Middle School Athletic Regulations
The
handbook for middle/junior high school athletic programs has been
written to assist local boards of education and their staffs in carrying
out the intent and purpose of General Statute 115C-47 (4) which makes
it the responsibility of the local board of education to regulate
extracurricular activities, including athletics. This manual provides
guidelines for LEAs to provide consistency, sportsmanship and fairness
for all children who choose to participate in interscholastic athletics.
To view a copy of the Middle/Junior High School Athletic Manual, look
under Athletic Information. If a situation is not covered in the middle
school manual, please refer to the NCHSAA Handbook for guidance.
