The NSAA, so far, does not sponsor a state duals championship in girls wrestling like they do for the boys. This year the Nebraska Scholastic Wrestling Coaches Association (NSWCA) is sponsoring the first girls state duals championship which will be held on Friday, January 26th in Pierce.

The matchups are as follows:

#1 Grand Island
#8 North Platte

#4 Millard South
#5 South Sioux City

#3 Papillion-LaVista
#6 Pierce

#2 Norfolk
#7 Minden

It sounds like a forgone conclusion that the NSAA will add another class for girls wrestling. It is much needed as girls participation is up to over 1,700 from 700 just a couple years ago. If that happens, it looks like the NSAA is leaning towards going to a 4 day tourney with 2 different championship days. I believe this happened in 2021(?) because of covid? I am not a fan of this and love championship Saturday. What's everyone's thoughts on this and what is the best solution? Have a separate girls state championship?

Also, it looks like the NSAA oversold tickets for this years state tournament and people who pre ordered in December are having their tickets cancelled.

Shot Clocks are headed to all of Nebraska's classes next season
by Stu Pospisil, Omaha World-Herald

Sooner than envisioned, all six classes are going to be using the shot clock next season.

It has only taken three seasons for it to spread from Class A only, as an "experiment," to the addition of Class B this season, to the anticipated approval from the NSAA board to expand it to the rest of the classes.

In voting earlier this month in the NSAA's six legislative districts, only District V in southwest Nebraska rejected the proposal for Classes C1, C2, D1 and D2 to employ the shot clock.

At last Thursday's monthly board meeting, NSAA Assistant Director Jon Dolliver was given the go-ahead to alert schools to what's coming because it takes time to order the clocks and get them installed, especially when more than 200 schools will need them.

The trickle down that became a gusher, I didn't see coming.

Last fall, it seemed like Class C1 and C2 schools were leaning toward it, and some legislative proposals were for those classes only. But one proposal included Classes D1 and D2, too. And, by golly, it sailed through.

(Voting results listed with each item)

Here are the 40 proposals that passed in at least one district at the November NSAA District Meetings.

The 18 Constitution/Bylaw proposals that pass in three or more districts will advance to the Representative Assembly.

All Approved Ruling (Activities Manual) proposals will be placed on the April NSAA Board of Directors meeting agenda as action items regardless of the number of districts that pass them.

The following procedure is to be followed at the Second (January) District Meetings: (The meetings will be held on January 10.)

1. All 40 proposals should be acted upon

2. A simple majority passes the proposal.
3. Each member school is entitled to one vote. The administrative head of the school or his/her designee shall be considered the authorized voting representative.

4. Amendments to proposals are not permitted.

5. New proposals may not be introduced from the floor.

6. Elections shall be held for officers, alternates and Representative Assembly delegates.

========================================

1. Home School Transfer Bylaws
During the last state legislative session, an amendment to Nebraska State Statute 79-2,136 was passed, which now allows home school/part-time/exempt students to participate in NSAA sanctioned activities by virtue of enrolling in no more than or no less than 5 credit hours per semester at an NSAA member school. This amendment made several NSAA bylaws non-compliant with state law. This proposal would revised several NSAA home school transfer bylaws --2.7.6.1, 2.7.6.2, 2.7.6.5, 2.7.6.6, and 2.7.6.7, in addition to participation (2.2.1) and current semester bylaws (2.5.1) to become compliant with state law. Additionally, NSAA bylaws currently do not specifically address students who transfer from an NSAA member school to a home school. The proposed new bylaw 2.7.6.8 would address students who transfer from an NSAA member school to a home school and specify the conditions that must be met for a student to remain eligible. New 2.7.6.8 Transfer from a Member School to a Home School: Students who were regular member school students and transfer to a home school in grades 9-12 remain eligible to participate for the member school under the following conditions. The student must be continuously enrolled in at least 20 credit hours of instruction, and a minimum of five credit hours must be from the member school the student represents in interscholastic competition. The student's part-time enrollment must be in the school in which the student's home school is located. For example, an option student who elects to home school and enroll as a part-time student in the student's resident school is considered a transfer student and must meet all transfer student eligibility requirements.

