SEE PAGE 2. October, 2011 Page 2 RECLASSIFICATION: Doing What Is Best For All W e have an old Web- ster’s dictionary here at the AHSAA that I occasionally use. Its copyright says 1965 and the name written in the front cover says Cliff Harper, who was the first full-time executive director of the AHSAA. Mr. Harper’s dictionary defines conundrum as ―an intricate and difficult problem.‖ Come to think of it, conundrum sounds like the perfect synonym for reclassification. Indeed, reclassification is an intricate and difficult problem – one the AHSAA undertakes every two years in order to maintain a competitive balance among our member schools. It’s an intricate and difficult problem because there are so many variables that must be considered in the process. I often hear from superintendents, principals, athletic directors and coaches who offer their thoughts on reclassification. It’s clear from their input what our member schools feel are the top priorities in reclassification: Scheduling Shorter travel Keeping traditional rivalries The AHSAA formed a committee of superintendents, principals and coaches that discovered the complexities and intricacies associated with reclassification. Their consensus was to have the AH- proposals to the Central Board at its Nov. 16 meeting unless there is a delay in the accurate reporting of data. During the development of the proposals, the AHSAA spent numerous hours assessing and evaluating the classification systems used in other state associations. It’s interesting to note that our neighboring association in Georgia has recently adopted a six classification system very similar to ours. Georgia faces some of the same challenges we do. The southern half of Alabama is much more Steve Savarese sparsely populated than the northExecutive Director ern half. That makes reclassification more difficult for the smaller SAA and the Central Board classifications and for the larger look at a number of possible schools located in Mobile and classification systems – while Dothan. not being afraid to think outAnother important factor that side the box – and understand must be considered is the importhat there is not a system that is tance of football to our member perfect for every member schools.

October, 2011 ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 242367 Montgomery, AL Zip: 36124-2367 Phone: 334-263-6994 Fax: 334-387-0075 E-mail: [email protected] Page 3 AHSAA Corporate Partner Spotlight is in its fifth year as an AHSAA corporate sponsor, and we are pleased to be working closely again with the Alabama High School Athletic Association. The partnership helps us bridge the gap between sports news and the high school athletes and coaches in our stories. AHSAA events like All-Star Sports Week and the al.com Champions Challenge allow us to get to know the coaches and the players, and they become much more to us than just names printed in articles. Our site highschoolsports.al.com is about news, but it’s also about community – the sports community that is especially tight-knit in Alabama. And that community is growing with highschoolsports.al.com seeing a 40percent increase in traffic since last year, and al.com is always working on new ideas to build that number even more. At the beginning of football season, al.com introduced its High School Sports app, a free download available for iPhone and Android. Users can submit scores and notes for the game they are attending, and they can also keep up with other games across the state. The app has experienced great success with more than 4,000 downloads and more than 1,000 score submissions by Week 5 from users on their smartphones in the stands. Another new venture for al.com this fall is our Game of the Week. Our affiliate newspapers – the Mobile Press-Register, Birmingham News and Huntsville Times – do a good job of reporting on the football games in their coverage areas, but that still leaves a lot of high schools in the state needing exposure. And although we can’t attend every single game each Friday, al.com tries to choose a Game of the Week that wouldn’t otherwise get coverage on our website. An al.com team travels to the games to provide photos and videos, and so far, a game recap has been provided each week by a local newspaper. al.com’s first five Games of the Week were Hackleburg at Marion County (Week 1), Central-Phenix City at Opelika (Week 2), Winterboro at Talladega County Central (Week 3), Mountain Brook at Homewood (Week 4) and Lineville at Clay County (Week 5). We can’t wait to see where five more weeks of football will take us. We encourage parents, coaches, students and fans to sign up to report for their high schools to ensure their teams are getting maximum coverage on al.com. Almost 900 trusted community users have registered for accounts to submit game previews and recaps, stats, photos and more. You can request an account at highschoolsports.al.com/reporter.

