Game Scheduling
Parameters and Points to Consider
- All teams playing in leagues with a master schedule must work in advance with their athletic director to determine available days/times to be turned into the league.
- Varsity head coaches are responsible for creating their schedule and any JV scheduling, as needed. Schedules will be submitted to the athletic office for approval and to avoid conflicts of gym and/or field space.
- High school schedules will be structured to meet all requirements of GHSA. These schedules should also reflect the maximum number of events (or minus one) allowed by GHSA.
- Our opponents can be from any classification, but coaches should be cognizant of where their team is in its growth. Schedules for each season should be challenging and competitive but not overwhelming.
- Distance, traffic, bus availability, and travel expenses should all be considered when creating schedules.
- Holidays, teacher workdays, and exam days should be avoided whenever possible. The list of No Play Dates should always be referred to when creating a game schedule.
- Middle School and high school programs should do everything possible to minimize excessive early release from classes.
Game Contracts
All high school basketball, football, and baseball games will be put under contract. Head coaches will assist the athletic department in contracting all games to ensure that no errors or conflicts exist.
