the head official have mutual authority to delay the start of a game any time weather conditions are considered hazardous to life or limb. Likewise, the head official, once a game has started, has the authority, by rule, to suspend a game any time weather conditions are considered to be hazardous to life or limb. If severe weather develops while a game is in progress where the administration feels safety is questionable and the game officials have not acted, the host principal or his/her designated representative will intervene by informing the head official who shall cause the contest to be suspended. The first step in the suspension is to remove the participants to a location providing shelter and safety until the weather conditions improve to a point where it is safe to resume play. The spectators will be informed of the procedures to be followed and will be instructed to move to protected areas. Fans should not be permitted to remain in the bleachers. The length of the delay shall be determined by the weather conditions, and the game may be resumed at any time the principals of both schools or their designated representatives and the head official agree it is safe to do so. However, if after a delay of a maximum of 30 minutes the hazardous weather has not subsided, the decision to postpone shall be made by the principals of both schools or their designated representatives after consultation with the head official. If there are extenuating circumstances such as extreme travel distances, rescheduling problems, etc., which make it desirable to try to complete the game and the principals of both schools or their designated representatives choose to ask for an additional 30 minutes of waiting time, the head official may grant that request. If the principals of both schools or their designated representatives and the head official cannot mutually agree that the weather conditions are safe, the game shall be postponed. The game may either be considered a completed game at that point or rescheduled at a later time according to game rules. (All regular season senior high school football contests that are postponed shall be rescheduled on the earliest possible date but no later than four calendar days following the original date, and in compliance with the football playoff scheduling regulations.) The purpose of this procedure is to first ensure the safety of the players and spectators, but also to relieve the pressure from the officials before declaring a game suspended. The host principal should, when severe weather is pending, keep a constant check with nearby radio stations which would have information concerning the path of the storm. This constant check, available to the administration, is not available to the game officials. School district emergency plans should include procedures for evacuating players and spectators to protected areas when severe weather occurs.
Policy for Delinquent Submission on the MSHSAA Website of ALL Athletic and Activities Coaches/Directors/Sponsors by SchoolsThe MSHSAA Board of Directors adopted, at its June 15, 2007, meeting, the following policy regarding the delinquent submission on the MSHSAA Website (www.mshsaa.org) of faculty, non-faculty, and non-certified athletic and activities coaches, directors, and sponsors (head and assistant) by member schools. Besides sports, this policy is applicable to music, scholar bowl, spirit teams, and speech, debate, and drama. The policy provides that the school administrator shall enter the required information on all staff members associated with the sport/activity no later than the day prior to the first permissible contest for that sport/activity. Failure of a school to submit information on coaches/directors/sponsors by the established deadline shall result in the school being sent a letter of reprimand. A school shall receive a warning for a second occurrence during the same school year. If a third incidence should occur during the same school year, the school shall be placed on probation for 365 days.

It is important that all counselors be fully knowledgeable of the essential eligibility requirements students must meet to represent the school and participate in interscholastic activities. Counselors are frequently asked by students to advise them on matters dealing with the preparation of, or changes in their class schedules. In doing so, counselors should be sure that they do not advise a course of action which will result in students forfeiting their eligibility to compete in interscholastic athletics or activities through violation of MSHSAA rules of eligibility, e.g. scheduling a course for which the student has already received credit, permitting a student to be scheduled with fewer than five full credit subjects, or the equivalent of work, or permitting a student to drop a course(s) and thereby placing him/her below eligibility requirements. Counselors should discuss eligibility requirements with all students. Member school principals should emphasize to all guidance counselors the importance of having copies of MSHSAA eligibility requirements on file at all times in the guidance offices. A “Checklist for School Counselors” can be found in the August packet provided to all MSHSAA member schools to assist with transfer students. Also, additional forms for helping counselors can be found on the MSHSAA web site. It is strongly recommended that counselors view, “How to Protect Student Eligibility” on the MSHSAA Website (www.mshsaa.org). This on-line review will provide an electronic cover view of important by-laws students, parents, counselors, coaches and administrators need to know.
