The purpose of the study was to evaluate the organization and administration of the interscholastic athletic programs in the AAA public senior high schools of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The study was based on the following null hypotheses:
1. There is no significant difference of opinion among the various levels of administrators that the organization and administration is inadequate in governing the interscholastic athletic program in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
2. There is no significant difference of opinion among the various levels of administrators that a supplemental Public High School Athletic Association in their region in coordination with the League office in Charlottesville would improve the organization and administration of the interscholastic athletic program.
3. There is no significant difference of opinion among the various levels of administrators that the student should have little input about decisions concerning the organization and administration of high school athletics.
An opinionnaire was mailed to 371 administrators representing the school beard members, chief school administrators, principals, athletic directors, and assistant athletic directors, Therefore, opinionnaires were sent to 70 school board members, 35 chief school administrators, 98 high school principals, 98 athletic directors, and 70 assistant athletic directors.
The data was kevpunched and the computer was programmed to handle the statistical analysis of the data, Data included:
1. Frequency and percentage of response.
2. Analysis of possible relations between and among items within the opinionnaire.
3. Analysis of possible relations between the opinions of the various levels of administration for descriptive purposes, Statistical significance of the relations examined were determined by the use of Chi-square Analysis.
4. One-way Analysis of Variance was used to examine each hypothesis for statistical significance, The .05 level of confidence was considered significant for the rejection of the null hypothesis. Returns were received from 336 of 371 administrators (90.5 percent) of which 328 were used, Eight of the returns were not used for various reasons.
On the basis of these analyses, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. A significant difference of opinion does exist among the various levels of administration that the organization and administration is inadequate in governing the interscholastic athletic program in the Commonwealth of Virginia, This evaluation concludes that the Virginia High School League is doing an adequate job for the AAA Public Senior High Schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the organization and administration of interscholastic athletics, The five levels of administration in 1977 support the Virginia High School League goals, objectives, rules, and regulations for the administration of interscholastics.
2. A significant difference of opinion does exist among the various levels of administration that a supplemental Public High School Athletic Association in their region in coordination with the League office in Charlottesville would improve the organization and administration of the interscholastic athletic program, The athletic directors and assistant athletic directors are for such a supplemental association to improve interscholastic athletics and the principals and chief administrators are opposed to such a supplemental association. Board members are indecisive, All groups combined would not be in favor of such a supplemental association at this time to improve the communication, the organization, and the administration of interscholastic athletics in the AAA public senior high schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
3. A significant difference of opinion does exist among the various levels of administration that the student should have little input about decisions concerning the organization and administration of high school athletics, This evaluation concludes that the student should have input about the decisions that are made concerning policies, rules, regulations, and scheduling of interscholastic athletics in the ASA public senior high schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia. / Ed.
