The VHSLWho rules high school sports in the state will immediately adhere to the executive order that is immediately in force.
“The VHSL is an association consisting of 318 affiliated schools with more than 177,000 students who participate annually in sports and academic activities. The VHSL is the administrative body, and our members’ schools are looking at the VHSL for policy and guidance. Until that goal, the VHSL Will comply with the executive order, “said VHSL director John W. Haun in a statement.
“Compliance offers membership of clear and consistent direction.”

The statement also noted that the VHSL -executive committee instructed staff to immediately propose policy changes in the form of emergency legislation to comply with the executive order. Language will soon be adjusted in its policy manual.
“This doesn’t have to be long. It’s all about common sense,” Trump said before he signed the order last week, adding that “women’s sports will only be for women.”
“The war against women’s sports is over,” he said.
Since Trump has signed the order, the NCAA has also officially prohibited Trans -Athletes to participate in women’s sports. Their announcement came one day after signing, a quick response for the collegial administrative body.
“A student athlete who was masculine at birth cannot compete with a ladies team,” is the new policy. The policy enables biological women to compete in men’s sports.
“The NCAA is an organization that consists of 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states that together register more than 530,000 student athletes,” said NCAA President Charlie Baker in a statement. “We are convinced that clear, consistent and uniform suitability standards would best serve the student athletes of today instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and judicial decisions. The order of President Trump offers a clear, national standard.”

Independent female ambassadors Riley Gaines, Payton McNabb, Paula Scanlan, Sia Liilii, Lauren Miller, Kim Russell, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Linnea Saltz and Lily Mullens were present when Trump signed the executive order in the Eastern Room of the White House.
Gaines, who hosts Outkick’s “Gaines for Girls” Podcast was one of those who fought for honesty in women’s sports after she was pronounced about her experience with swimming against Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who won the NCAA championships for women in 2022.
White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing before Trump signed the executive order that it “maintains the promise of title IX”.
“President Trump promised to restore common sense in our country, and he will continue to deliver it with an executive order that he will sign later today,” she added. “The president will sign an executive order, keep men from the sports sports to defend the safety of athletes, to protect competition integrity and maintain the promise of title IX.”
Leavitt also called on the Senate to take on the protection of the Women and Girls Sports Act, which sent the house last month. The bill would forbid biological men to participate in sports teams for girls, while also changing the federal legislation to indicate that student athletes must participate in school sports that coincide with their birth bed.
