Louisiana High School Athletic Association

Media Policies & Procedures

NOTICE: Apply for SPRING Media Credentials here. For more event information please visit the

LHSAA website.

All applied media members will receive a game recap and box score from each 5A quarterfinal, semifinal and

championship game. To receive these updates, including possible weather situations that may affect the

tournament schedule, please include your e-mail and cell number when applying for credentials to the LHSAA 5A

Championship.

Postgame interviews will take place in a designated interview area with requested coaches and student-athletes

following the traditional 15-minute cool-down period at the end of each game. The only on-field interviews that

will take place will be after the fourth quarterfinal contest on Friday and the championship game as we’ll be up

against a few outlets’ deadlines.

The goal of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association is to provide the media with a credentialing

process that is easy to follow. Our objective is to provide a first class, professional environment for

working media, and to provide extensive, hospitable services during state tournaments. We recognize the

difficulty of covering the state championships, and we acknowledge the rights and responsibilities of

bona fide media representatives as they cover and report on these events. The LHSAA appreciates the

positive publicity our schools and athletes receive as a result of your work.

Reputable news-gathering organizations will understand the need for the LHSAA to have the following

policies and procedures for media attending and covering our tournament events.

Please note that the following policies apply only to competition conducted by the LHSAA member

schools during the LHSAA championship events. Failure to comply with the following policies and

procedures will result in your outlet having its credential privileges suspended by the LHSAA.

Media Credentials:

The LHSAA Championship events are an once-in-a-lifetime experience for most of the participants and

as such, the LHSAA and its site management personnel must demand stricter clearance and behavioral

standards.

All credentials must be worn and displayed at all times and are only to be used by (A) full-time and/ or

significant part-time employees. Those employees (B) must be 18 years or older and (C) must be in a

legitimate working capacity. LHSAA media credentials are not for the use of children, sponsors, friends,

family, spouses, parents or other individuals not representing a legitimate media outlet.

Applying for Credentials:

A media outlet may request media credentials by clicking here.