Guidance Counselors Play Key Role in Communicating Eligibility Rules
By-Law 3.13 provides that a student who is a member of a school sports squad that is in season may practice or compete in organized nonschool competition in a different sport during that school season and may do so on the same day the student practices or plays for the school team provided this dual participation on the same date is approved by the student’s school administrator in advance. Nontraditional sports as defined in By-Law 3.13 are restricted from participation during the respective school season. It is very important to understand the pro-vision continues the restriction contained in By-Law 3.13 which stipulates a student shall
neither practice nor compete as a member of a nonschool team or as an individual partici-pant in organized nonschool competition in that same sport or sport similar in nature such as three-on-three basketball during the school basketball season. By-Law 3.13 permits, during the summer months only (refer to By-Law 3.15), that an individual employed by a school district in any sport may coach a nonschool team which has players from the school team they attend or will attend next year. This provision specifi-cally addresses nonschool competition on a legitimate team designed to compete if the team is not a part of the school program.
By-Law 3.13 (Nonschool Competition) provides exceptions for Individual Sports while in season. Students should discuss participation and the exception with the school coach and athletic administrator. It is suggested that each student athlete and his or her parents receive a copy of the MSHSAA brochure “How to Maintain and Protect Your Eligibility” which contains infor-mation regarding the Nonschool Competition Requirement and other eligibility standards students must meet in order to maintain the privilege to participate in the interscholastic program.

Wrestling Advisory Committee Meeting SummaryNEWS
Sports Medicine Advisory CommitteeHeld March 1, 2018
1. Recommend approving the Sports Medicine Page on the MSHSAA website, which serves as our Sports Medicine Manual.
2. Recommend to add a line to the Return-To-Play form under the Medical Office Information section that allows an additional line to indicate Evaluator’s Specialty.
***3. Recommend the Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer (WBGT) as the recommended measurement device for measuring acceptable heat/ humidity levels for practices and contests. The use of WBGT is recommended throughout the calendar year when ambient temperature is above 80 degrees.
4. The SMAC goes on record in opposition to the Football Advisory Committee’s recommendation for full pad contact during the summertime. SMAC actually suggests restricting full pad contact during the summer more than the current bylaws permit due to concerns of student safety and the concerns for the sport of football in general. The 2018 Annual Questionnaire even indicates that 193 schools either support Thud contact only or no contact at all. This number is greater than those schools that support the Football Advisory Committee’s recommendation (159). Furthermore, there are 244 schools that support an allowance different from that of the Football Advisory Committee’s recommendation.
5. Recommend allowing Dr. Mark Halstead to formulate Return-To-Learn protocols and suggestions as a resource for MSHSAA member schools.
***6. SMAC goes on record having interest of inviting a Mental Health representative to the SMAC meetings as an additional resource on potential discussion topics. This representative will be a voting member of the committee.

Local School Responsible for Conduct at Contests Under By-Law 5.5.1 & Board Policy 38
The MSHSAA Board of Directors policy statement makes it clear that any unsportsmanlike conduct or misconduct of an athlete, coach, student, or fan at the site of an event -- whether it occurs before, during, or after the contest -- is of concern to the Board of Directors and shall be handled in accord with procedures established in the policy. It also reaffirms the expectation that in cases where an athlete is guilty of deliberately striking an opposing player, using profane or vulgar language, or using abusive language toward officials, etc., that the coach will immediately remove the player from that game and not permit the player to participate in the next succeeding game as a minimum penalty. In addition, it provides that if there are extenuating circumstances making the athlete’s conduct more serious, the penalty imposed by the school shall be more severe. The policy continues to stipulate that a substitute shall not enter the playing floor or field should a fight break out among players in the game. It also specifies “and should any substitute leave the bench area to go onto the floor or field in such situations, he or she shall be suspended from the remainder of that game and from the next contest in which the team plays.” Coaches need to make this policy clear to all members of their squads. The Board of Directors policy statement relating to Unsportsmanlike Conduct is included in the policy section located on pages 134-135 of the MSHSAA Official Handbook and in By-Law 5.5.1.
MSHSAA Prescribed Graded Music ListRevisions for 2019-20 This summer the MoASTA (Missouri American String Teachers Association) reviewed the string area of the prescribed graded music list as part of the three year rotation to maintain the list. MoASTA was provided a three year report listing how many times each title was selected for performance at the MSHSAA district and/or state music festivals. The report covered the years 2017-2019. Please check the ‘Music Activities’ page of the MSHSAA website to view what titles have been added for the next three year cycle as well as any current titles that may have been removed. This information should be posted by the end of August. No new literature will be added in the string area until the summer of 2022. You may still submit music for consideration anytime during the next three year period and MSHSAA will hold the music until the summer of 2022 to present to MoASTA for review.

