Dear Soccer Athletic Director and Coach:
As interscholastic girls’ soccer enters the 38 th season of sanctioned competition by the Colorado High School Activities Association, the progress among our membership continues to increase with the number of student/athletes and teams escalating each season as we welcome the first championship in 2A competition. The outstanding support our programs receive from coaches, athletic directors, schools, officials, parents and communities is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication that propels the steady increase.
This bulletin contains the guidelines, policies, and bylaw references that are critical for the athletic director/coach along with your student/athletes to be acquainted with and understand. We have published an online document that is separated into easy to read informational categories: CHSAA; NFHS; Officials; Post-Season; and Miscellaneous. With this format, the bulletin becomes an integral part of our season and is beneficial when referencing applicable Items.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THIS BULLETIN
Contained within this file, you will find the general policies that will be in effect during the 2015 regular and postseason play as well as a summary of the CHSAA Bylaws along with the National Federation Rules changes and the State Playoff Format. The official’s section includes two avenues for the coach to evaluate each officiating crew following all scheduled matches. We encourage you to share the sportsmanship information with the student/athletes; parents; fans and community.
Please reference your school calendar and remind your administration, players, parents and coaches about special holidays, graduation, SAT, ACT and PSAT testing dates, etc. By notifying them of possible date conflicts, you will be able to help avoid potential scheduling problems. Note: The CHSAA cannot change the playoff dates approved by the Legislative Council to accommodate any of these types of engagements.
Our CHSAA 2015 girls’ championship soccer teams are fortunate to continue to enjoy the atmosphere of the State Championship matches at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The CHSAA Soccer Committee has worked on the school’s behalf to provide a fair and equitable format for the 2015 spring season and this site only enhances the playoff format and experience for all of our athletes.
The principal and/or athletic director can answer most questions you might have concerning the upcoming season. If they are unable to do so, do not hesitate to contact me at the CHSAA office by email at bozzello@chsaa.org. You are also welcome to contact my Administrative Assistant, Audra Cathy at acathy@chsaa.org.
Best wishes on a Successful Season and Thank you for your contribution to high school activities and support of Colorado’s high school students.
Bud Ozzello
CHSAA Assistant Commissioner
