Beginning with the 2012 season, regional alignments for boys’ and girls’ soccer will resemble those of the other sanctioned team sports in a measure approved at Wednesday’s meeting of the KHSAA Board of Control.

“This is an important step in the progression of soccer and one that will allow the sport to grow into a strong geographical alignment like the rest of the team sports,” said KHSAA Assistant Commissioner Michael Barren. “We hope the closer proximity of districts and regions will allow schools that may have been hesitant to add the sport to go ahead and do it now.”

The adopted alignment has 16 regions with district alignments based on feedback from the membership and discussion from the Board of Control.

“Though this alignment may appear somewhat non-traditional in that regions do not have uniform district sizes, it will allow new schools to add the sport and increase our participants,” said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett.
