OHSAA Approves Postseason Expansion for Seven Sports

The Ohio High School Athletic Association's decision aims to address enrollment disparities and enhance competition fairness.

The OHSAA Board of Directors voted to expand postseason play in seven sports, including soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and softball.
The expansion will create more divisions, allowing for a more equitable distribution of schools based on size.
Executive Director Doug Ute emphasized the move as beneficial for student-athletes, citing long-standing enrollment disparities.
The new structure is set to be implemented in the fall of 2024, with no expected change in revenue.
The decision reflects feedback from member schools and aims to give more students the opportunity for postseason competition.
