In the briefings of the latest IHSAA board meeting released Thursday, the association announced that the transition of golf seasons from spring to fall for Classes 3A, 2A and 1A was discussed for the third consecutive meeting, and that they took action “to postpone any change in golf seasons for the foreseeable future.”
The IHSAA and IGHSAU had announced in August a move for girls’ tennis and all boys’ golf classes to be played in the fall starting in 2025-26. However, the Board of Control voted to delay the boys’ golf change indefinitely, so the sport will remain in the spring for 2025-26 and until the board considers additional information. The IHSAA’s committees and school feedback structures often cited challenges with small school participation in fall sports, coaching conflicts, and golf course availability. Class 4A boys’ golf will remain in the fall, where it has been exclusively since 1993.
The IHSAA also announced an adjustment to the state soccer tournament schedule, with only the semifinals and finals to be held at Mediacom Stadium.
