Kentucky’s athletic sanctioning body has ordered high school sports teams to forgo post-game handshakes in order to prevent fights.

Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett posted on its web site that the organisation has taken this decision after noticing that several fall sports have had postgame incidents, CBS News reported.

Meanwhile, the body said that although it’s “disappointing” to take such action, it became necessary because of occurrences state wide and nationally.

The organisation has also instructed game officials to immediately leave facilities after contests or risk being penalized.
