The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) is an organization that sponsors activities in thirty-three sports, comprising 374 public and private high schools in the U.S. state of Massachusetts,. The MIAA is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), which writes the rules for most U.S. high school sports and activities. The MIAA was founded in 1978, and was preceded by both the Massachusetts Secondary School Principals Association (MSSPA) (1942-1978) and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Council (MIAC) (1950-1978). Notably, the MIAA does not use the NFHS ruleset for football, choosing instead to use National Collegiate Athletic Association (college) rules with minor modifications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.miaa.net/contentm/easy_pages/view.php?page_id=6&sid=38&menu_id=157 )〕 It is the only state in which high school football is played in 11-minute quarters. The only other state association that plays high school football under NCAA rules, University Interscholastic League, uses the NFHS standard of 12-minute quarters. ==Sports== * Baseball * Basketball * Field Hockey * Football * Golf * Gymnastics * Ice Hockey * Lacrosse * Ski * Soccer * Softball * Swimming & Diving * Tennis * Track & Cross Country * Volleyball * Wrestling Girls wrestling gained MIAA status in 2011.〔("MIAA considers adding rugby to its purview" ), ''Boston Globe'', Bob Holmes, April 30, 2015.〕 Rugby will become the MIAA's 35th sport in 2016, following a 2015 MIAC vote that passed by a wide majority.〔("Tuesday’s school roundup: MIAA votes to add rugby for 2016-17" ), ''Boston Globe'', Eric Russo, May 6, 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