October, 2011 Page 6 Schools Must Sanction Most Multi-Team Events AHSAA member schools are required to sanction certain events, either with the AHSAA or with the NFHS, depending on the make-up of the teams competing in the event. That is why this month’s AHSAA rule of emphasis is contest sanctioning. A couple if key items schools must remember when putting together a school team schedule is multi-team competition. Joe Evans AHSAA rules state that Associate Executive no interscholastic athletic Director events involving more than two teams shall be permitted without the official sanction of the AHSAA. There are some exceptions. Volleyball, wrestling, track tri-matches, golf and cross country tri- and quadmatches, swimming tri-meets and track four-way meets do not have to be sanctioned during regular season play. However, if a school hosts an event with more than two teams that does not fall under the exemptions, the school is required to go on line to the AHSAA website’s member section and follow the simple instructions for requesting sanction. There are basically three types of sanctions. The first is an event that consists of all Alabama schools. The second is one that includes Alabama schools and schools from bordering states. And the third is events including schools from non-bordering states. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) requires its approval when an event includes schools from outside Alabama and its bordering states. It is important to remember that any AHSAA member school that goes to an event outside the state must make sure the event has been sanctioned by the NFHS and all AHSAA rules and regulations concerning contest restrictions must still be followed. That means currently no interscholastic contest may be scheduled on Sunday for AHSAA member schools without prior approval of the AHSAA Central Board. This includes summer play as well. AHSAA member schools are only allowed to play other member schools. Contests with out-ofstate teams are prohibited with schools that are not members of their state association affiliated with the NFHS or with schools that are under suspension. Violation of these regulations could result in fines and other penalties and are sufficient grounds for suspension from the AHSAA. Member high schools may not engage in practice contests between schools at any time during the school year, which begins when with the first fall practice date each year. It also behooves schools going to events at other AHSAA member schools to insure that those events have been sanctioned by the AHSAA. Any schools participating in an unsanctioned event are subject to fines and other penalties. Remember too that all events must be sanctioned by a host school even when outside groups are putting on the event. A list of sanctioned events is available for viewing at www.ahsaa.com . Just go to the sanction link on the front page and then follow the prompts to check out the events, by sport, that have currently been approved by the AHSAA . The AHSAA Sanction Rule (Rule III – Contests – Section 3) can be found in the 2011-12 AHSAA Handbook on page 37. The process is simple and listed below. SECTION 3. SANCTIONING REQUIREMENTS. No interscholastic athletic event involving more than two teams shall be permitted without the official sanction of the AHSAA. Volleyball, wrestling and track tri-matches, golf and cross country tri and quad-matches, swimming tri-meets and track four-way meets do not have to be sanctioned during regular season play. Sanction request procedures: (1) Event with only Alabama Schools—Request online (AHSAA member section). (2) Event with schools from bordering states: Print Form 9, complete and fax or mail to the AHSAA office at least 30 days prior to the date of the event. (3) Event with schools from non-bordering states that needs NFHS approval: Request online at www.nfhs.org under Sports, then Sanctioning. October, 2011 October, 2011 Page 7 AHSADCA 4th Annual Coaches Mini-Clinic Series Set To Begin In October The Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association will commence its fourth annual MiniClinic Coaching Series this month. Basketball will begin the series Oct. 6 featuring clinicians John Brannen, assistant coach at the UniSteve Bailey Director, AHSADCA versity of Alabama, and Barry Mohun, Shelton State Community College basketball coach. The mini-clinic series will once again be held at the AHSAA office located at 7325 Halcyon Summit Drive in Montgomery. Attendees will be treated to lectures and on-court demonstrations at Auburn University at Montgomery in the afternoon session. The series will continue on Oct. 20 with the Wrestling Mini-Clinic. Highly regarded Jamie Milkovich from Maple Heights (Ohio) High School will be with us for a morning of teaching. His session will be followed by on-themat demonstrations at Saint James High School. Hall of Fame Nominations Due We want to remind AHSAA member schools the deadline for submitting AHSAA Sports Hall of Fame nominations is Oct. 15. Selections will take place in November and the Class of 2012 will be inducted next March. Many individuals have made and continue to make outstanding contributions to the schools of Alabama through their extraordinary efforts as coaches, administrators, officials, news media, or supporters. Because their extra efforts, dedication and desire have enabled them to excel in achievement, this excellence should stand out as shining examples for others to emulate. In order to recognize this excellence, the Alabama High School Sports Hall of Fame was established with the first class being selected in 1991. The Hall of Fame induction banquet has continued to be one of the high points of the AHSADCA each year. We look forward to seeing another outstanding class enshrined and encourage schools to nominate candidates they deem worthy of this honor. Alabama All-Star Team Selected The Alabama football team for the 25th annual Alabama / Mississippi All-Star Game to be held on December 10 at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery has been selected and will be announced in the coming weeks once all details have been finalized. Alabama’s head coach is Jere Adcock of Decatur. 