Sportsmanship
Respect! That's what good sportsmanship is all about - plain and simple. VHSL schools are solid in their commitment to conducting their programs in a manner which reflects positively on their schools and communities. Before purchasing a ticket to a VHSL event, please make sure you are aware of our event standards.

The VHSL Calendar is based on the NFHS Standard Weeks Calendar, where Week 1 is the first full week in July each year (Sunday to Saturday).
