CASRA CAPITAL AREA SOCCER REFEREES ASSOCIATION Assigning. CASRA assigns through the ArbiterSports™ Web-based system. CASRA gives rights to coaches and athletic directors to sign into Arbiter, permitting them to see the games and the assignments. CASRA requests that schools check their schedules to make certain that they are correct, especially whenever a change to the schedule has been made. Hugh Blocker (301-332-1283) (hughblocker@aol.com) is the lead assignor for all IAAM schools and should be contacted for any issues.

Billing. CASRA will bill each individual School twice per season: (i) after the first month of assignments (usually the end of September) and (ii) at the end of the Fall season. Each bill will contain a complete listing of all contracted matches for the period covered, indicating referee assignments, dates, locations, level, and the fees and charges payable to CASRA. Payment shall be due within fifteen (15) days of the postmarked date of the bill. Billed amounts unpaid for more than thirty (30) days following the postmarked date of the bill shall be subject to a five percent (1.5%) late fee per month. A School shall have the right to withhold payment on an amount billed that is in dispute, but must pay any undisputed amount unless the amount in dispute exceeds 25% of the amount billed. The parties will attempt to resolve disputed amounts by good faith negotiation within twenty (20) days from the end of the Fall season. Please contact John More (202-256-1515) (jmorecasra@me.com ), CASRA’s Treasurer, with any billing issues.

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 Athletic Certified 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.)

2013 - 2014 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

17

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. 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 one IAAM sanctioned sport per season and a student must complete one season’s play before participating in try-outs and/or practices for the next season. d. No Middle School student is allowed to participate on JV or varsity IAAM teams. However, Oldfields School, as an 8th-12th grade school, may, upon petition of the Executive Committee, have eighth graders join a US team if needed to fill the roster.

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.

18

2013 - 2014 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 the IAAM, the following principles govern the manner in which member schools influence and encourage a student to become affiliated with another member school: 1. No school, through any of its officers, representatives or by any other means, shall directly offer inducement (such as athletic gear, financial aid, promises of playing time, etc.) to a student of any school, regardless of the student’s age or academic grade, to terminate enrollment at said school and transfer to another for athletic purposes. It is considered appropriate for a school’s Admissions Department to provide a student information about its school, when the admissions department has been contacted first by the parent/guardian of the student.

2. 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.

3. Non-need based financial assistance, given for the purposes of athletics, is prohibited. Financial aid should be granted only on the basis of demonstrated financial need. Any member school that awards financial assistance not based upon determined need to students who participate in the IAAM will be subject to sanctions from the IAAM. ARTICLE FOUR: OUT OF SEASON PRACTICE POLICY AND GAME LIMITATIONS 1. Out of Season Practice Policy a. Establishment of a Start Date and Season End date: The IAAM will adhere to a designated Start Date for all sport seasons. 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. (Exceptions to the contact rule would include post-season meetings, team parties, and award ceremonies)

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. 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. 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. www.iaamsports.com

2013 - 2014 Policies & Procedures

IAAM ALL-STAR SELECTION PROCESS (adopted May 2012) The IAAM defines an All Star as a varsity athlete who has displayed a combination of exemplary skills, performance, and sportsmanship in that IAAM sport.

TEAM SPORTS (Refers to field hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball, indoor soccer, lacrosse, badminton, and softball) 1. Approximately two weeks before the end of the regular season a form will be sent from the Sport Chair to each participating Athletic Director and Head Coach.

2. On this form, coaches should select players from their own team who they feel should receive consideration as a Conference All-Star. 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, year, 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 for the current season.

4. Players who are not on the “league issued” ballot are not eligible for the IAAM All-Star Team.

5. Nomination forms must be emailed or faxed back to the Sport Chair 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 drawn up by the Sport Chair 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-Stars 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-Stars.

9. Coaches or a school representative must be present in order for their athletes to be selected as an All-Star 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-stars. 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. All-Star teams will be announced via email the day following the post season meeting.
