VHSL Handbook

The VHSL Handbook is intended primarily for the use of member high school administrators, coaches and sponsors in the administration of the school activities programs, but it should also prove valuable as a reference for all those concerned directly or indirectly with interscholastic activities relationships in Virginia.

 

The Handbook contains official information concerning League officers and administration, organization and membership, rules and regulations, and activities programs. It is distributed to all public and private secondary schools in the state, to all division superintendents and to many allied organizations and interested individuals. Suplements to the Handbook are published regularly throughout the school year.
