Academics, athletics, stress, and peer pressure are some of the defining aspects of a high school students’ life. Member schools of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) enforce the chemical health policy in order to educate their athletes to abstain from alcohol and substance use. Students that violate the policy have to face the consequences. The chemical health policy should be strictly enforced so that each athlete learns consequences exist for their actions and to minimize the effect on the team. These rules however are in need of revision to address major ambiguities.
