State associations like us protect high school sports by keeping them safe, competitively balanced and educational for student-athletes. Ensuring high school sports develop the whole person, not just the athlete. #ProtectThePurpose protectthepurpose.com/posts/2025-26-…

High school sports are EDUCATION-BASED! Where players are students just as much as they are athletes—learning lessons in teamwork, perseverance, empathy (the list goes on) … THAT’S the true purpose of high school sports. #ProtectThePurpose protectthepurpose.com/posts/2025-26-…