2011-2012 Mini-Clinic Coaching Series Basketball Wrestling Tennis Track Baseball Soccer Softball Volleyball Football Golf Oct. 6, 2011 Oct. 20, 2011 Nov. 17, 2011 Nov. 29, 2011 Jan. 6, 2012 Jan. 12, 2012 Jan. 19, 2012 Feb. 7, 2012 Feb. 8, 2012 Feb. 9, 2012 Page 8 October, 2011 Volleyball Season Gearing For Post Season My how the 2011 volleyball season has flown by. We are now about to move into the post-season phase as teams prepare for area tournaments, regional tournaments, the substate playoff round and, of course, the Elite Eight State Championships. It is important for each coach to go on line and make sure your roster for post-season play has been finalized and that all fields on that roster are filled out properly, including jersey number, student name, student grade in school, student position and student height. Volleyball coaches who advance their teams to regional tournament play will also need to send a team photograph in a jpeg format via email to Elite Eight Souvenir Program editor Dennis Victory as well as a correct roster. Just email to Mr. Victory at [email protected] by Monday, Oct. 17, 10 a.m. All hotel and rooming information will be posted on the Volleyball page of the AHSAA website. Hotel assignments will be posted on the website after the sub-state match. The head coach of each participating team MUST attend the dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the Pelham Civic Complex. We wish all of you much success in the playoffs and good luck in the final weeks. Volleyball Grant Deadline October 15 For the 14th consecutive year, Wilson Sporting Goods will provide six Wanda Gilliland Wilson VolAssistant leyball Grants Director to AHSAA member schools. Wilson has awarded these need-based grants worth a total of $39,000 since 1994. The grants, totaling $3,000 annually, have provided a ball cart and volleyballs for 78 high schools. One school in each of the AHSAA’s six classifications is selected to receive a grant each year. Schools may apply on line at www.ahsaa.com using the application found in the member section. Deadline for application is Oct. 15. These grants have been very important in helping some of our member schools develop volleyball programs for their studentathletes. We can’t thank Wilson enough for their dedication to helping the game of volleyball in our state and for all that they do for our member schools. Anyone with questions or needing assistance can contact the AHSAA at 334-263-6994 or by email at [email protected]. Entry Fees Waived For Some Sports We are happy to report that entry fees are no longer required for state cross country and swimming meets under a new Central Board policy approved earlier this summer. The Central Board approved eliminating entry fees for state championship events (finals) that require an admission charge, a tremendous savings to our member schools. Only golf and tennis state finals now continue to require entry fees. That means the 2011 AHSAA State Cross Country Championships to be held at Oakville Indian Mounds Park & Museum near Moulton on Nov. 12 will be entry fee free to participating schools for the first time. Admission to the championships will be $8 per ticket at this year’s State Cross Country Championships.

With that in mind, it is important for everyone to understand exactly how contest officials for playoff games are assigned. At the Saturday morning meeting for the first round of the playoffs, the Greg Brewer AHSAA Director of OffiAHSAA cials will collect a scratch Director of Officials list of officials from the playoff coaches and a master list will be compiled and emailed to all district directors. Playoff games will then be assigned to district officials’ directors. These assignments will be emailed to the directors no later than the Monday morning prior to the playoff game. The district directors will assign individuals, by crew, to work the assigned games. A scratched official will not be assigned to a game involving a school that has exercised their option to scratch that official. Also, no official will be assigned to a game involving the same school (home or visitor) in back-to-back weeks. Each assigned official in all rounds of the playoffs, including the Super Six, must have worked a minimum of six AHSAA varsity games during the regular season with at least four of the games being at the assigned position. The assigned officials (or their designee) will be responsible for contacting the host school of each game assigned to them by the Tuesday morning prior to the playoff game, notifying the school of the names of the officials working the contest. Payment must be made to each individual official according to the fee list below. A mileage allowance will be included in the game fee payment. The host school will pay the officials on-site by check or online via RefPay/Arbiter and account for those payments in the game report submitted to the state office. All chain crews will be assigned based on the host school contract (no mileage allowance). The required electric clock operator (ECO) will also be assigned based on the host school contract (no mileage allowance). The game fee per official for the first four rounds will be $65 plus the mileage allowance. The game fee per official for the Super Six will be $70 plus the mileage allowance. The mileage allowance for contest officials for first- and second-round playoff games is $10 per official. For quarter-final playoff games, the mileage allowance is $15. Semi-final playoff games are $20 and the Super Six is $30. The mileage allowances are the same for fivemember or seven-member crews. Geographic location will be used in the selection process for the first two rounds. Subsequent rounds will also take this factor into consideration. All individuals assigned will be placed in five-member crews for the first four rounds, plus an ECO. If both schools agree, a sevenmember crew may be assigned plus an ECO. The Super Six will use seven-member crews plus an ECO. Our goal for the future is to assign sevenmember crews and an ECO for all playoff rounds, possibly as early as 2012. Game Communication Experiment During the Oak Mountain vs. Thompson football game Sept. 30, 2011, the AHSAA tested a crew communication system for contest officials. If the system proves to be useful and is affordable, it may be used in the AHSAA Super Six and other events. We hope it allows crew members to alert each other to potential conduct -related activities on the field as well