EXPECT GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP
The Minneapolis Public Schools have adopted a mission statement for sportsmanship:
“The ideals of good sportsmanship, ethical behavior and integrity permeate our culture. The values of good citizenship and high
behavioral standards apply equally to all activity disciplines. In perception and practice, good sportsmanship shall be defined as
those qualities of behavior which are characterized by generosity and genuine concern for others. Good sportsmanship is viewed
by the National Federation as a concrete measure of the understanding and commitment to fair play, ethical behavior and
integrity.”
Our society has a history of discrimination in sports against females, racial minorities and the disabled. It is our responsibility to recognize
and correct this in our small worlds, on our teams and in our neighborhoods.
TOURNAMENT SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS
The Minnesota State High School League, through its sportsmanship program, recognizes and rewards school sports teams which display
good sportsmanship while competing in specific state championship tournaments.
Sportsmanship banners may be awarded during the following state tournaments: girls’ volleyball, girls’ gymnastics, wrestling, hockey, girls’

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
Effective Fall 2011
A.
A student who wishes to participate must achieve at least a 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) on the last report card prior
to the season or activity period. If a report card is issued during a season or activity period, a student must remain
eligible in order to participate. Because winter and spring activities, in most cases, begin prior to the end of the grading
period which determines eligibility for the major part of the season, an individual will be allowed to try out and practice,
but not participate in games or other competitions until grades are available for the grading period in question. Students
who then become ineligible will not be allowed to continue to practice/participate. Transfer students will be required to
meet the Minneapolis eligibility requirements during their first quarter in the Minneapolis Public Schools.
1.
Grade Point Average (GPA) will be computed using all classes in which a student is enrolled. Credit/non-credit
classes will not be counted in the Grade Point Average (GPA).
2.
Students participating in athletics must be enrolled as a full time student at their high school. Seniors who may not
need to take the required amount of credits each quarter/semester/trimester to graduate will have their GPA figured
on the number of credits taken if less than the number required.
3.
A student must qualify on both 1 and 2 above.
4.
For entering ninth graders, starting in the fall of 2005, the first grading period will be a probationary period for
students who do not meet the 2.00 GPA. This probationary period is limited to participation during the second
grading period of the ninth grade year. These students would be granted one probationary quarter during the
second grading period, provided they earn a minimum of 3 credits. Following the probationary period, the students
would be required to meet the full 2.00 GPA required as well as other requirements of the policy.
5.
The Minnesota State High School League (Bylaw 407.00) defines eligibility as “making satisfactory progress toward
graduation”. The new Minneapolis policy does not require eligibility to be determined on a cumulative GPA.
Students are required to maintain 3.75 credits per quarter on a cumulative credit basis. At the end of the ninth
grade, satisfactory progress is 15.00 credits, the end of tenth grade is 30.00 credits, the end of eleventh is 45.00
credits and seniors graduate with a minimum of 64.50 credits.
A student who is ineligible because of too few credits may regain eligibility by attending two consecutive quarters and
earning 3.75 during each for a total of 7.50 credits. If the second quarter is the quarter prior to participation, then the
student must also have a 2.00 GPA or better. The regaining of eligibility as described is automatic and determined at the
building level.

