The Newton North High School Athletic Department is a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and is therefore governed by Association Rules and Regulations. Additional policies, regulations and rules are set by the Newton School Committee.
Rules governing individual sports vary depending upon the sport.
Copies of the complete set of MIAA rules and regulations are available in the athletic office. One of the primary functions of the MIAA is to sponsor and conduct post-season tournaments leading to the determination of geographical district and state champions. Tournament qualification, divisional placement and geographical district criteria are sport specific. Some of our teams may qualify for regional tournaments, beyond the MIAA tournaments, that are sponsored and conducted by the combined state associations that make up the region of competition. MIAA regulations specify that such tournaments be sanctioned by the Association and be conducted totally under their policies, rules and regulations.
