Coaches Advisory

There are committees for each of the sports sponsored by the WIAA and each committee consists of four to eight persons, depending upon the number of schools involved in each sport. They are appointed by WIAA staff and approved by the Board of Control. One of the members of each committee is the president (or president's representative) of the respective coaches association. The committees review their particular sport and recommend changes in rules that are channeled through the Sports Advisory Committee. Members usually serve three-year terms and each committee meets once each year.
