EspañolOREGON SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION
The 'Oregon School Activities Association', or 'OSAA', is a non-profit, board-governed organization that regulates high school athletics and competitive activities in Oregon, providing equitable competition amongst its members, both public and private. The OSAA is based in Wilsonville, Oregon.
History
Originally created in 1918 as the "Oregon State High School Athletic Association", the name changed to the "Oregon School Activities Association", or OSAA, in 1947.
Currently, the OSAA sponsors seventy-four state championships in nineteen interscholastic activities including athletics, music, and forensics and is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Starting in the 2006-07 school year the current 4 school classifications (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A) were divided into 6 classifications (6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A). This caused some controversy as some school districts complained about the new classifications and sought legal action. [1]
Classifications and Leagues
To do its job effectively, the OSAA divides schools up into classifications and leagues (or conferences).
There are six classifications, with the smallest schools in class 1A and the largest schools in class 6A. Within each classification, there are between 5 and 8 leagues and conferences. Each league or conference has between 4 and 15 schools.
A 1A school has less than 116 students, 2A between 116 and 235 students, 3A between 236 and 400 students, 4A between 401 and 850 students, 5A between 851 and 1520 students, and the largest schools, 6A, have 1521 or more students. However, some schools choose to "play up" in a larger classification than they would normally be assigned.
