Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, and guests who took part in the annual NMAA Foundation Golf Classic! The event raised money for scholarships for New Mexico High School students, along with funds for school grants/support. A total of $93,000 was awarded this year through 67 different scholarships and over $20,000 in grants/support was distributed to various schools.
The NMAA Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was set up in 2007 to support the many students that participate in high school athletic and activity programs across New Mexico.

Today’s students will be tomorrow’s leaders.

So, while the goal of playing high school sports is to win, the true purpose is much greater—FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN AND GROW AS PEOPLE.

And that deserves to be protected by us all.

Playing high school sports helps today’s students become tomorrow’s leaders.

The New Mexico Activities Association Board of Directors voted on Thursday to approve several changes to Section 6 of the NMAA Handbook, specifically as it refers to eligibility and transfer bylaws.

Among the changes, students may now transfer schools without penalty and be immediately eligible at the school of their choice on a first transfer, with a few exceptions. Some of those exceptions include, home school and charter school statutes will still apply as will recruitment and undue influence rules. Additionally, foreign students entering without parents and students transferring out of a specialized sports academy will be excluded from the free transfer provision. Students who make a second or subsequent transfer are ineligible for varsity participation for 365 days from the date of enrollment unless they meet one of the following exceptions:
1) bona fide residency change, 2) deceased parents, 3) state custody, 4) first parent-to-parent move, 5) emancipated/married student, 6) boarding school student, 7) deployed parents, 8) did not participate, 9) discontinued program.

These changes must still be approved by the member schools, with a referendum vote.

The NMAA understands that there are several questions students, parents, coaches, athletic directors, and school administrators might have regarding these changes. Here is a brief video explaining the new bylaw.
