### Maryland Interscholastic Sailing Association League

[edit]

High School sailing in the state of Maryland is regulated and run independently of all other sports in the state. Rather than any of the aforementioned conferences or leagues, sailing is instead regulated under its own body called the Maryland Interscholastic Sailing Association. This body is a part of the wider High School-age Interscholastic Sailing Association, which regulates High School Sailing in the United States. Sailing is unique amongst High School sports in Maryland in that it does not split private and public schools into different leagues, is entirely co-ed, and allows middle schoolers to participate in limited competitions. Schools which participated in the Fall 2024 Season are shown below.

* Annapolis High School
* Archbishop Spalding
* Bethesda - Chevy Chase High School
* Bishop O’Connell High School
* Broadneck High School
