Eligibility Roster

Coaches: the Eligibility Roster is due in our office as soon as you qualify for the first round of playoffs in a sport. If your Eligibility Roster is not completed and submitted to MHSAA before the first round of playoffs you will be fined $50.00 immediately.

Additional Notes

Schools that play football or have added football above middle school will be considered football playing schools as it concerns scheduling basketball games.
