NFHS Rules

The NFHS rules are the “science” of officiating. We have positional authority because we wear a striped shirt, whistle, and flag. But if we are not rules experts, we are not properly serving the players and coaches. This Rules section includes ten lessons on the ten NFHS rules. We don’t go into detail in the lessons; instead, we cover essential highlights that should provide the foundation you need. We recommend you supplement the training with extensive self-study.
