MIAA Handbook
This Handbook provides policies and procedures that guide the Association and its school leaders. Individually and collectively, the belief is that positive educational outcomes of interscholastic athletics do not happen by chance. They happen because teacher-coaches and school administration adopt an intentional and purposeful approach to the interscholastic athletic experience.
