with Wachovia for several years and
look forward to this additional involvement,"
said Charles II. Adams,
executive director of the NCHSAA.

However, its program offerings
a!so include activities such as
development dance for handicapped
students. The degree of cooperation
needed with the public schools for
this program to succeed is one of the
things that make it winner of both
state and national awards.
Other factors include use of nonphysically
handicapped peer tutors
to work with participants and the
non-competitive atmosphere.
I .ess emphasis on competition is
most reflected in youth programming,
indicated Director Bobby Jones

academic and attendance standards.
It marked the first time in 40 years
that academic and attendance requirements
have been altered.
The National Federation of High
dcnooi aimeuca r ooid?h nuies
Committee has made only a small
amount of changes that will effect the
upcoming fall season.
Tl?e most significant change came
in restricting the offensive player-inmotion
from blocking below the waist
in the free blocking zone.
Shifting on offense also was slightly
changed. The offeasive player of
players shifting now must be motionless
for a fill! ??v?nnH prior to tho
snap of the ball. The player in motion
can also move parallel to the line of
scrimmage whereas in past seasons
the shifting player was required to
motion slightly backwards by definition
Also the penalty for illegal use of
hands and holding was reduced from
15 to 10 yards.
The North Carolina Coaches
Association (NCCA) is entering its
39th year and is stronger than ever
before. Over 98 percent of coaches of

every child participating in county
league play gets to play at least onehalf
of every game. This approach
allows more youngsters to play and
actually helps develop better
players, say the program coordinators.
Coed programs are drawing new

from other county-sponsored teams.
"It's less competitive. They're coming