1. Recommend that the Golf Manual clarifies that only state qualify-ing golfers are permitted to play during the Sunday practice round.
2. Recommend to add to Section 5-c-4 the following: Note: In the event that a state championship course is a school’s
home course, the practice facilities (putting green, driving range, chipping green, etc.) may be used by golfers from that school multiple times. Only one practice round on the course is permit-ted as previously noted.
3. Recommend that all District and Sectional hosts are required to submit tentative Local Rules and Notice to Players to all partici-pating schools a minimum of five days in advance of the contest. A finalized Local Rules and Notice to Players must be submitted to all coaches at the Coaches Meeting and to each participat-ing player prior to the start of the tournament. This mandatory requirement for submitting Local Rules and Notice to Player shall also be posted in the MSHSAA Golf Manual and District/Sec-tional Managers Manual.
4. Recommend to edit the live scoring programs and devices lan-guage in the manual as follows:
LIVE SCORING PROGRAMS/DEVICES: Live Scoring pro-grams, which allows golfers coaches or approved personnel, to use an electronic device (cell phone, tablet, etc.) to make live scoring updates during a competition are permitted for both regu-lar season and postseason contests.

MSHSAA Pre-Participation Physical Form and Concussion Information Available Online The new 2019-20 MSHSAA Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE) form and Annual Requirements can be found on our website at www.mshsaa.org by clicking on the SPORTS MEDICINE tab. Use the MSHSAA Resources category on the Sports Medicine page to locate links for the new PPE form and Annual Requirements. The PPE form and Annual Re-quirements are to be completed and submitted to the school administrator. By vote of member schools in April-2019, the PPE form is now valid for a two-year period if approved by a physician. A phy-sician may also restrict a PPE form from being valid for less than a two period. It is very important that school personnel pay specific attention to the area of the PPE form that the physician indicates the duration of which a student athlete has been cleared to participate. There are additional Annual Requirements that must be completed annually by students and parents. These annual requirements include the following: interim medical history, parent permission/insurance information, student agreement, concussion information and emergency contact information.Please note that parents and students are required to sign that they have received and read the MSHSAA materials on concussion which includes information on the definition of a concussion, symptoms of a concussion, what to do if you have a concussion and how to prevent a concussion. This material is located on our website at www.mshsaa.org by clicking on the SPORTS MEDICINE tab. You may also go to the www.nfhslearn.org and view the free-of-charge “Concussion in Sports-What You Need To Know” video.
Pre-Participation Physical Form Required for Athletics, Sideline Cheer and Dance According to MSHSAA By-Laws 3.8.1 and 4.5.4, schools shall require every student participating in spirit activities (sideline cheer and dance teams) and athletics to present a pre-participation physical form stating that he or she is physically able to participate. These By-Laws do not allow for any exceptions to this requirement.
The MSHSAA Pre-Participation Physical form, or something similar, is to be completed prior to the first practice session and should be readily available during all practices and events. It is suggested that schools make copies of the pre-participation form for all participants in these activities and have the forms on file in the school’s central office in case the original forms are lost during a practice session or an out-of-town event. This will serve as a back-up for school personnel and prevent having the participants and physicians complete the form again. It should be noted that any school physical issued on or after February 1, 2018 is valid for the 2018-19 school year.
By-Laws 4.5.4 includes tryouts as a recognized event for sideline cheer and dance teams. School administrator and event sponsors should be certain all students involved in tryouts provide a pre-participation physical form stating the individual is physically able to participate in spirit (sideline cheer or dance) activities as required prior to participating in any activities in preparation for tryouts.

