(Effective July 1, 1969)

NOTE: Unless otherwise specified in the rules which follow, the rules and regulations of the North Dakota High School Activities Association for regular high schools apply to junior high schools.

Article I: General Philosophy and Aims to be Considered in an Interscholastic Athletic Program for Junior High Schools¶

Section I¶

The program should be suited to the needs of students of junior high school age. It should provide as broad and varied an athletic program as is possible with an equal opportunity for participation on an equal basis for all students.

Section II¶

The interschool program should grow out of and be operated from as broad a base as possible to offer experience to many students. Experiences in inter-squad competition should be made available to all.

Section III¶

The Association favors an interscholastic program but feels that this program should be very carefully controlled, regulated and limited.

Section IV¶

The program should place considerable emphasis on companionship, sportsmanship, physical skills and techniques and training.
