OHSAA Announces Golf, Girls Tennis, Soccer and Girls Volleyball Tournament Divisions
Football divisions and regions will be announced on Thursday

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the new divisional breakdowns for the upcoming fall sports of golf, girls tennis, soccer and girls volleyball. The divisions and regional assignments for football will be announced on Thursday. The divisions for cross country were announced last Thursday.

Earlier this month, schools were given the opportunity to move up to Division I. The divisional breakdowns linked below reflect any schools that opted up to Division I in that sport.

The 2025-26 school year is the second of the current two-year enrollment cycle using data provided by the Ohio Department of Education.

For golf, the official start date for tryouts, practice and competition is July 28. For all other fall sports, tryouts and practice can begin on August 1, followed by staggered season start dates by sport. State tournament host sites and formats will be announced in August.

Interesting moves in SW D1. 3 fron D2 opt up, Little Miami, Loveland, St Ursula. Mt Notre Dame stays in 2. No surprise St Joe's opts up again, but Magnificat stays in 2. No clue what Copley is doing. SW D2 appears to have just 12 teams, so 3 districts.

LM must have a decent roster; past 3 years below .500.

D1, Region 4 Semi-finalists in 2024 were Fairfield, Milford, Mason, and Seton.
D2 Region 8 Semi-finalists in 2024 were Loveland, Mt Notre Dame, and St Ursula (only 3 teams from Cincinnati made regionals because of #'s.

Maybe Little Miami was taking a calculated risk that they had a better chance to make it further in D1 than D2 not knowing St Ursula and Loveland were making the same move.

D1 will certainly be a much tougher region next season with Seton, St Ursula, Mason, Loveland, etc.
Last year, teams had the option to go through the Columbus region. Seton and Mason both stayed in Cincinnati. Sycamore ended up choosing the Columbus route and lost to Centerville in a district final. If formats are similar, the Columbus route might be a popular choice this upcoming season.
