ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The 'Alabama High School Athletic Association' ('AHSAA') was founded in 1921, is a private agency organized by its member schools to control and promote their athletic programs. Based in Montgomery, major aims of the AHSAA are to serve the needs of its member schools in conducting their interscholastic athletic programs and to assist member schools in reaching the educational objectives as established by their school systems.
The AHSAA, providing a vehicle which member schools may write their own rules and regulations, determines that schools are abiding by those standards in such areas as student eligibility, contests and championship programs.
Another basic function of the AHSAA is the registration, training and regulation of officials. Only officials registered with the Association are used for contests involving member schools.

Legislative body

The rules-making body of the AHSAA is the Legislative Council, composed of eight district boards made up of four members each elected by member schools in each district. The 32-member Council has the authority to make changes in the Constitution and By-Laws.
The executive board with the final authority in AHSAA matters is the Central Board of Control, consisting of one member of each district board, one board member from each of the four bi-districts, and one representative from the State Department of Education.
The operation of the AHSAA is the responsibility of Dan Washburn and his staff. Washburn became only the third full-time executive director January 1, 1991, after the retirement of Herman L. (Bubba) Scott, who had served since 1966. The late Cliff Harper became the first AHSAA head in 1948, with the establishment of a State Office in Montgomery. Prior to that, Sellers Stough of Birmingham had served as director on a part-time basis.

Classification

The AHSAA classifies member schools in one of six classifications by enrollment—1A through 6A—with 6A containing the schools with the largest enrollment. Enrollment is based only on the number of students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades and any ninth grade students who have passed ninth grade but are retained in that grade, as determined by the Alabama State Department of Education average daily membership counts. Classification for private school members is likewise based on enrollment, but unlike public school members, the private school enrollment is multiplied by a factor of 1.35 for classification purposes.^[1] The sports of baseball, basketball, football, softball, volleyball, and track and field have competition in all six classes, with other sports combining some classes. Mens' golf has five classes (1A-2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A); cross country (1A-2A, 3A-4A, 5A, 6A) and men's and women's tennis (1A-3A, 4A, 5A, 6A) have four classes; indoor track, wrestling, and men's and women's soccer have three classes (1A-4A, 5A, 6A); and womens' golf and men's and women's swimming and diving have only one classification (1A-6A). For the 2006-2008 classification cycle, enrollment figures (10th-12th grade) for each classification are as follows:

★ 6A - 700-1751 (63 schools)

★ 5A - 399-699 (65 schools)

★ 4A - 288-398 (65 schools)

★ 3A - 213-287 (70 schools)

★ 2A - 148-212 (67 schools)

★ 1A - 0 - 147 (82 schools)

History and mission statement

The purpose of the AHSAA is to regulate, coordinate and promote the interscholastic athletic programs among its member schools, which include public, private and parochial institutions. Currently, there are 401 senior high members and 287 junior high and middle school members with more than 75,000 students participating in the program.
The AHSAA joined the National Federation of State High School Associations in 1924. The National Federation, both a service and regulatory organization controlling interstate athletic events, helps the 50 state association members secure the benefits of cooperative action through the pooling and coordinating of ideals of all who are engaged in the administration of high school athletes.
The AHSAA merged with the ''Alabama Interscholastic Athletic Association'' in 1968, forming one high school athletic association for the State of Alabama in accordance with a court order relating to athletics.
The AHSAA sponsors state championships programs in 11 boys and 11 girls sports.
