The state schools in our conference include Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Â
Seven different sports are offered within NCASB: Track and Field, Goalball, Cheerleading, Wrestling, Bowling, Forensics, and Swimming. Â
Several schools also have an E-Sports Club
IHSA Sports
Students in grades 9 through 12 may compete in Illinois High School Association (IHSA) swimming and wrestling seasons.
In swimming, the IHSA features a separate division for individuals from all schools in Illinois who are blind or visually impaired. Â The girls’ season takes place in the fall, while the boys’ season is in the winter.
IHSA wrestling (winter) does not have a separate division like swimming, but does have the rule for constant-contact for all matches involving blind or visually impaired wrestlers.
