(Changes/Deletions are in parentheses.) FORM A STATE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF ADDING A FOURTH SEASON (SUMMER) TO THE NSAA CALENDAR. Interschool sports sponsored by the Association shall be divided into (three) FOUR seasons: Fall, Winter, (and) Spring, AND SUMMER. The section/paragraph/sentence that needs to be added/deleted/changed would read as follows: FORM A STATE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF ADDING A FOURTH SEASON (SUMMER) TO THE NSAA CALENDAR. Interschool sports sponsored by the Association shall be divided into four seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Cost Analysis of Proposal: Transportation, meals, lodging are possible committee meeting expenses. Rationale for the proposed change: By adding a fourth season, the association would reduce the number of activities in the other three seasons, thereby providing better balance overall. There would be less pressure on multisport athletes that must choose between sports offered during the same season. Moving activities to the summer months would alleviate some of the concerns with student/athletes missing school due to competitions.