District Appeals Committee: If a lengthy non-attending absence is caused by illness or any other unusual
circumstance, the student’s parents, guardian, or the student if he/she is legally emancipated, may appeal in writing
to the District Appeals Committee for an exception to the rule.
The following criteria must be met to remain eligible:
a. A student granted the appeal must have weekly monitoring of their academic progress. Students must be
making satisfactory progress as determined by classroom teachers. If the students are not making satisfactory
progress in any class he/she will be ineligible for any contest, but will be able to practice until the following
weekly monitoring, where they can regain their eligibility. Monitoring will be completed the Thursday of each
week by the school administrator or his/her designee.
b. The student must be in attendance for every class, if they are absent from class they are ineligible to practice or
play on that day of activity.
c. Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-curricular or extra-curricular
activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the day of the suspension.
d. At the end of the quarter, students must earn a 2.0 for the grading period. If a 2.0 GPA for the quarter is not
achieved the student will be declared ineligible.
e. This is a one-time appeal and, no additional appeals will be granted under this policy.
6.
B.
Spring Quarter will be used to determine eligibility for the following Fall. A student (grades 10-12) must have a 2.00
GPA for the number of classes required during Spring Quarter to be eligible for the following Fall.
Summer school credits will be computed as follows:
If the summer class is the same as the spring class where a poor grade was received, the grade achieved during the
summer will replace the spring grades and then averaged to determine the Grade Point Average (GPA). If the summer
class is an additional class, the grade achieved during the summer will be added to the spring grades and then averaged
to determine the Grade Point Average (GPA). Early college grades will also be computed as a part of the Grade Point
Average (GPA).
Miscellaneous Academic Provisions
An “incomplete” grade is considered a failure (F) until the required course work is completed. The GPA will then be recomputed.
Declaration Date for Eligibility - Students who fail to achieve a 2.00 GPA will become ineligible on the second Monday
following the end of the previous quarter. This procedure must be followed by all high schools and replaces individual
school procedures.
Exception Procedures
A.

appeals must be made by the parent or guardian unless the student is legally emancipated. In that case, the student
may request an appeal.

the Committee to observe or present information pertinent to the case. The student, his/her parents and/or a

will take place after all the parties concerned are excused from the hearing.
F.
In the event a student feels the student or teacher representative from his/her school could not render a fair decision or
would create an uncomfortable atmosphere, the student may ask the school representative to be excused from the
hearing. If the decision is to excuse the committee member, the chairperson will excuse the member in question from
the individual hearing and vote.
G.
The District Appeals Committee shall meet and render a decision within five (5) working days after having received a
written request for an appeal. The student will receive a written notice of the result of the hearing. If an exception is
granted, rationale for granting it will be so stated and a copy filed with the Superintendent. All appeals will be processed
by the office of the Director of Athletics.

