The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc. (PIAA) is one of the governing bodies of high school and junior high school sports for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States.
PIAA member schools are known for some of the most highly regarded and competitive high school sports programs in the U.S.[citation needed] The state's lacrosse, football, field hockey, swimming & diving, wrestling, cross country, and basketball programs are considered among some of the best in the U.S.[citation needed]
The PIAA main office is located in the Harrisburg suburb of Mechanicsburg.
History
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/PIAAoldlogo.gif)
Beginning in Pittsburgh, on December 29, 1913, the PIAA was charged with serving its member schools and registered officials by establishing policies and adopting contest rules that emphasize the educational values of interscholastic athletics, promote safe and sportsmanlike competition, and provide uniform standards for all interscholastic levels of competition.
As a result of the cooperative efforts of its membership, PIAA has assisted intermediate school, middle school, junior high school, and senior high school students in participating in interscholastic athletic programs on a fair and equitable basis, thus producing important education benefits.
Districts
The PIAA divides its member schools' counties into 12 geographical districts for the purpose of state championship competition. The following list is the district breakdown by county.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/PIAA_District_Map.png/220px-PIAA_District_Map.png)
- District 1: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery
- District 2: Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming
- District 3: Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York
- District 4: Bradford, Columbia, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, Sullivan, Tioga and Union
- District 5: Bedford, Fulton and Somerset
- District 6: Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Indiana and Mifflin
- WPIAL : Allegheny (except for City of Pittsburgh), Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland.
- District 8: Pittsburgh Public Schools
- District 9: Cameron, Clarion, Elk, Jefferson, McKean and Potter
- District 10: Crawford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Venango and Warren
- District 11: Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Schuylkill
- District 12: Philadelphia Catholic League and the Public League
While this is a general outline of the districts, there are some notable exceptions:
- Private schools within District 8 (City of Pittsburgh) compete in District 7.
- Inter-Academic League and the Friends Schools League are not members of the PIAA, but compete independently as their own organizations. Other private schools in Philadelphia County compete in District 1.
- Philadelphia Catholic League schools previously competed independently as its own organization, but joined the PIAA for the 2007–2008 school year and began participating in playoffs by 2008–2009 within District 12.
- Boyertown Area Senior High School, in Berks County, is a member of District 1.
- Slippery Rock Area High School, in Butler County, is a member of District 10.
- Indiana High School, in Indiana County, is a member of District 7.
- Altoona High School and Hollidaysburg Area High School are members of District 6 but compete in District 7 for football only.
- Palisades High School, in Bucks County, is a member of District 11.
- Fannett-Metal High School, in Franklin County, is a member of District 5.
- Curwensville Area High School, DuBois Area Senior High School, and Clearfield Area High School, in Clearfield County, are members of District 9.
- Ligonier Valley High School, in Westmoreland County, is a member of District 6.
- Keystone Central School District is the only district entirely composed of Clinton County municipalities. The larger of the district's two high schools, Central Mountain, is a member of District 6, while the other, Bucktail High School, is a member of District 4.
- Sheffield Area Middle/High School, in Warren County, is the only member in the Warren County School District that is a member District 9, rejoining in 2005 after several decades in District 10. The other WCSD schools (Warren, Youngsville, Eisenhower) are still in District 10.
- West Shamokin School School District originally participated in District 7, but moved to District 6 in 2016.
East vs. West
Traditionally for state championship competition for team sports, Pennsylvania is divided into Eastern and Western regions. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, and 12 usually make up the Eastern Region; Districts 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 usually comprise the Western Region. The winners of each region compete against each other for the state championship. However, since the creation of District 12 with the admission of the Philadelphia Public Schools into the PIAA, the East vs. West format has been abandoned for some sports in certain classifications, particularly at the Class AAAA level where there are more large schools in the East. For example, in PIAA football, District 3 schools compete in the early rounds of the state playoffs against Philadelphia schools in some classes, and against Pittsburgh schools in others.
Sports
The PIAA sponsors 16 boys' sports and 16 girls' sports. However, the PIAA only sponsors state championships for 12 boys' sports and 11 girls' sports. The following is a list of PIAA sponsored sports championships.
- Boys' sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball and wrestling
- Girls' sports: basketball, competitive spirit, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball
There are Pennsylvania schools that offer sports not fully sponsored by the PIAA such as gymnastics, ice hockey, bowling, rifle, water polo and other Olympic sports. These sports are governed by other sport specific bodies that use similar PIAA rules for classification and eligibility, but are not officially recognized as state champions by the PIAA. The PIAA took over jurisdiction of both boys' and girls' lacrosse in July 2008.
School classifications
Every two years, the PIAA divides the member schools into two to six different classifications for each sport, depending on the number of male or female students enrolled in each school.
The number of statewide member schools participating in a particular sport will determine how many different classifications there will be. For example, boys' volleyball, the sport with the smallest number of participating schools, only has a AA or AAA classification. By comparison, boys' basketball, which has the largest number of participating schools, has A, AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, AAAAAA classifications. The number of A's signify how large or small the school is; Class A is the smallest classification while AAAAAA is the largest. The PIAA tries to place an equal number of schools in each classification.

Because the PIAA determines classifications separately for each sex in each sport, it is possible that a coeducational school may find its boys' and girls' teams in different classes in the same sport. Smaller schools can choose to compete at a higher classification—possible reasons are to maintain existing rivalries, or in rare cases to place their boys' and girls' teams in the same class—but larger schools can not choose to compete at a lower classification level. For purposes of all-star games and awards, the A and AA classes are referred to as small schools, AAA and AAAA are referred to as mid-sized schools, while AAAAA and AAAAAA referred as large schools. In 2016, there was a change, splitting the football tournament into six classifications, instead of the previous four. The PIAA made the decision to expand to six classes in Football, as well as Boys & Girls basketball, baseball and softball. Increasing to four classes is Boys & Girls Soccer, Girls volleyball. Field Hockey is expanded to three classes, and Boys & Girls Lacrosse to two. Football started using these classes with the 2016 season.[3]
Hershey, Pennsylvania
While some sports' championship games have been held at various venues and cities across the state, no city is more associated with the PIAA than Hershey. Hershey's proximity to Harrisburg, as well as easy highway access via the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstates 81 and 83 for teams from across the state makes it an ideal location for the games. Hersheypark Stadium hosts the football, soccer, and lacrosse championships; the Parkview Cross Country Course, located across the street from Hershey Park and Chocolate World, hosts the cross country championships.[4] The Giant Center hosts the basketball, wrestling,and competitive spirit championships. The Hershey Racquet Club hosts the tennis championships.
In 2006, the PIAA announced that they had refused Hershey's application for a contract extension to host the basketball championships at Giant Center. Starting for the 2006–2007 season, the eight championship games will be played at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center. The PIAA cited monetary reasons for the move. As of 2014 they had returned to the Giant Center.
Even the non-PIAA sport of ice hockey hosted the 2005 Pennsylvania Cup championship at the historic Hersheypark Arena. The PIAA football championships have been contested since 1988, with the first games being held at various sites across the state. In 1992, the games were moved to Altoona's Mansion Park, in part because playing four games in two days would not affect the artificial turf playing surface on the field. The football championships were moved to Hershey in 1998 to add to the tradition of PIAA championship competition near the state capital.
State College hosts the baseball and softball championships at Pennsylvania State University.[5] Altoona previously hosted the baseball championships at Peoples Natural Gas Field, home of the Altoona Curve of the Class AA Eastern League. The track and field championships are contested at Seth Grove Stadium on the campus of Shippensburg University, 40 miles southwest of Harrisburg.
