Revolutionary Changes in Colorado High School Sports: Girls Flag Football, Shot Clocks, Ice Hockey and Skiing Championships Adopted

On Tuesday afternoon, the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council approved the addition of girls flag football as the 18th sanctioned high school sport for girls in Colorado. This decision was met with excitement by Larry Bull, District Athletic Director for Cherry Creek Schools, who commended the hard work and dedication shown by the girls who have participated in flag football.

The council also introduced a shot clock for boys and girls basketball at the varsity level, starting from the 2026-27 season. Rob Johnson, Chaparral Athletic Director, expressed that this development will propel Colorado basketball to the next level and align it with other states.

CHSAA announced that high school ice hockey will start one week earlier in future seasons to maintain consistent venues for the Frozen Four playoff semi-final and state championship games. Moreover, adjustments will be made to spring sports schedules in 2025 and 2026 to prevent championships from overlapping with Memorial Day Weekend.

The skiing state championships will now be divided into two separate events – one for Alpine competition and one for Nordic competition. Coaches returning to CHSAA will have to complete a concussion course refresher, while schools will receive precise instructions for athlete transfer paperwork completion.
