Sanctioning

All KSA Events are officially sanctioned by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). Therefore, all participating team members must be in good standing of their State High School Athletic Association.

KSA holds a seperate tournament, if necessary, for any private, parochial or other schools that are not members of a NFHS member association. This allows all schools to meet appropriate sanctioning requirements regardless of their affiliation.
