VHSL Benefit Games

The VHSL Benefit Game offers student athletes and coaches the opportunity to play an additional game while generating additional revenue for participating schools and contributing to the League’s support of athletic and academic activity programs statewide.

The games are optional, one per revenue sport, and may not extend the season.  They do not count against the season limitation in that sport, will not count on a school’s record and will not be used as part of the football ratings system.  Benefit Games must be revenue producing.  After expenses, the competing school will each receive one-third of the net income and the remaining one-third share will be sent to the VHSL.  A Benefit Game must be played prior to the first regular season contest and must be in lieu of an authorized scrimmage.  Benefit Games must be approved in advance by the VHSL.
