All MVP Accounts should already be created: o Superintendents, principals, athletic directors, administrative staff, coaches, activity advisors and

other staff you would like listed on the NDHSAA website and in the member school directory should have MVP accounts with correct email addresses. MVP accounts are how coaches and advisors are assigned to teams.

o One MVP account per person only. Duplicate accounts will be deleted. Users may have several roles in their MVP account.

o MVP Accounts are NOT the same as online testing accounts.

The NDHSAA Board of Directors approved a change in coop names at their September meeting. o NDHSAA will re-design cooperative sponsorship application to include one form that must be signed

by all participating schools. o Set parameters for new coops

Coops must have the same coop name for all activities among same schools Coop should not include mascot name. Cannot have only nickname as a coop name as name alone is not descriptive enough. Can’t be just letters: If a coop exists between two schools and a third school is added, the first two schools

names must remain the same. It is up to the discretion of the participating schools whether they want to append the coop name to include the new school.

Schools may be added to existing coops with no change of coop name. Schools will identify the host school for each sport/activity on the NDHSAA website.

o Set parameters for established coops Multiple coops between the same schools must have same name. Clean up existing coops removing duplicate/similar coop names For schools with similar names, one will be chosen based on NDHSAA records. NDHSAA will use coop name of record as the coop name unless changed. If changed, must

have agreement of all schools and school boards involved in the coop and NDHSAA Board approval.

Schools will identify the host school for each sport/activity on the NDHSAA website.
