Ballard High School and the Ballard Community School District agree to adhere to the IAHSEA Expectations of a School or School District (2026�27). Esports at Ballard High School operates under the same eligibility framework as all other Ballard athletic and activity programs. Participation and attendance is a privilege, not a right.

Esports athletes at Ballard High School are representatives of the school and the Ballard community, and are held to the same standard as athletes in any other school-sponsored activity. Designated Esports Coordinator (DEC) The DEC agrees to fulfill all responsibilities in the IAHSEA Expectations of a Designated Esports Coordinator, including: remaining current on IAHSEA rules and communications via the website and Discord; managing rosters, schedules, and coaching-staff awareness; modeling and enforcing positive conduct; monitoring and reporting online toxicity or harassment; verifying student eligibility; fielding competitive teams for all scheduled events; and, upon full membership, voting in association ballots and attending the IAHSEA Annual Meeting each June.

The DEC may also serve as a coach. If the DEC role changes hands, Ballard will notify the IAHSEA and name a successor without interruption to the program.
