The NSAA representative Assembly met Friday April 13 at 9:00 am at the NSAA office in Lincoln. I serve on the NSAA District III managing committee which also means I represent the district at rep. assembly.
There were only three issues to vote on this year.
Proposal 1A establishes Classification Caucus Committees. Each classification of schools (A,B,C,D) shall form a caucus which meets each year to initiate proposals to the NSAA that deal with issues that only impact schools in their classification. This means that B-R will attend a caucus with other class D schools to develop proposals for class D schools. The proposals will be screened by a Classification Caucus Review Committee and either approve, disapprove, or submit the proposal by to the caucus with recommendations.
I am interested to see how this works next year.
Proposal IIA allows the use of hand held dummies at football practices when the no-contact rule between bodies is in effect. This should improve player safety during no-pad football practices.
Proposal IIB allows the use of hand held dummies during summer camps and clinics. Again, this will improve player safety.
