Exit Exam .......................................................................................................................... Post course exam TOTAL TIME: 15 Hrs.= 1 credit ALL- STAR GAMES PER SPORT .04C(5) “ Individual students may participate in all -star games and events, upon completion of their eligibility in the sport in which this participation occurs.” Interpretation : Eligibility to participate in a specific sport is automatically forfeited following participation in an all -star event for that sport. The regulations only take jurisdictional control over participation related directly to representation of member scho ols. All -star selections as a result of camps, open tryouts, summer leagues, or any other non -school affiliated recreational athletic participation are not germane to the regulation. Factors that constitute an All -Star Contest and violate the intent of the rule prohibiting returning players participating in such contests include: (a) Players were selected to participate in the contest based on their participation as a member of a high school team. e.g. school records, player statistics, or league honors. (b) Players were contacted through their school or a representative of their school. (c) The game was advertised as an All -Star Contest or similar wording that would indicate as an All -Star Contest for current high school students; e.g. Underclassman Game. OUT -OF -SEASON PRACTICE .04E(1) “Member MPSSAA schools and coaches of member schools shall confine school practices to the seasonal limitations as defined in Regulation .03 of this chapter.” Interpretation : Any school group or team gathering consisting of three or more players that has assembled for the purpose of drilling or instruction would constitute a violation. School coaching staffs may work with a maximum of two players per day. .04E(2) “ A coach may not coach a team representing the coach’s school beyond the sports season as defined in Regulation .03 of this chapter.” Interpretation : Any paid or volunteer coach at a member school may coach a non -school team provided the team has no direct affiliation with the school. When coaching non- school teams, including returning school players on non -school teams, the following criteria sha ll be observed: (a) The non- school team may not use a name directly connected with the school; (b) The non- school team may not use school uniforms, equipment or funds; (c) The non- school team may not use school facilities except as allowed by local school system guidelines; (d) The non- school team must meet local school system standards of a non -school team; and (e) The number of returning school players on the non -school team is limited according to the following timeframe. Timeframe (1) From the start of the fall sports season as defined in Regulation .03, to the last state championship game of the spring season, the outside teams roster does not exceed 80% of the returning players of what would constitute a starting lineup in that sport OR a modified version thereof. i.e., 7- on -7 football, 3 -on -3 basketball, indoor soccer, indoor lacrosse, etc. Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association Handbook 202 5-26 Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association | 37 Sport Starting Lineup Limit Baseball 9 7 Basketball 5 4 Cross Country 7 5 Field Hockey 11 8 Football 11 8 Golf 4 State m embers 3 Gymnastics – Boys 6 e vents 4 Gymnastics – Girls 4 events 3 Lacrosse - Boys 10 8 Lacrosse – Girls 12 9 Soccer 11 8 Softball 9 7 Swimming 12 events 9 Tennis 8 State events 6 Track and Field 18 events 14 Volleyball 6 4 Wrestling 14 11 (2) From the last state championship game of the spring season to the first day of fall practice, the outside team roster is unrestricted on the number of returning players. Understanding the 80% Rule - Distinguishing local school system programs and non -school Teams. (1) The rule separates the local school system team participating out- of-season from a non -school team through an individual analysis of the characteristics of the non -school team. The characteristics do not allow for more than 80 percent of returning players of what would constitute a starting lineup in that sport or modified version thereof, If the non -school team is coached by a coach of the same school of the returning players. (2) The rule refers to returning players. Returning players are defined on page 31 of the MPSSAA Handbook as, “A player who has represented his/her school in that sport.” Consistent with COMAR, local school systems may provide more restrictive interpretation o n this definition, including incoming freshman and transfer students. (3) The language in the rule speaks to “any coach” and “representing the coach’s school.” Swapping different sport coaches from the same school challenges the rule if the teams are operating above 80 percent of what would constitute a starting lineup in that s port or modified version thereof. (4) The language speaks specifically to the characteristics of a single team. Multiple teams coached by coaches from a school in which their characteristics comply with the 80 % rule do not challenge the rule as the individual analysis of each team shows compl iance. (5) School systems, who hire coaches that have coached with more than 80 % of returning players between competition seasons may cause a violation. The same criteria that is being applied to all current high school coaches and non -school teams shall apply to the high school team at the start of their competition season to ensure competitive equity between coach and student -athlete opportunities in between seasons. MPSSAA SUMMER CAMPS .04G (2) “Students and member schools may participate in summer camps that are sponsored by the local school system” Interpretation: Local school systems may sponsor a summer camp that meets the following criteria . (1) After the last game of the Spring State Championships and concludes on the final Saturday of July. (2) Camps per sport may not exceed 12 individual days. Local School Systems shall approve the number of hours allowed per day of camp. Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association Handbook 202 5-26 Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association | 38 (3) Camps may not consist of contact for collision sports as defined in the MPSSAA Recommendations to Strengthen Concussion Safety. Helmets, pads, and full equipment are not allowed for football. (4) Only coaches approved by the local school system may conduct school -sponsored camps. Guest instructors are allowed per local school system guidelines. (5) Only students approved by the local school system may participate in approved summer camps (6) Skill development and instruction activities are allowed, including game situations within an individual local school system approved summer camp. (7) Local school systems may operate multi -school camps. Game situations may only occur within the parameters of the camp and may not lead to multi -camp scrimmages/competitions. NOTE: Alleged violations brought by member schools, students or coaches will be investigated by the local superintendent or his/her designee. Those sponsoring and/or conducting a camp that is under investigation will be required to supply supporting data. CAMP RULE .04G( 5) “ It is a violation of the out- of -season practice rule established in Regulation .03 of this chapter for coaches of member MPSSAA schools, while affiliated with a camp that is not sponsored by the local school system, to conduct any form of team or group pra ctice involving their school. .04G(6) “A member MPSSAA school may not provide school uniforms or equipment for students who attend a camp outside of the defined sports season in Regulation .03 of this chapter.” Interpretation : School -related individuals mean any school employee, volunteer, their relative, and/or agents. Coaches may instruct non -school teams at camps. NOTE: Alleged violations brought by member schools, students or coaches will be investigated by the local superintendent or his/her designee. Those sponsoring and/or conducting a camp that is under investigation will be required to supply supporting data. MISCONDUCT DETRIMENTAL TO A TOURNAMENT .07C (11) “If a team or any students participating in a State tournament contest leaves the field of competition before completion of a contest, or fails to continue play when eligible to do so, or is guilty of misconduct detrimental to the tournament, th en the team, coach, or students may be suspended from further participation in the current tournament, and from the same tournament in the succeeding year, upon the determination of the tournament committee and the Executive Director. ” Interpretation : Ejection from any district, region, or State tournament contest, failure of schools to follow state tournament policies and/or disruptive actions of students, coaches, school supporters, or administrators are considered misconduct detrimental to the tournament. C oaches, players, and bench personnel ejected from these tournament contests are disqualified from the succeeding contest in that tournament year. Additional sanctions such as, but not limited to, state tournament probation, disqualification from state tou rnaments in succeeding years, or disqualification from additional state tournaments in the same year, could be imposed depending on the circumstances. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP CRITERIA .07D “Expansion of any sport to the State level shall be recommended by the State Board of Control of the MPSSAA and approved by the State Superintendent of Schools after consultation with the local superintendents of schools.” MPSSAA Criteria : (a) A minimum of 40% of MPSSAA member schools shall participate in the sport program on a varsity level. (b) Schools shall be prepared to host home school contests on the school site. Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association Handbook 202 5-26 Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association | 39 (c) A plan of action shall be submitted to the Executive Director 30 days prior to the spring MPSSAA Board of Control meeting and shall include: (i) Tournament structure (ii) Estimated budget (iii) Historical background (d) A state tournament shall evolve from district/regional tournaments. AWARD CRITERIA .08A(2) “Awards from outside the school may be given to individual athletes or school teams provided the awards are approved by the local superintendent, meet MPSSAA guidelines, and the presentation is made at a school approved function.” MPSSAA Guidelines : Awards presented by non -school organization(s) to the school and/or athlete, excluding scholarship(s), must display the school name or insignia and team or individual accomplishment. Commercial messages may not be displayed on awards such as articles of clothing, jewelry, luggage, etc. LOSS OF INSTRUCTIONAL TIME .09C(3)(d) “Participation in the event is within the USA, does not involve loss of instructional time, and complies with the local school system policies and procedures for school -sponsored travel.” Interpretation : Events that require out -of-state travel beyond 300 miles may not involve any loss of school time. AMATEUR RULE .10A “ Students who have not used or are not using their athletic skill as players for financial gain, or who have not competed under assumed names as players, shall be considered amateurs. Employment as an instructor, counselor, or official may not be considered a violation. ” Interpretation : Interpretation: Students and/or the student’s parents may accept reasonable and necessary expenses for transportation, lodging, and/or meals as well as monetary rewards within the regulations of the recognized amateur athletic organization or under the Uni ted State Olympic Committee’s “Operation Gold” program without compromising the student’s amateur eligibility. Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association Handbook 202 5-26 Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association | 40 Officials REQUIREMENTS Officials for MPSSAA -sponsored athletic contests, both regular and postseason, are to be certified and registered with the MPSSAA office.
