LEAGUE-WIDE CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT PLAN Schools within the IAAM shall have a Concussion Management Plan on file to address student-athletes who exhibit signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion and shall be removed from practice or competition and evaluated by an athletics healthcare provider with experience in the evaluation and management of concussion. Student-athletes suspected with a concussion shall not return to activity for the remainder of that day. Further evaluation by a Certified Athletic Trainer or physician will be needed to determine the extent of the head injury. Medical clearance shall be determined by the school, team, or treating physician, and/or athletics healthcare provider. The IAAM recommends requiring student-athletes and their parent to accept responsibility for reporting their injuries and illnesses, including signs and symptoms of concussions, to institutional medical staff. Schools are advised to have a strong educational program in place to address the dangers of playing and participating in athletics with concussions. Administrators, faculty, athletic staff, coaches, parents, and student-athletes should be required to participate in these educational programs. (Adopted May 2011.)
IAAM HEAT ACCLIMATION POLICY Schools within the IAAM shall have a Heat Acclimatization and Hydration Plan on file to address proper heat acclimatization as part of their Fall Preseason Practice Period. This Plan should be created and agreed upon by the Head of School, Athletic Director and the Certified Athletic Trainer and reviewed by the school’s legal counsel. There are a number of resources available for schools and staff, please contact the IAAM League office for further assistance. (Adopted by the Heads of School on May 15, 2013.)

2015 - 2016 Policies & Procedures
RULES AND REGULATIONS The purpose of this organization is to provide structured and organized support for interscholastic competition for female students at member schools. To achieve this, it is the intention of this association to regard athletics and competition in the context of the educational process. The educational objectives of athletics in the IAAM include the promotion of the physical, mental, moral, social and emotional well being for all students. The IAAM embraces the highest ideals of fair play, integrity, dignified and ethical conduct and respect for self, opponents, and officials. The Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland values the diversity of its member schools and respects the unique qualities amongst these institutions. References to the IAAM’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or rules shall mean the IAAM’s Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and rules as they may be amended from time to time. ARTICLE ONE - CODE OF CONDUCT It is expected that athletic program staff be an extension of their school’s philosophy and objectives. A good example will be set through behavior, attitude, and self control in an educational setting. As we, the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland, expect sportsmanlike behavior from our schools’ athletic program staff, we also expect that of our participants and spectators. We are playing in the spirit of the game, and winning is not our only goal. ARTICLE TWO - ELIGIBILITY OF STUDENT-ATHLETES 1. Purpose The purpose of the eligibility rules contained herein is to uphold the objectives and standards of this Association and to provide equitable competition for the student-athletes of the member schools. 2. Eligible Students Commencing with the date of enrollment at a member school, a full time student, who is in good standing according to the policies of the particular member school and subject to the other limitations herein prescribed, is eligible to participate in league competitions in the IAAM. Students are considered full time and part of the school community when they take a majority of their academic classes on campus within their school, during the traditional school year. Home Schooled students who have participated in a sport at a member school as of September 2003 would be exempt from this requirement. www.iaamsports.com

2. Eligible Students continued... Foreign-exchange athletes who practice and play on high school teams MUST meet the criteria established by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) and comply with the MPSSAA’s Standards of Competition. 3. Amateur Status To be eligible to participate in contests of the IAAM, a student must be an amateur. As such, she may not receive, directly or indirectly, any salary, stipend, incentive, payment, financial award, gratuity, gift, educational expenses or expense allowance as a result of participation in any sport or sports team. In order to preserve students’ eligibility for college athletics, IAAM athletes are required to adhere to the policies for avoiding “professionalism” as defined by the NCAA. 4.

2015 - 2016 Policies & Procedures
7. Transfer Students (Adopted May 2008, amended May 2011*) Definition of a Transfer Student: A transfer student is one who changes enrollment from one school to another after high school matriculation. Academic Year Transfer: A student-athlete may not represent two schools in athletics in the same academic year regardless of the competitive level she has participated. Therefore, any student transferring during the academic year is not eligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, at any level, during that academic year if she has participated in athletics at any level at her previous school. (“Participated� refers to physical entry into a bona fide school-sanctioned athletic contest.) *The only exceptions to this transfer policy are (a) if a student were to change their primary residence; a change in primary residence means a move of more than 30 miles from their present residence (would include Out-of-State Boarding student) or (b) if a student’s present school eliminates the athletic program in which she is participating. Open Enrollment Period: An Open Enrollment Period will be offered for member and non-member student-athletes. From June 1 through September 1, student athletes transferring from any member or nonmember school, may transfer to and participate in interscholastic athletics, at any level, without penalty. In order to qualify under this guideline, all appropriate paperwork must be completed and the enrollment contract deposit must be paid on or before September 1. The IAAM reserves the right to request copies of any enrollment contract. The student-athlete must physically be attending classes on the first day of fall classes or by September 1, whichever is later. If the opening of the member school is after September 1, the required paperwork and deposit must be complete on or before the September 1st date. Any student transferring from member to member school must have satisfied all financial obligations at the previous school before participating in any interscholastic athletics, games or practices. 8. Rosters Member Schools must submit an Official IAAM Roster form for all varsity and junior varsity teams by the dates provided by the League. Any changes to the Official League Roster must be submitted in the form of an amended roster as soon as the change occurs. Please note that once an athlete is placed on a varsity roster, that athlete may not migrate down to the junior varsity level, under any circumstances.

