National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS)

www.nfhs.org

The NFHS writes playing Rules for 17 sports for boys and girls at the high school level.

Through its 50 member state associations and the District of Columbia,

the NFHS reaches more than 19,000 high schools and

11 million participants in high school activity programs,

including more than 7.5 million in high school sports.

The NFHS, based in Indianapolis, Indiana,

is the national leadership organization for high school sports and fine arts activities.

Since 1920, the NFHS has led the development of

education-based interscholastic sports and fine arts activities

that help students succeed in their lives.

The NFHS sets direction for the future by building awareness and support,

improving the participation experience,

establishing consistent standards and Rules for competition,

and helping those who oversee high school sports and activities.

As the recognized national authority on interscholastic activity programs,

the NFHS conducts national meetings; sanctions interstate events;

produces publications for high school coaches, officials and athletic directors;

sponsors professional organizations for high school coaches, officials, spirit coaches,

speech and debate coaches and music adjudicators;

serves as the national source for interscholastic coach training;

and serves as a national information resource of interscholastic athletics and activities.

(NHFS) How to contact someone about a rule interpretation.

    Any person having questions about the interpretation of NFHS rules

            should contact the rules interpreter designated by his or her State High School Association.

    Each State High School Association adopting NFHS sports rules

            is the sole and exclusive source of binding rules interpretations for contests involving its member schools.

    The NFHS is the sole and exclusive source of model interpretations of NFHS rules.

            State rules interpreters may contact the NFHS for model rules interpretations.

            No other model rules interpretations should be considered.
