The Southern League consists of high school teams from the central and southern Virgina area and is centered around the southern Chesapeake Bay. It was authorized by vote at the 2004 Winter meeting of the MidAtlantic Scholastic Sailing Association (MASSA), which is a district of the InterScholastic Sailing Association (ISSA). In contrast to the Central and Northern leagues, the southern Chesapeake Bay already had an organized high school sailing league, the Virginia Interscholastic Association (VISA). They have a director, Randy Stokes, and a web site which can be found at www.sailvisa.com ( Go to the VISA web site by clicking on this line.)

The leagues will be responsible to hold the majority of sailing opportunities for member schools. They are also in charge of selecting teams to attend the district events. We may post specific information, schedules, results, here when they become available, but the main source of information for the Southern league is the VISA web site, above.
