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 the 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. 20
2017 - 2018 Policies & Procedures
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. 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. Age Limitation A student who has attained her 19th birthday before August 31 of a given academic year is not eligible to participate. 5. Limits of Participation a. High School team members may participate in interscholastic athletic contests in a maximum of four seasons in any given sport within the 9th through 12th grades. b. A student who has graduated from a domestic secondary education program is not eligible to participate. c. A student may participate in two IAAM sanctioned sports per season. Written notification must be sent to the Executive Director prior to the submission of rosters for approval and tracking purposes. d. No Middle School student can participate on JV or varsity IAAM teams. 6. Migration between squad levels a. Regardless of the league status of an athletic competition, a student may not compete in two squad levels of the same sport in the same day. b. A student may play temporarily at a higher level in extenuating circumstances upon agreement between the competing Athletic Directors and the Sport Committee Chairperson or Executive Director.

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 non- member school, may transfer to and participate in interscholastic athletics, at any level, without penalty. 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.

2017 - 2018 Policies & Procedures
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. ARTICLE FOUR: OUT OF SEASON PRACTICE POLICY AND GAME LIMITATIONS 1.

Summer Activity: June 1 through July 31 will constitute the summer. This is considered as an open period. 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.

2017 - 2018 Policies & Procedures
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.

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 games, meets and matches, however the videotaping of opponent’s practices or scrimmages is a violation of IAAM policy. Infractions should be reported to the League’s Executive Director. (May 9, 2017) 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. ARTICLE SIX - SANCTIONS AND PENALTIES 1.

IAAM ALL-CONFERENCE SELECTION PROCESS (adopted May 2012; revised 2015) The IAAM defines All-Conference Selections as a varsity athlete who has displayed a combination of exemplary skills, performance, and sportsmanship in that IAAM sport. ALL-CONFERENCE NOMINATIONS DUE • Tennis Friday, October 13, 2017 • Field Hockey, Soccer, and Volleyball Friday, October 20, 2017 • Indoor Soccer Friday, January 26, 2018 • Basketball Friday, February 9, 2018 • Badminton Friday, April 20, 2018 • Softball and Lacrosse Friday, May 4, 2018 1. Approximately two weeks before the end of the regular season an electronic form will be sent from the Executive Director to each participating Athletic Director and Head Coach. 2. On this form, coaches are encouraged to select players from their own team who they feel should receive consideration as a Conference All-Conference. The number of nominations from any school will be limited to the number on the form. (5 for all team sports, except basketball, 4). 3. Coaches will nominate their players by name, position and number. There will be a short space for comments for each individual nominee. Coaches may choose to briefly state reasons why an individual player should be considered. Nomination should be (or is) based solely on the players’ conference/interscholastic play/ performance. 4. Players who are not on the “league issued” ballot are not eligible for the IAAM All-Conference Team. 5. Nomination forms must be emailed by the due dates listed above from the school’s Athletic Director to the League’s Executive Director no later than the indicated due date. If a school has no candidates, nomination forms still must be submitted. 6. Schools who fail to submit their nominations or ballots in the required time frame may be fined $25. 7. A composite of the nominees will be created and a ballot will be sent back to the coaches of each individual school. Coaches may not vote for their own players on these ballots. 8. All-Conference Selections will be chosen from these ballots. Team sports will reflect 1.5 times the number of starters for the sport (rounding “up” when necessary) with no sport having less than 10 All-Conferences. 9. Coaches or a school representative must be present at the End of Season Meeting in order for their athletes to be considered and selected as an All-Conference selection. 10. Each vote will count as one point per athlete. In case of a tie between two players, both players will be selected as All-Conference. If more than two (2) players are tied, there will be a re-vote with the names of the players who tied. The re-vote will continue until the tie is broken. 11.
