This Frequently Asked Questions page aims to assist new site visitors in navigating NCHSAA.org. 

Items that are of great importance to all NCHSAA.org interactors are linked to the navigation bar buttons.  Each button links to information about which the NCHSAA frequently gets questions.

Q.    Where on NCHSAA.org can I find general forms?  For example, I am looking for the Membership Dues form.
A.  Click on the Forms button on NCHSAA.org homepage, which will direct you to the “Non-sports Specific” forms page. Here you will find general forms that NCHSAA members will need throughout the school year.  To locate specifically the Membership Dues form, scroll down to the “Annual Forms” heading. You will see the “Membership Dues” form located there as a downloadable PDF file.

Q.    What information is posted under the homepage's two drop-down boxes?
A.    Information specific to a sport can be found under the “Select a Sport” drop-down.  Information that is of a general nature and not specific to just one sport can be found under the “Select a Topic” drop-down.

Q.    What specific information can I find under the “Select a Sport” drop-down?  For example, I need to find the Indoor Track form that needs to be completed in order to host an indoor track meet outdoors.
A.    Select Indoor Track from the “Select a Sport” list.  This will direct you to a page that only has content relative to the Indoor Track.  Once you have reached the Indoor Track page scroll down to the Request for Scheduling an Indoor Track and Field Meet on Outdoor Facilities PDF file.

 

Q.     What is an example of a topic that might be listed under  “Select a Topic”?  Let’s say I need to find the Eligibility PowerPoint that all coaches have to review and sign-off on before their season begins.
A.     This is an item that is not specific to a sport and therefore would be located under “Select a Topic.”  Click on the drop-down arrow so that the drop-down box opens.  Then scroll down the list of links, which are listed alphabetically, until you find the Eligibility PowerPoint link.