The MSHSAA Board of Directors resolved to purchase the Lifetime Catastrophic Medical and Disability Insurance Plan for the 2019-20 school year. This catastrophic insurance plan underwritten by Mutual of Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska will cover all students while practicing for and/or participating in activities under the jurisdiction of the MSHSAA (e.g., athletics, music, speech, sideline cheerleading, dance teams, academic competition, etc.) during the school year. This will be the 30th year for this particular program in our state. Attention is called to the fact the plan does not include liability insurance for member schools nor does it include a waiver of lawsuit provision. Therefore, school administrators are urged to check your present school district liability insurance policy to make sure participant liability is not excluded in that policy. The plan includes a deductible of $50,000. It will provide excess medical benefits for a student who suffers an accidental injury while practicing for or participating in an interscholastic activity conducted under MSHSAA jurisdiction which results in medical costs exceeding $50,000 within two years from the date of injury. The premium for this coverage is paid by the member school supplementary service fees. The premium rate for 2018-2019 is $5.08 per senior high student athlete and $4.70 per junior high student athlete whose name appeared on the school’s master eligibility rosters for all sports during the 2017-2018 school year. This is an unduplicated count in that a student who participated in two or more sports is counted only once. This fee is the same for junior and senior high schools.
DESCRIPTION OF COVERAGE The Lifetime Catastrophic Injury
Insurance Program will pay benefits, after the $50,000 deductible, for covered losses due to a catastrophic injury in excess of other valid and collectible insurance. Benefit highlights for covered losses are as follows:Benefit Highlights for Covered Losses are as follows:1. Lifetime Medical, Dental and
Rehabilitation Expense Benefit: 100% of reasonable, customary, and necessary covered expenses, with an overall $3,000,000 lifetime limit.
2. $100,000 Lifetime Special Expense Benefit First 10 Years: Home remodeling or adaptation and special vehicle purchase or adaptation; then $50,000 each decade thereafter.
3. $50,000 Lifetime Adjustment Expense Benefit: Family counseling, training and travel in connection with care and rehabilitation of catastrophically injured student; loss of earnings of parents due to catastrophically injured student.
4. Total Disability/Loss of Earnings Benefit: A catastrophically injured student who is totally disabled at age 18 may receive $2,000 per month for Life.
5. Partial Disability Benefit: A partially disabled student may receive $750 per month for Life.
6. $20,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment/Cash Benefit.
7. $365,000 Extended Care Facility Benefit per calendar year.
8. Education expense of $50,000 Lifetime for tuition, room/board, and other related education expenses.
9. Benefits are paid to a catastrophically injured student regardless of liability. No waiver/release is required to receive benefits.
TOURNAMENT COVERAGE A feature of the 2019-20 statewide insurance plan provided through the MSHSAA is Tournament Play Coverage. This coverage provides benefits on an excess basis for the first $50,000 of medical and rehabilitation expenses incurred as a result of an injury that is sustained while a student-athlete is participating in an MSHSAA sponsored district and/or state tournament contest after a $100 deductible has been met.
REPORTING POTENTIAL CLAIM OCCURRENCES DURING POLICY EFFECTIVE PERIOD If a student suffers an accidental injury under the above described circumstances and might incur $50,000 or more in medical expenses within two years from the date of the injury or if the student is injured while participating in an MSHSAA sponsored district and/or state tournament game, contact the claim Administrator at the address listed below and instructions for filing the school’s claim will be forwarded to the school district:Dissinger Reed, LLC8700 Indian Creek Pkwy, Suite 320Overland Park, KS 66210800-386-9183 or 913-491-6385
OPTIONAL COVERAGE AVAILABLE An individual school or district may, by application and payment of additional premium, purchase optional coverage for school sponsored student activities not under the jurisdiction of the Missouri State High School Activities Association. Each member school may go to the web site at www.dissingerreed.com for information on the optional extended coverage directly from the MSHSAA’s plan administrator, Dissinger Reed Insurance Services.

