The KSHSAA Board of Directors voted Wednesday to allow high school basketball teams to play 23 games during the regular season starting with the 2025-26 season.
A proposal initiated by the Kansas Coaches Association and advanced to the Board of Directors by the KSHSAA Executive Board, changes the allowable games a student may participate in from 20 to 23, not counting the postseason. The item was passed with a 36-25 vote.
Other passed measures allow students to participate in 32 baseball and softball games throughout the course of a season, and allow tennis athletes to participate in one outside competition during the school season.
