COLUMBUS, Ohio (6-25-26) – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the new divisional breakdowns for the upcoming fall sports tournaments in girls and boys golf, girls tennis, girls and boys soccer and girls volleyball.

In May, schools were given the opportunity to move up to Division I.  The divisional breakdowns linked below reflect any schools that opted up to Division I in that sport.

The 2026-27 school year will be the first of a new two-year enrollment cycle using data provided by the Ohio Department of Education. The fall sports of soccer and girls volleyball also go through the OHSAA competitive balance process.
