The classification of schools for all other activities will be based on the September 30th numbers of the current school year for students in grades 10-12. Schools may apply to have students who have used up their athletic eligibility prior to entering grade 12 be excluded from the count. Each school must file a completed School Enrolment Declaration (Form E-10) as of September 30 by the date indicated. Penalty for late filing of this form shall be $50.00. Notification will be sent on the second Monday of October to schools entered in the classified activities for not complying. Schools will be excluded from the SHSAA activity if the form is not completed by: Soccer – the Friday of the week preceding Regional Soccer and; Volleyball – the Friday of the week preceding Conference Volleyball and; Basketball – the Friday of the week preceding Conference Basketball. In the event that the number of ineligible students listed on an enrolment declaration results in the school being placed in a lower classification, the principal of the school will be required to forward to the Board, a list of ineligible students, which will include the reason the students have been declared ineligible. Schools with teams participating in the sports listed below shall be classified in the manner indicated based on the number of eligible students enrolled. Eligible students are those students within the period of eligibility as set out by these policies and do not hold a Grade 12 certificate as of September 1. Schools shall be classified as follows: 1A – less than 41 (less than 56 for basketball) total eligible students 2A – 41 (56 for basketball) to 85 total eligible students 3A – 86 to 200 total eligible students 4A – 201 to 500 total eligible students 5A – greater than 500 total eligible students Boys Volleyball Class 5A - 5A Schools Class 4A - 4A Schools Class 3A - 3A Schools Class 2A - 2A Schools Class 1A - 1A Schools Girls Volleyball Class 5A - 5A Schools Class 4A - 4A Schools Class 3A - 3A Schools Class 2A - 2A Schools Class 1A - 1A Schools If there are less than 18 teams in a classification, the next highest classification will send teams with the lowest enrolment(s) down to the classification until 18 teams are present. If there are more than 72 teams in a classification, teams will be moved from this classification, in order of enrolment, to the adjacent classification with the fewest number of teams until the 72-team threshold has been met. In the case where teams are required to move to meet a minimum/maximum threshold in any classification, but there are multiple teams with the next eligible enrolment to move, then all teams with the same enrolment will change classification. In instances where a provincial host is one of the teams to be moved to another classification, that team would not be moved and the school with the next appropriate school enrolment would be moved. Classification for teams will be based on those registered to participate in the activity on the E-10 (enrolment) deadline for that activity. If a team withdraws after the E-10 (enrolment) deadline, no further adjustments to a classification will be made to meet minimum/maximum threshold levels.