as the penalty administration of the game itself. October, 2011 Page 10 High Schools To Receive Revenue Shares This Month School Revenue Sharing Checks To Be Mailed In October For the second straight year, the AHSAA will be mailing revenue sharing checks to member schools totaling approximately $1.2 million. The program, approved by the Central Board prior to the 2010-11 school year, will have paid out $2.4 million to member schools once this year’s payments are received. The checks are scheduled to be mailed sometime this month. The formula for the distribution of funds includes a differential between classes and the number of sports played by non-football playing schools. ―This is another great moment for AHSAA member schools,‖ said Executive Director Steve Savarese, who proposed the Revenue Sharing Plan to the Central Board last year. The plan returns excess funds back to the schools when the AHSAA has at least one year’s working capital in reserve. ―Once again this will bring some welcome help to our member schools,‖ Savarese said. Dr. James Robinson Being Honored by UA Community Health Services Longtime AHSAA Medical Advisory Board member Dr. James B. Robinson will be named by the University of Alabama’s College of Community Health Services on Oct. 7 as The University of Alabama Endowed Chair in Sports Medicine for Family Physicians. The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m., under the tent at the College of Community Health Sciences on the campus of UA in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Robinson, who has practiced medicine for more than 26 years, has a family practice in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Robinson is the Fellowship Director of the University of Alabama Primary Dr. James Robinson Care Sports Medicine Program. He is also a Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Tuscaloosa. He also serves as the Head Team Physician for the University of Alabama and has taken care of athletes of all ages and skill levels for the past 22 years in Tuscaloosa. He can be seen on Friday nights on the sidelines at high school football games. He works with numerous high school, collegiate, professional and international athletes and has served as a team physician for the United States Olympic Team in 2000 in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Robinson has served as a member of the teaching faculty at the University Medical Center since 1989 where he has helped teach numerous residents and medical students the art of being a team physician as well as a family physician. The AHSAA congratulates Dr. Robinson on this important recognition and thanks him for his many years of service to the AHSAA’s member schools and to the AHSAA Medical Advisory Board. He has been a major contributor to the formation of the current AHSAA medical policies including designing the pre-participation physical form that is used by all member schools. October, 2011 Page 11 Musco Sports Lighting Technology Going Green Innovative sportslighting systems can be a key opportunity for state high school organizations interested in satisfying environmental concerns and saving money. THEN: Sports lighting involves projecting light over long distances. In prior generation systems, this resulted in about 25 percent of the total light generated by the luminaires landing on the playing surface. The rest went into the sky or on adjacent property as wasted spill light and light pollution. To compensate for the wasted light, additional luminaires were necessary to achieve the desired light levels for play. NOW: Today, thanks to advances in the reflector system efficiencies and aiming design, as much as 70 percent of the light generated can be directed onto the playing surface with state-ofthe-art Musco Lighting systems. As a result fewer fixtures are needed to purchase, install, and operate. All sports lighting systems differ, so consider environment, playability and budget to help ensure you’re getting a lighting system that fits your needs. PLAYABILITY: Balancing energy efficiency, environmental concerns, and costs are big considerations, but determining the quantity and quality of light necessary for your facility is just as important. Desired amount and quality of light can be determined by considering several factors including sport type, player skill level, field size, spectator capacity and any videotaping requirements. It’s important to make sure your system is designed to provide target footcandles to ensure the light you purchased is maintained over the life of your lighting system. Maintaining both quality and quantity of light on the field over time is impacted by equipment design as well as maintenance practices. With Musco’s Constant 25™ warranty, proper maintenance and the overall performance of the lighting installation can be greatly improved. BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: Sports lighting budget considerations should include the capital cost and longterm costs of operating, maintaining, and managing the system. Routine maintenance and unexpected repair costs can add up if the lighting system is poorly designed from an electrical and structural standpoint. However, a system that is energy efficient and easy to operate and maintain can become part of a program’s success story. ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION: Energy efficiency presents the largest opportunity for cost savings. By choosing environmentally friendly Musco sports lighting for their Warhill Sports Complex, James County (VA) predicts it will save about $404,000 in energy and operating costs over the next 25 years. Another factor contributing to these savings is the purchase of the control and monitoring system along with the lights. With Musco’s Control-Link®, lights can be scheduled via web, phone, fax, or email to be turned on only when the field is in use. If a game is unexpectedly rained out, officials can simply phone into the control center to have the lights turned off instantly. Balancing your lighting needs with environmental concerns doesn’t have to be difficult. Thanks to advancements in sports-lighting technology that Musco has spent millions of dollars developing, lighting that provides ideal playing conditions for your team can also help to preserve the environment for tomorrow’s athletes.
