2023-24 OSSAA PLAYOFF MEDIA PASSES

The OSSAA wants to make sure that your sports department has everything they need to cover OSSAA playoff events during the 2023-24 school year. The sooner passes are requested the better chance you will receive them in time for the playoffs. Please don’t wait until just days before the playoffs start to request your pass. Please make sure that everyone in your sports department uses the exact same name for your media organization so no passes are lost in printing. The first OSSAA playoff contest this school year will take place on Saturday, September 16th with the Regional Cheer competitions.
1 – By Monday, August 28th, the 2023-24 OSSAA Media Playoff Pass request link will go live on the OSSAA website under the MEDIA tab.
2 – Each full time sports department employee of a recognized media outlet that will be covering OSSAA playoff events during the entire 2023-24 school year will need to request their own pass through the link. Only one pass can be requested per individual.
3 – Each individual requesting a pass will need to complete the free Implicit Bias course on the NFHS Learn website.
4 – Each individual requesting a pass must acknowledge that they have completed the free Implicit Bias course and that they have read and agree to all contents of the Media Requirements, Conditions and Guidelines at OSSAA playoff events.
5 – Once ALL passes from your sports department have been requested individually, the sports director or sports editor must send an e-mail to Van Shea Iven at [email protected] with a complete list in alphabetical order of the people in your sports department who are authorized to receive a pass. Names not on the sports director/sports editors list, will not receive a pass.