Changes in Policies that affect YOU! The Attendance Policy Attendance – Policy 5100 Amended On April 13, 2010 the Board of Education amended Policy 5100 – Attendance. The Superintendent has promulgated Regulations 5100 A – Rules and Procedures: Attendance, 5100 B – Attendance Expectations and Interventions, and 5100 C – Enforcement of Compulsory Instruction. This policy and these regulations can now be found on the Policy pages of the District website @ http://policy.mpls.k12.mn.us/5000_Students.html . Just click on the pdf document button for Policy 5100, or Regulations 5100 A, 5100 B and 5100 C to download the policy and regulations. Things that stay the same: • Suspension and removal from instruction may NOT be used as a consequence for tardiness. • Adult students (students 18 years of age or over) may provide their own excuses for absences, and are subject to the same rules as parents are for students under age 18. • A 95% in school on time expectation for all students, Pre-­‐K – Grade 12. Changes you should know about for all staff: • The attendance policy now applies to students enrolled in High-­‐Five. Although continued absence by a High-­‐Five student will result in a referral for educational neglect, a student who has fifteen (15) consecutive, unexcused absences may be withdrawn from High-­‐Five and their place given to another on the program’s waiting list. • There is an additional requirement that students who have either an IEP or a 504 plan, whose plan activities require their absence from some classes must not be recorded as absent. Knowledge of the terms of student’s IEPs and 504 plans are therefore required of all persons required to take attendance on a daily or hourly basis. • Rules surrounding appropriate excuses, and requirements for advance notice for some absences have changed. As these are numerous, please refer to Regulation 5100 A – especially Section II.E. • For the purpose of eligibility for co-­‐curricular or extra-­‐curricular activities (including athletics), an unexcused absence in one or more classes in one school day makes the student ineligible to participate in those activities on that same day. • Students experiencing academic difficulties may be restricted from participating in co-­‐curricular activities occurring during school hours upon consultation with the student’s parent. • Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-­‐curricular or extra-­‐curricular activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the days of the suspension (including athletics). • Schools are expected to develop their own procedures and school rules to address tardiness. Those rules and procedures must be consistent with the values stated in the attendance policy and regulations. Notice of the school’s tardy rules and procedures must be given to parents and adult students along with the attendance policy. (this can be accomplished through handbooks, welcome back packets, and the like). Changes you should know about for teachers: • Teachers must provide an opportunity for students to make up work missed due to excused absences. Teachers should establish a reasonable time limit to complete the work, given all circumstances. Once that time limit is established, it is the student’s responsibility to meet it. Teachers are not required to give extensions. • Teachers may NOT use absences or tardies (excused or unexcused) ALONE to affect a student’s grade, or evaluation of progress toward meeting a standard. • Teachers may provide an opportunity for students to make up work missed due to an unexcused absence, but are not required to do so. Teachers should consider the student’s best interests in making such decisions. Changes you should know about for attendance clerks and others responsible for entering attendance codes: • All excuses must be offered to the school within three school (3) weeks after the first day of the absence. • Changes in attendance codes after that time limit must be made only by the principal, except for clerical errors. Changes you should know about for school nurses: • Regulation 5100 A ¶II.E.3.a)[ii] and [iii] permits you to approve requests for excused absences for illnesses, without requiring an outside health care provider’s verification, upon consultation with the parent or adult student. Changes you should know about for principals: • You must work with your school community to develop rules and procedures that address tardiness. These rules and procedures must be consistent with the attendance values stated in the policy and regulations. • You must approve any change in an entered attendance code that is requested more than three (3) weeks after the first day of the absence. • You are responsible for considering requested excuses that require advance approval. These are: o religious observance o
cultural observance (must be District recognized – contact your associate superintendent if unsure) o family activity – requires a ten (10) advance request, and is limited to no more than five (5) days within one school year, and cannot be during state testing dates. o college visits (limited to two (2) days per year. o non-­‐district sponsored competitions or events. • You have the discretion to grant excuses for other absences for activities or events that due to their confidential nature should not be otherwise identified to protect the privacy interests of the student or the student’s family. • You are the first step in any appeal from a parent regarding an entered attendance code. • Parents may appeal to your appropriate superintendent any attendance decision you make, including those decisions regarding prior notice applications (see above). • You are responsible to make sure that the attendance policy and any school rules regarding tardiness are given to all parents and adult students. Questions regarding the policy or regulations may be directed to the Director of Policy Development, Nan Miller at [email protected] or 612-­‐668-­‐0384. Attendance Procedures and Requirements (Effective 2010/11 School Year)
For the purpose of eligibility for co-curricular activities (including athletics), an unexcused absence in one or more
classes in one school day makes the student ineligible to participate in those activities on the same day.
A. Students experiencing academic difficulties may be restricted from participating in co-curricular activities
occurring during school hours upon consultation with the student’s parent.
B. Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-curricular or extracurricular activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the days of the suspension
(including athletics).
Suspension Rule: (Effective 2/24/09)
If a student is suspended from school he/she will not be allowed to participate in any athletic contest for the
remainder of the school day, regardless if the student is re-admitted back to school on the same day of the suspension.
Student must also serve entire suspension before he/she is allowed to practice or participate in any contest.
Game Suspensions for the Minneapolis Public Schools Attendance Rule
When counting contests for suspensions in the Minneapolis Public Schools Attendance Policy, the MSHSL definition of
contests will be employed. (Example: volleyball or wrestling tournament - 1 contest each basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.
game = contest). Also, athletes that participate at more than one level of competition cannot pair these contests for the
purpose of serving the penalty. Suspensions are at their primary level of participation and contest at all other levels that may
fall between contests.
Exemptions
The only class absences that are exempt from this rule and regulation are those that occur when the school requires
the student to participate in an alternate activity, or when such absences are due to official religious observances.
The Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee, is responsible for identifying the activities for which students may be
exempted. In each case, the school (or governmental agency) stipulates the place of attendance other than the classroom.

