WHAT IS THE MIAA? The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is a private, non-profit association organized by its member schools to govern, coordinate and promote education based programs for high school students. The MIAA is self-regulating with the 378 member schools providing individual leaders to serve within the 35 MIAA governance
units.
The
latest
annual
participation
survey
demonstrates that 230,664 team positions were filled by studentathletes in 33 sports.

PHILOSOPHY Within high school sport programs, young people learn the values associated with discipline, performing under stress, teamwork, sacrifice, commitment, effort, accountability, citizenship, sportsmanship, confidence, leadership and organizational skills, participating within rules, physical well-being and healthy lifestyles, striving towards excellence, and many other characteristics that come quickly to the mind of any educator. Ethics, playing within the spirit of the rules, and good sportsmanship (which is good citizenship) must be woven into the fabric of the high school athletic program. In the education of 76% of the young people attending MIAA member schools, athletic participation is a critical component. For many students, the most stable environment in their lives is that provided by high school activity programs. Often the best opportunities for crisis intervention, drug prevention, "day care" programs, and the like are school activity programs. The cost is minimal, while the worth is maximal. While winning contests, rather than losing them, is a laudable goal, it should not supersede the primary priorities of high school sport programs. What should be the rationale behind high school activities is preparing students to succeed rather than merely to win games. Win or lose, students should learn lessons of a lasting and positive nature.

NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED 1.
Grade point averages (GPA) of students improve during seasons in which they are participating in athletics.
2.
76% of all students are participants in MIAA interscholastic athletic programs.
3.
Student-athletes have higher attendance and graduation rates than non-athletes.
4.
95% of corporate officers report that they had participated in high school athletics.
5.
High school athletic programs are cost effective. They typically make up one to three percent of the local school budget.
6.
High school activity programs often represent the best drop-out prevention, crisis intervention, day care, and drug prevention programs which a community can offer, and the cost per student is minimal.
7.
If school activity programs are to be justified they must contain fundamental educational components. Be certain such is the case in your school
