Associations (NFHS)

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.
