WIAA, or the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, is a voluntary, nonprofit organization dedicated to organizing and developing interscholastic athletic programs for its diverse membership of public and nonpublic high schools, as well as public and nonpublic middle schools. With over 500 high schools in its membership, the WIAA aims to promote the ideals of its member schools and provide opportunities for participation in various sports. The association emphasizes the importance of interscholastic athletics as an integral part of the total education process, reinforcing the values of good citizenship and sportsmanship.

With a focus on maintaining uniform standards in athletic competition and safeguarding against exploitation, the WIAA ensures fairness and equal opportunities for all participants. As a member-governed organization, the WIAA's rules and policies are developed and implemented by its member schools. Changes to its constitution, bylaws, and eligibility rules require a vote from the entire membership, while sport season regulations are determined through a democratic committee structure.

Ultimately, each member school holds the responsibility for compliance with the association's rules and regulations. For any inquiries or concerns, individuals are encouraged to first reach out to their local school administration. The WIAA can be contacted at their headquarters in Stevens Point, WI, through phone, email, or fax during office hours
