Posted by Staff on September 7, 2022 - 6:00am

COLUMBUS–On September 6, the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced the new divisional breakdowns for upcoming spring sports (2023). The OHSAA Board of Directors approved the new divisions during its meeting the prior week.

For the first time, the OHSAA’s spring sports will include boys volleyball. There will be two divisions of boys volleyball due to the spike in the number of schools now having a team, which has gone from 85 to almost 160 schools since the OHSAA announced earlier this year that it will sanction the sport.
