Who we are
The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) is the principal governing body responsible for overseeing high school athletics, cheerleading, and marching bands across the state of West Virginia. Operating under a volunteer, non-profit framework recognized by county school boards, the commission standardizes eligibility rules, certifies sports officials, and presides over regional band festivals and state championship tournaments for 13 different sports. To promote fair play and address historical enrollment size disparities, the WVSSAC utilizes a competitive four-class division system (Classes A through AAAA) determined by a unique algorithm factoring in school population, localized median parent incomes, and geographic proximity to large towns.