one-day’s absence charged against them per activity.
Students in the Minneapolis Federation of Alternative Schools and other special sites that are part of the district must conform

1. All fees collected stay in the school. The fees are NOT sent to the district headquarters and DO NOT
pay for coach salaries.
2. Fees are intended to be used AT THE SCHOOL for the purchase of athletic equipment and supplies at
the discretion of the building athletic director in coordination with his/her principal.
3. All students who choose to participate in district sponsored athletic programs will be asked to pay a fee
for the use of equipment and materials. This fee varies according to the age of student and sport.
4. No student should be denied participation in athletic programs for inability to pay this fee.
5. Schools may waive the fee.
6. Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) funds may not be used to pay these fees! RAK funds are for student
emergencies only!
SUPERVISION OF STUDENT GROUPS AT ATHLETIC GAMES
INSTRUCTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS TO SUPERVISORS
The faculty supervisor of students at athletic games is hired to perform a job. Arrangements have been made for this special
help to assure exemplary student conduct. It has been our observation that a supervisor cannot properly know what is going
on and perform the job of supervision if he or she merely takes a seat and becomes an interested spectator. We wish,
therefore, to suggest that supervisors be instructed as follows:
1.
They should arrive at the site thirty (30) minutes prior to the beginning of an athletic contest.
2.
They should be on their feet and moving about wherever their schools’ students congregate. This means through the
balcony, into the hallways and occasionally through the lavatories on an inspection.
3.
Tobacco, alcohol and other mood-altering chemicals will not be tolerated in any area.
4.
Throwing debris is a common annoyance that will not be tolerated.
5.
Fighting of any kind is not to be permitted.
6.
Make your identity known to the police officers on duty and have them assist you when dealing with difficult situations.
7.
Do not tolerate abusive or profane language by students.
8.
Report to the Building Athletic Director the names of any students that may need to be disciplined at the individual
school.
9.
Supervisors should remain until all students have left the playing site.
10.
Each supervisor is to wear an identifying badge.
11.
If the supervisors have any suggestions, please refer them to the contest manager.
12. Do not permit student signs to be displayed. Only official signs are permitted. Noisemakers such as sirens, horns, etc.
are not permitted.