with MSHSAA By-Laws. School districts not sponsoring junior high sports should make this extra effort so the student has every opportunity through the By-Laws to participate. Records should be checked and students advised of their academic status and eligibility. It should not be assumed that a student and his/her parents know the eligibility status based on academics. It is the responsibility of the principal to certify that the information furnished on the master eligibility rosters is absolutely accurate and that the students whose names appear on those lists are eligible in accordance with all the provisions of the MSHSAA By-Laws. All member school administrators are reminded that a master eligibility roster is to be filed with the MSHSAA according to the schedule in By-Law 3.4. Also, a copy can be viewed on-line by member schools which desire to review the eligibility roster before the date of each game. In accord with MSHSAA By-Law 3.4, no athlete shall be considered eligible to represent his/her school until the student’s name is filed on the master eligibility roster supplied by the
Principals of member schools should have all eligibility rosters carefully checked to be sure that the name of no overaged student or a student not meeting the academic requirements appears on a list. Any student who becomes 19 years of age on or before July 1 is ineligible. Any junior high school student who becomes sixteen years of age on or before July 1 and any middle school students who becomes 15-years-old on or before July 1 is ineligible for interscholastic athletic competition during the 2018-19 school year. Students in the junior high/middle school who exceed the age limits may be moved up to participate with the appropriate age group. By-Law 3.5 has been amended to permit an overaged eighth grader attending a school which goes only to grade eight to participate at the high school he/she will attend the next year. This practice allows the students maximum opportunities for eligibility. School administrators are reminded that By-Law 3.5, Age Standard, provides that students who exceed the age limit for participation in a particular grade are permitted to participate up to the next grade level where chronological age would place them. Schools should develop and implement a procedure whereby these youngsters are identified and informed of the By-Law and the option to play with the next grade. The provision, when applied correctly, will permit all youngsters two years of potential participation at the seventh and eighth grade team level and four years of potential eligibility at the senior high level. Schools not identifying and informing these students are not providing them with an equitable opportunity to participate in accord
MSHSAA and exchanged with opposing schools requesting it. Additions to the roster can be made a day before the date of any contest. Master eligibility rosters are to be submitted on-line for all athletes and activities following the schedule below:

BOARD OF DIRECTORSRules Meeting every other year; 2) once an official reaches 25 years of service (not sport specific), they should choose which sport’s State Championship they would like to be recognized. Staff amended #2 to add a minimum of 5 years to be registered in the sport chosen. Denied recommendation #1 and approved recommendation #2 as amended from the Officials Advisory Committee. Stahl presented three recommendations to the Board from the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee: 1) approving the Sports Medicine Page on the MSHSAA website to serve as the Sports Medicine Manual; 2) new language for the PPE as state below to replace first paragraph on page four. Proposed New Language: “In the event of an emergency or when the Parent(s) or Guardian is unable to directly supervise healthcare services needed by the student for injuries or illnesses sustained at any athletic practice, conditioning exercise or contest, I also give my consent to the rendering of necessary healthcare services for the student by a qualified provider (QP) covering the athletic practice conditioning exercise or contest, including an athletic trainer, physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or other medically-trained professional licensed by the State of Missouri (or the state in which the student injury or illness occurs) and who is acting in accordance with the scope of practice under their designated state license and any other requirement imposed by state law. In emergency situations, the QP may also be a certified paramedic or emergency medical technician for the purpose of providing emergency healthcare and transport. Healthcare services are defined as services including, but not limited to, evaluation, diagnosis, first aid, emergency care, stabilization, treatment, and referral. I further authorize the QP who provides such healthcare services to disclose such information about the student’s injury or illness, diagnosis, care and treatment in the professional judgment of the QP to the student’s athletic director, coaches, school nurse and nay classroom teacher required to provide academic accommodation to assure the student’s recover and safe return to activity. If the Parent(s) or Guardian believes that the student is in need of further evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation or healthcare services for the injury or illness, the student may be treated by the physician or provider of his or her choice.” 3) Recommend that MSHSAA member schools use a separate set of Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer Readings for middle school athletics versus high school athletics. Approved all three recommendations of
the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. Stahl presented the Board with six recommendations from the Wrestling Advisory Committee: 1) using 12 weight classes for the 2019-20 girls wrestling season; 2) using female weight assessments for determining the 12 girls weight classes which may change what the actual 12 weight classes are for the 2019-20 girls wrestling season; 3) having a formal by-law interpretation posted on the wrestling page of the MSHSAA website for In-season Jamborees for the sport of Wrestling with the use of weight classes, simulated matches counting or not counting against individual match limits during a season, weighing in, etc.; 4) adding the following language to the district host selection criteria: After one school has hosted for two consecutive years and there are other schools in the district that meet the minimum criteria and want to host the district, the district host site will be moved; 5) to qualify 16 state qualifiers per weight class and medal the top six at each weight class for girls wrestling, knowing that additional qualifiers will restrict and eliminate on mat warm-up time between rounds during the state tournament; 6) the state finals format continue to leave the girls mat in the center with Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 remaining placed around the center mat. Approved recommendations #1, #2, #5, and #6 and denied recommendations #3 and #4 of the Wrestling Advisory Committee. Seifert informed the Board that Gateway High School was the only school that did not complete officials evaluations by the deadline.
