CURRENT NMAA REFERENDA
The NMAA Board of Directors is asking member schools to vote on several referendum items approved at the September 8th Board meeting. The referenda items are available at the link below. Please take the time to carefully review these items and to complete, sign, and return the referenda by 4:00 pm, Friday, September 24, 2021.
REMINDER TO CHECK THE ARBITER
Athletic Directors please make sure you double, and triple check the Arbiter and make sure that all your games are in there correctly. That includes the game times. We owe it to the kids to make sure we have done the administrative side correctly, so that when they put on their uniform officials are there so teams can play.