2. New Bylaw 1.5.3.9 - Compliance
This proposal would add a new bylaw allowing for timely action to bring NSAA bylaws in compliance with newly passed state law(s) in the future rather than forcing such a change to go through the NSAA Legislative Process, where implementation ensuring compliance with the law could be delayed by as many as 14 months.

3. Classification of Schools Basketball, Volleyball, Cross Country (65 in Classes A-B)
Increase the number of Class A-B schools to 65 to account for the addition of the five new A-B schools. In summary, the largest 65 schools based on 9-11 enrollment shall be placed in Classes A and B, with those schools with a combined enrollment of 850 or greater to be placed in Class A, and the remainder in Class B.

4. Establish and Implement a Classification/Competitive Balance Committee
The purpose of the committee will be to analyze data and other information and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding classification of schools and competitive balance. The Committee would hear appeals from schools that wish to opt down from their assigned class and be eligible for state and district competitions. The Committee would consider the following factors: a) Socioeconomics of the school's population; b) Demographics of the school's population; c) Geography; d) Competitive history and balance; e) School enrollment factors (students in alternative schools, enrollment trends); and f) Student participation rate in NSAA activities

5. Organized Practice Rule
There have been several changes over the past few years to the organized practice rule with regard to the length of time, the ratio of coaches/athletes, allowing pitchers/catchers to start early, and the type of equipment that is allowed. The outcome appears to be that we are just trying to find loopholes year after year to get our coaches more time to work with our athletes. As a result, the following proposal defines two "dead periods" during the calendar year: 1) December moratorium (already established); and 2) any 7 consecutive day period in the month of July. The intent of the December Moratorium and the July Moratorium is to provide coaches, athletes and other school personnel a five- to seven-day break from the activity season. This rule is to be interpreted as a five- to seven-day dead period without organized practices, structured conditioning sessions or meetings of any type. It is the member school's responsibility to monitor and enforce this rule. School-owned facilities shall be closed to all grades 9-12 workout activities during the moratorium (team or athletic meetings, practice, competition, weight training, conditioning, open gym, or other physical activity.) The rest of the calendar year is free to use as you wish. There will no longer be an established practice rule with the exception of the two dead periods.

6 (13-9-3)

6. Two-hour organized practice 10 weeks prior to start of season (All Classes)
If member schools choose to hold off-season sports specific work outs but due to facility and time restraints, member schools can have the following option limiting coaches to 2 hours per week for a maximum of 10 weeks. "Sport specific" workouts (does not include weight lifting and conditioning). Note: Anytime a coach works sports specific skills with an athlete, that time counts toward the 2-hour team total for that sport that week. This would be a benefit to multi-sport coaches and facility scheduling. Some athletes are already doing two 1-hour workouts per week (Tues/Thurs) so this wouldn't add anything to their plate but would allow multi sport coaches to do it in one setting as opposed to needing three time slots to workout 12 players.

6 (2-16-7)

8. Remove requirement for Coaches/Sponsors
School districts require their own background checks and district wide requirements (vector trainings). NSAA requirements: external coaches will not be required to possess a certificate. School districts require much more than a first aid course and a coaching fundamental on-line class in order to be certified.

9. Dual Participation
Eliminate the language restricting students from simultaneously participating in two sports during a sports season. Would provide opportunities for students. They cannot control in what season the sports they enjoy are offered. Dual participation is allowed under the National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS), which sets the rules and regulations for high school sports. All neighboring states but Missouri allow dual participation.

10. Out of State Transfers
Changing Rule 2.7.8 to allow students transferring from out of state to Nebraska schools using the May 1st transfer list. Currently, the May 1st transfer list is only for Nebraska students transferring to other Nebraska schools. Would provide the same oppotunity for students transferring from out of state to Nebraska without being ineligible for 90 schools days.

@PeliniTheCrutch from the @huskerboard is reporting some scheduling controversy at the NSAA this off-season. Short story is 3 teams possibly affected everyone's schedules by wanting to play out of state during a bye week. Anybody have more info on what's really going on?