EMERGENCY PLAN FOR ATHLETIC INJURIES
I.
INTRODUCTION
It is important that all school personnel involved with athletics prepare themselves to prevent accidents and to maintain a
safe environment within the various outdoor and indoor arenas for athletic participation. It is important that when schools
provide equipment for athletics, the equipment is safe and provides the protection intended. It is also expected that all
coaches will instruct the athletes they are responsible for in the proper skills and techniques for their particular sport to
provide the safest atmosphere possible.
Even though all possible areas for safety have been addressed, because of the nature of the activity, we can assume
that accidents will occur. With this in mind, the Athletic Department offers this Emergency Plan for Athletic Injuries.
II. ACCIDENT REPORT SYSTEM
When injuries occur, the coach in charge is responsible for completing the "Student (or non-employee) Accident/Incident
Report", Form 119. The following injuries should be reported:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Any injury requiring care beyond that given in school.
Any injury with recommendation to parents, guardians or designee for a medical follow-up.
Accidents with any type of head injury. Even a slight head injury may result in symptoms of further injury
the student leaves the supervision of the coach. The parent, guardian or designee should be notified of
injuries. A report should include information on who was contacted and how the contact was made.
Any injury of an unusual nature or as a result of an unusual circumstance, e.g., poisoning, overdose, etc.
Assault and battery.
after
all head
Form 119 should be submitted on the first work day following the incident to the Health Services Office in the Special
Education Center. (No copy should be kept at the school.) The Building Athletic Director should keep a list of all
accident reports filed, to include the name of the injured athlete, date of the accident and date the form was sent to the
Health Services Office.
When the injury is considered serious, it is necessary to also inform by phone, as soon as possible, the Building Athletic
Director who will notify the Principal and Director of Athletics. The Director of Athletics is responsible for notifying the
Associate Superintendent for Secondary Education and the Health Services Office. Injuries that fall in the serious
category are as follows:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
H.
An injury that is life threatening.
An ambulance is called.
The victim suffers a compound fracture.
Dismemberments.
Head injury requiring immediate medical care.
Questionable third degree burns.
Any injury of an unusual nature of as a result of an unusual circumstance, e.g., poisoning, overdose, etc.
Assault and battery.
When an injury occurs and a concern is expressed by the coach as to whether or not an accident report should be filed,
the Athletic Department suggests that the coach file the report.
III. WHEN AN INJURY OCCURS
All persons employed by the district are responsible for administering first aid to injured students within the limits of their
proficiency. On the athletic field the coach in charge assumes this responsibility. Attempting to render first aid care
beyond the level of one's proficiency can be grounds for legal action against the school personnel.
Minnesota Statute section 604.05, commonly known as the "Good Samaritan Law" reads as follows:
"No person, who in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable care renders emergency care at the scene of an
emergency, is liable for any civil damages as a result of acts or omissions by such person in rendering the emergency
care."
Thus, any coach rendering proper initial first aid to an athlete, such as stopping bleeding, cleansing a wound, placing a
bandage over a scrape, etc., is free from civil liability pursuant to this statute if done with due caution and common
sense.
The coach in charge is responsible for any athlete on his or her team who is injured regardless of whether the team is
the home team or the visiting team. If a trainer has been assigned to a contest, the trainer will advise the coach as to the
proper action to take. If an injury occurs that requires advanced or professional emergency care and a 911 call is
necessary, the following procedure should be employed:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
The most knowledgeable first aid person should remain with the injured athlete.
Send a responsible person, who understands the situation, to call 911 and the parent, guardian or designee. Also,
the caller should explain to the 911 dispatcher and the parent where the best access point to the injured person is to
include street and number and the closest gate opening or door. An example would be the "northeast door on the
49th Street side."
Send a responsible person (with a key if necessary) to the access point to meet all emergency vehicles and/or
parents and direct them to the accident scene.
If it is necessary to transport the injured athlete to the hospital and the parent is not available, a responsible person
should accompany the athlete in the ambulance to the hospital. The coach should have someone continue to try
and reach the parent. If the parent cannot be reached by the end of the athletic activity the coach should contact the
hospital as to the condition of the injured athlete and determine further action. In the event contact was not made
with the parent/guardian, the coach in charge is responsible for writing an account of the incident and mailing it to
the parent/guardian.
The "Student (or non-employee) Accident/Incident Report", Form 119, should be completed on the first work day
following the injury and submitted to the Health Services Office.
IV. RETURN TO PARTICIPATION
If an injury requires medical attention, the attending physician must verify the athlete capable of returning to participation
before he or she resumes participation. (Forms are available from the Building Athletic Director.)
V.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION LIST
The coach in charge must have available at all times, when the team is practicing or playing, an emergency notification
list which should include:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
The athlete's name and address.
The name of the parent, guardian or designee.
An emergency telephone number, home and work for the person above.
An additional person who may be called if the parent cannot be reached, to include a home and work telephone
number.
Family physician if applicable.
VI. ACCESS POINTS FOR PRACTICE AND CONTEST SITES
The Building Athletic Director at each school is responsible for providing a plan for directing emergency personnel and/or
parents to the following appropriate access points for:
A.
B.
C.
Outdoor athletic fields (on school grounds and at other home sites).
The most accessible outside door or entrance for each indoor athletic facility (it may be the same door).
The most accessible outside door or entrance to buildings other than the main school building(s) that are used as
home game or practice sites (e.g., swimming pools).
All coaches should be given a dry run on access points for areas they will be using for that season prior to the start of
practice. A map of the access points should be available for coaches and posted on the wall by the telephones that are
used to make emergency calls.
VII. CLAIMS AGAINST AN ATHLETIC STAFF MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
The school district does not carry accident or medical insurance for students. Those expenses are the responsibility of
the student and his/her family.
However, school districts have been alleged to be liable for student injuries. Lack of supervision, poor equipment and
facilities, or violations of safety practices or procedures are common allegations. The school district carries liability
insurance to defend claims of that nature.
If a coach is threatened with a liability claim, refer the claimant to the school district's General Counsel/Legal Office. All
legal process served on the district should be directed to the Superintendent's Office.
Under no circumstances should school personnel admit liability or assure anyone that their damages or claims will be
taken care of. Such statements could invalidate your insurance coverage or the school district's coverage.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Immediate and proper care will provide all injured parties, the best opportunity for a normal recovery and in some cases,
the saving of a life. All athletic personnel must familiarize themselves with this plan so that we may provide the safest
possible conditions for all Minneapolis Public School athletes. For further information contact the Director of Athletics at
668-0600.

