There have been many questions, phone calls, etc. regarding the PIAA mixed gender ruling.  Below is what is set forth by the PIAA.  Any questions or concerns, please contact athletic director Rod Harris.  These papers are also available at our concession stand or by talking to Jon Weaver.  

Article XVI

Section 4

C. Boys may play on a Girls' Team if the student's school does not sponsor a Boys' Team in that sport and the Principal determines that;

1. the overall boys' athletic program at the student's school provides fewer opportunities

for boys to participate than for girls;

2. the boy would not displace any girl from the Team's roster;

3. the boy would likely not, due to his physical size, athletic ability, and/or other

characteristics, pose an increased risk of harm to opponents beyond that which would be posed by an

average-sized and skilled participating girl; and

4. the boy would not provide his Team with a significant competitive advantage (as

applicable herein, this means that the boy's participation would likely cause the Team to be noticeably

more competitive than it would be without the boy's participation on the Team

D. Rules applicable to Mixed Gender Teams: Because PIAA does not have a Mixed Gender

classification, the following provisions govern participation by Mixed Gender Teams:

1. For Post Season purposes, Mixed Gender Teams (other than in the sport of Spirit) shall

compete only in the sport classifications designated for boys.
