We need to increase our membership numbers. Adidas would like a 6% increase over the 2006 base. If everyone reports what is coming in, Region 1 we will be up 103%. PA’s membership numbers are down. If Adidas were to drop the contract with Region 1, many programs would be cut, ODP could change, National Championships could change as well. All programs would be affected. The impact to replace those funds would be up to $1.00 per player. NHSA needs to increase membership by June 1st.
