NCASB Sports
Throughout the school year, our students compete in a conference called the NCASB (North Central Association of Schools for the Blind).
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.

Have a fun and safe Holiday!

Life gets busy & it’s easy to let things slip through the cracks. Philosophers argue that selective forgetfulness is essential for emotional health.
