Our association has not adopted the IHSA's rule stating the home uniform must be white. WE STILL STAND BY THE OLD RULE OF THE HOME TEAM WEARING 'LIGHT' COLORED UNIFORMS, ESPECIALLY THE JERSEY.

The Boys' Tourney will be Nov. 10-14 and he Girls' Tiourney is Dec. 1-5.  Contact Galen Mahle at   This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  or at 618-246-6764.

They need teams for a Sat-Sun 5th-6th grade tourney in December.  Contact Daryl Murphy at 618-319-0465.

Please contact Drew Franklin at 426-1111.

for their tournament on Oct. 25, 27 or 28, and Nov. 1.  Must have an 8th grade team AND a 7th grade team.  If interested, call Darrin Houck at 618-343-2100.

All rebounders lined up for freethrows will be moved one space closer to the shooter this year in the IHSA and SIJHSAA games. No one will be in the old inside space closest to the basket.

click on Administrative / By Laws on the top menu in order to check the 10 most often asked By Law questions.

We possibly receive more questions on this topic than any other and here is the answer: THE SIJHSAA SIMPLY HAS NO RULE AGAINST A MEMBER SCHOOL HOLDING TRYOUTS AND PRACTICES IN ANY OR ALL SPORTS WHENEVER THEY SO CHOOSE. See By Law ARTICLE IV, Section 2 .

The SIJHSAA does not prohibit students from participating on  non-school sports teams or other sports teams at his/her school.   ARTICLE 2, Section 12 of the By Laws.  We leave those decisions up to the local member school.

A reminder that in each of our sports, we have a few guidelines listed in the By Laws.  Providing there is nothing to the contrary in that listing or in recent mailings/postings, we follow the IHSA rules in most everything. By Laws  ARTICLE 16, Section 1

By Laws ARTICLE 28, Section 2   In BASKETBALL it is 14(or less) and 3 tourneys,  16 and 2 tourneys,  18 and 1 tourney or 20 games and no tourneys.  The 7th grade team has the same rule. 
However, an individual 7th grade player is not restricted to the rule.....He or she is allowed to play the full schedule on both squads if the student's member school allows it.We have no such restrictions in any of the additional sports. There are NO PRACTICE dates in any of our sports.
