OHSAA Announces Winter Sports Divisional Breakdowns
New girls and boys basketball divisions utilize competitive balance; other sports in second year of two-year cycle
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the divisional breakdowns for the upcoming 2025-26 winter sports seasons. Girls and boys basketball divisions are the only new assignments compared to last season, as those two sports are subject to the OHSAA’s competitive balance process and recalculate divisions every season.
Divisional breakdowns remain the same next season for swimming, bowling and boys wrestling, which do not utilize competitive balance and will be in the second year of the two-year base enrollment cycle. Gymnastics, ice hockey and girls wrestling have one division.
Divisional breakdowns for the fall sports were announced on April 27 and May 1.
