JOIN THE NFHS NETWORK & GET PIXELLOT CAMERAS FOR $2500/each.
The NFHS Network is offering Pixellot cameras for your football field, gym, baseball, or softball fields to stream your varsity and sub varsity games at a much-reduced cost of $2500/each. This includes free installation. Even if you already have cameras in your stadium and gym but would like to expand to baseball and softball or any other sports, you can get cameras at this price. If interested, please contact J.P. Murrieta or Tyler Dunkel in our office.
AIR QUALITY REMINDER
As the windy season begins, air quality can be a concern. The NMAA has no mandate when it comes to Air Quality, but if the Air Quality Index is above 150, schools may want to consider suspending or postponing practices or games.
COMPETE WITH CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
The New Mexico Activities Association, in conjunction with the NMAA Foundation, will be awarding a maximum of five(5) $1,000 Compete with Class scholarships during the 2024-2025 school year. Awards will be given to students that best exemplify the three pillars of the Compete with Class sportsmanship initiative – Respect, Integrity, and Responsibility. Recipients will be selected by the NMAA Foundation Board of Directors based on recommendations from the NMAA and its member schools.
MAXPREP SCORES
Reminder to input your final score into MaxPreps as soon as possible, following your contest. Having an accurate schedule on MaxPreps with the final score is vital to the seeding & selection process for State Championships.

AUDITING SCHEDULES & DRAGONFLY REMINDERS
The start of the regular season is upon us! Just a reminder to please audit your schedules each week to ensure you have officials scheduled for all contests with accurate game dates and times!
The travel ring policy is now in effect. Remember that you no longer need to determine driver, rider and meal fees. Everyone on the crew receives a travel fee, calculated one-way from each official’s home address to your contest site. That means if the individual official lives 30 miles one-way from your site, they are paid the fee from the 26-50 mile tier ($30), not 60 miles for the round trip! DragonFly will auto-calculate the correct rate for each official for you by selecting the “NMAA Travel” rule on the “Manage Payments” tab after your event. See this video ‘how-to’ link: https://youtu.be/gB_a5KluqHA
Here is the officials fees and travel ring document for 2024-25: https://www.nmact.org/file/Officials_Fees.pdf
For those that are hosting tournaments, if you have not already entered your event in DragonFly, here is a video ‘how-to’ link for building tournaments (remember volleyball pool play matches must be entered as scrimmages to avoid populating in MaxPreps rankings): https://youtu.be/eQNrjlGadfU