(*Denotes rules subject to amendment procedure)
*Schedule - Schedule must be submitted to Read Sweat Tennis Center in early March.
* Balls - The home school is to furnish the necessary number of new current year official balls for each home match
and the home team is to retain the balls.
* Matches - Matches shall consist of four singles and three doubles. No player shall compete in more than one event.
Players should be played in order of ability. The number one player must play the number one singles or number one
doubles. All matches will be seven points.
* Team Line-Ups - Team line-up is to be made out before the match and exchanged with the other coach before the
match starts. Coaches agreed that if any change in line-up is made - that is, if singles players are moved to doubles
or vice versa or if players change in rank from one week to the next - the opposing coach shall be notified before the
match starts and the opponents will be allowed to change the line-up accordingly.
Use of Gymnasiums for Indoor Spring Sports During Spring Break - Administrative approval has been granted to
conduct spring sports practices in the gyms of the senior high schools during the week of spring break provided that
there is no additional janitorial services required. Permits requests for the use of indoor facilities should be submitted
through regular channels.
Matches at Reed-Sweatt Family Tennis Center
a. The second school listed on the schedule is the home team and is responsible for providing new balls for the
match.
b. Spectators are encouraged to attend, but are allowed only in the lobby area or at the west end of the south
bubble (adjacent to court #7).
c. Players arriving before 2:30 p.m. should check with the desk before going on a court and no players should
arrive before 2:00 p.m.
d. Players will be strictly limited to a ten minute warm up period. Coaches need to help enforce this rule.
e. The no-add rule may be used if agreed upon by both coaches.
* Forfeit - If the first singles player is sick or otherwise physically unable to complete or if a number-one man is unable
to play, a substitution shall be made and all players move up in order of ability. The intent is to have the best team
possible on the court.
Time - matches shall begin promptly at the designated times.
* Postponed Match - Postponed matches shall be played in the order of postponement on a date agreeable to both
coaches. The home coach is to call by 11:00 a.m. in the event of a postponement. Rained-out matches will begin at
the point of interruption.

c. At odd game end change, one minute will be allowed during which coaching may take place. This is done
regardless of the set score. At the end of the second, if a third set is required, five minutes will be allowed during

