    Spring Football Election for 2013 Season

Schools must elect one or the other, but not both by May 3.

    Below is the listing of the option chosen by each member school for the 2013 season:

    September 4th, 2012

    One week away. Seven days. Approximately 168 hours (or 10,080 minutes). You get the idea. That is how long the anxious student-athletes, coaches, parents, fans and anyone else must wait before the 2012 high school sports season kicks off. It has been a long time coming for these teams and athletes and they are no doubt anxious to get started. With that in mind, here is a look at what is being written around themore»

    As expected, the frequency of team previews in the media are heating up as the start of the high school sports season inches closer. And there is a wide variety to sample today. The first story, however, is not a preview but rather an important piece from the Danbury News-Times about the growing use of steroids among female high school students. A very interesting story, particularly the notion that bucks conventional wisdom that steroids are always used more»

    Start with this; this exercise means absolutely nothing. Breaking down what happened in the past is a fun pastime, but it needs to be clear that there is little to no predictive value in this endeavor. It can just be a fun endeavor to take a look at history to try and find interesting trends, although in this case having more years of data would be even more helpful. Either way, here is a breakdown of the smore»

    One of the new regular features of the new CIACsports.com will be to provide a sampling of the fine coverage of local high school sports by the Connecticut media. In most cases this will never be an all encompassing effort, and there are stories that will be missed. It is simply an attempt to put some more eyes on some of the interesting stories being told around the state. This will surely increase in themore»

    NFHS Statement on Football Helmet Attachments/Accessories

    August 25th, 2012

    Football is a sport with inherent dangers, including the risk of head and neck injuries. Equipment manufacturers have stepped forward with various products intended to address such risks. Questions arise from time to time as to whether a given product may, rather than diminishing the incidence of injuries, in fact enhance it. There has been some discussion lately about the efficacy of attachments to the exterior of football helmets. Until this year, we were unaware ofmore»

    The grass has been cut (or with field turf, has been maintained) and this morning there was the familiar autumn dew on my car. This can only mean the interscholastic sports season is nearly ready to kick off. In fact, most teams are out on the field for pre-season practices already. With that in mind, it seems the perfect time to take a brief look at the recent CIAC Tournament results to get a feel formore»
