2009 NHSSA Contest Schedule - National High School Skateboarding Association

The goal for 2009 will be to have a North Los Angeles Region, Central Los Angeles Region, and South Los Angeles Region. Each "region" will have 15 high school teams.

In an effort to keep increasing the level of talent, only the best schools will advance throughout the season. The regular season in each region will be cut to a two event season. After two events, the top five teams from each region will move on to compete in a semi-final event to determine which high schools will move onto the finals. The final event will include the top ten teams from the semi-finals.

The first season of team skateboarding at the high school level launched under the name the California High School Skateboard Club (CHSSC) in the spring of 2007. With strong interest outside California the name of the organization had be changed to the National High School Skateboard Association (NHSSA) for the 2008 season and beyond.

In an effort to keep increasing the level of talent, only the best schools will advance throughout the season. The regular season in each region will be cut to a two event season. After two events, the top five teams from each region will move on to compete in a semi-final event to determine which high schools will move onto the finals.
