The IHSAA does not sanction Middle School Sports. The use of the term IHSAA for grades 5-8 is used to identify those sports offered at the middle schools which are IHSAA sanctioned for grades 9-12.

Club Sports are defined as those which are school sponsored and compete interscholastically, but whose coaches do not receive compensation from the ZCS General Fund and/or are not sanctioned by the IHSAA.