To: School Administrators/Coaches of MSHSL Adapted Athletic Teams
From: Rich Matter, MSHSL Adapted Athletics
Date: July 2004
Subject: Eligibility Requirement Clarifications
ADAPTED ATHLETICS – ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
The MSHSL has two competitive interscholastic divisions: Physically Impaired (PI) and Cognitively Impaired
(CI). Participation in the interscholastic program of a high school is limited to students in grades 7 through
th
12. Students in an ungraded setting are first eligible when their age peers are in the 7 grade. Student will
be eligible for 8 consecutive semester (4 years), beginning with their or their peers initial entrance into the
th
9 grade.
The MSHSL requires a sports qualifying exam every three (3) years for participants in competitive athletics.
The MSHSL acknowledges that some students with disabilities, like some students without disabilities, will
be unable to participate in adapted athletics due to the competitive nature of the programs and for reasons
unrelated to their disability. Like other students who do not "make the team", these students should be
directed to alternative programs which are less competitive and more recreational in nature.
Students may not participate in both PI and CI divisions. If a student participates in both divisions the
penalty for the use of an ineligible player will be enforced and result in an automatic forfeiture of the game.
A. PI Division – The MSHSL Adapted Athletics PI Division program is specifically intended for students
with physical impairments who have medical clearance to compete in competitive athletics. A student is
eligible to compete in the PI Division with one of the following criteria.
The student must have a diagnosed and documented impairment specified from one of the two sections
below: (Must be diagnosed and documented by a Physician and/or Physicians Assistant):
1) Neuromuscular, postural/skeletal, traumatic, growth, or neurological impairment that affects motor
function, modifies gait patterns, or requires the use of a prosthesis or a mobility device including but not
limited to, canes, crutches, or wheelchairs.
2) Cardio/respiratory impairment that is deemed safe for competitive athletics but limits the intensity and
duration of physical exertion such that sustained activity for over five minutes at 60% of maximum heart rate
for age results in physical distress in spite of appropriate management of the health condition.
Note: A condition that can be appropriately managed with appropriate medications, which eliminate
physical or health endurance limitations, will NOT be considered to be eligible for adapted athletics.
Specific exclusions to PI competition:
The following health conditions without coexisting physical impairments as outlined above do not
qualify the student to participate in the PI Division even though some of the conditions below may be
considered Health Impairments by an individual’s physician, student’s school, or a government agency.
This list is not all-inclusive and the conditions are examples of non-qualifying health conditions; other health
impairments that are not listed below may also be non-qualifying for participation in the PI Division.

B. CI Division – The MSHSL Adapted Athletics CI Division program is specifically intended for students
with cognitive impairments who have medical clearance to compete in competitive athletics. A student is
eligible to compete in the CI Division with the following criteria.
The student must have a diagnosed and documented cognitive impairment. Cognitively impaired refers to
students with sub-average intellectual function defined by a Full Scale intelligence quotient of 70 or below,
using a standardized, nationally-normed, technically adequate, and individually administered intelligence
test.
Specific exclusions from CI competition:
A student becomes ineligible to participate in Adapted Athletics when they have attained a level of cognitive
performance that exceeds the eligibility requirements. A student whose Full Scale IQ score increased
above 70 after the start of a season will be permitted to complete that sports season.
Challenges to a student’s eligibility to participate in PI and CI adapted athletics:
A school may file a written challenge regarding a student’s eligibility to participate in Adapted Athletics
based on the qualifications stated above. Challenges must be submitted within 24 hours of the end of the
game in which an alleged ineligible player participated. A challenge submitted after the deadline will not be
honored. The student shall remain eligible during the review process. The committee’s findings will be final
and follow the student through the remaining years of eligibility unless there is a change in physical or
cognitive status.
Upon receipt of a written challenge the MSHSL will activate the following review process:
A. Request of a brief statement from the school/coach supporting the eligibility of the athlete.
B. Review of the school’s/coach’s submission and the school’s supporting data (testing, medical history,
school documentation) by one reviewer who will submit a brief written statement regarding the eligibility
status.
C. Appeal Process: If the initial finding is appealed, a panel of three (3) reviewers will be convened. Two (2)
of these reviewers must be from different disciplines (MD, Adapted PE teacher, PT, etc). The school/coach
will be asked to submit a video of the player during a game or during PE class that will best demonstrate
the disability. The video will be at the schools expense.