ARTICLE THREE – RECRUITMENT In conformity with the purpose and spirit of this Association, the following principles govern the manner in which member schools influence and encourage a student to become affiliated with a school: 1. No school, through any of its officers, representative or by any other means, shall directly or indirectly offer inducement to a student of any school, regardless of the student’s age or academic grade, to terminate enrollment at said school and migrate to another for athletic purposes. 2. It is considered appropriate for a school’s admissions department to provide a student information about its school; however coaches and other members of a school’s athletic department are prohibited from contacting or communicating with a student or the student’s parents/guardians until such time as an inquiry regarding the student’s possible admission to the school has been initiated by the student’s parent/guardian through the admissions department. This policy does not preclude attendance by coaches or member school representatives to non-high school athletic events for the purpose of screening prospective student athletes. On the occasion that a prospective student athlete or her parents seek information from a member school’s representative attending a non-high school event, the school’s representative may answer preliminary questions about the member school. The school’s representative should indicate to the prospective student athlete and her parents that further contact by an athletic department representative cannot be made until the admissions department at the member school is contacted by the parents. 3. IAAM schools may not initiate contact or “recruit” middle school students who are enrolled in other IAAM schools, while the students are representing their IAAM school. 4. Athletes being recruited to member school teams, who have not yet officially attended a day of class and regardless of age or grade, may not practice or participate with a member school team during the regular season. Additionally, they may not participate in any out of season practice or game which primarily involves players from the member school’s team. This does not apply to incoming 9th grade or transfer students who have signed enrollment contracts and are trying out for a fall team. 5. The Association recommends that assistance to students be granted only on the basis of “demonstrated need”. Any Member School that awards financial assistance not based upon determined need to students, including a specific disclosure related to athletic assistance, must submit a specific disclosure to the Executive Director for inclusion in the Annual Report of the Association.

This date will be the earliest date which will allow for tryouts, player evaluations, practices and interscholastic contests to occur. At the end of each season, a league Championship will take place. This final contest will mark the formal ending to a particular sport season. All competitions beyond the championship date must receive approval from the Executive Director. b. Blackout Period: Two weeks prior to the start date and two weeks after the Championship game will be considered a blackout period where player - coach workout contact is dis-allowed.

c. Out of Season Contact: School year contact (August 1st through May 31st) which occurs before the start date or after the end date of a sport season (excluding the blackout period) will allow for up to two hours of coaching contact, per sport, per week. This time limit is cumulative for all coaches per sport. Coaching contact will include any team meetings, film sessions, skill and drill oriented instruction, open gyms, out of season contests, and conditioning, etc. In addition, the use of the school name, school issued uniforms and the payment of associated fees, by the school, for out of season activities are prohibited. d.

e. Club Teams: IAAM coaches who also coach team sports at the Club level may work with up to 80% of what would constitute the starting line up for that sport. IAAM coaches who also coach individual sports at the Club level may work with up to 80% of the previous season’s submitted IAAM varsity roster. The “out of season” contact rule does not apply to IAAM coaches who are coaching Club teams. f. Restrictions: Any interaction by an IAAM coach with his / her players involving “out of season” contact may not be considered as a mandatory activity nor should it discourage multi-sport participation by the athletes. It is the intent of this policy not to prevent coaches from working with their athletes, but rather, to protect the athletes that the coaches work with. 2. Game Limitations: Each sport is allowed the following number of contests per season: FALL: WINTER: Field Hockey: 18 games Basketball: 22 games Tennis: 18 matches Swimming: 18 meets Volleyball: 18 matches Indoor Soccer: 18 games Cross Country: 18 meets Indoor Track: 18 meets Soccer: 18 games
SPRING: Lacrosse: Softball: Badminton: Track: Golf:

Each sport is allowed the following, in addition to the number of designated games: • Three scrimmage dates. A “scrimmage date” may involve (but is not limited to) several games i.e. playday, one 5-day trip would equal two scrimmage dates (i.e. Spring break lacrosse trip). In a scrimmage, scores are not kept or reported by the member schools to the newspaper; • One in-season tournament,(i.e. Christmas basketball tournament); • The end-of-season Championship tournament; • Teams may opt to “mix and match” their scrimmages with their game schedule, never to exceed the agreed upon number of contests. 3. Videotaping Schools, or their representatives, may videotape their own contests, however the videotaping of opponents, outside of your own competition is a violation of IAAM policy. Infractions should be reported to the League’s Executive Director. ARTICLE FIVE - FORFEITURE OF CONTESTS A member school may not arbitrarily, intentionally, and unilaterally forfeit a scheduled competition with another member school. It is the competence of the Executive Director to determine the arbitrary or intentional nature of forfeiture. 22
