Until then, gloves must have a securely attached NFHS / NCAA label or stamp indicating compliance with test specifications on file with the SGMA. A glove is a covering with individual sections for each finger. The thumb is not considered a finger. 1-5-3b – The rule stating that penalty colored pads or gloves are illegal has been deleted.

  4. Rule Changes 2012 LocationOfPlayCardsRevised 1-5-3c(8) – It is now considered an illegal equipment foul to wear a play card in a location other than on the arm or wrist.

  5. Rule Changes 2012 BlockingBelowTheWaistInterpretationRevised 2-3-7 – The previous interpretation that is was not a foul for a player to block below the waist if the hand(s) of the opponent was first contacted below the waist was revised. The new rule states that such a scenario is now a foul.

  6. Rule Changes 2012 PlayersMustSitOutOnePlayIfTheirHelmetComesOff 3-5-10 – If a player’s helmet comes off completely during the course of a play, and it is not directly attributable to a foul by the opponent, the player will have to leave the game for at least one down.

Key word of a horse collar tackle is “tackle” – must use the collar to pull the player to the ground to be illegal. →All horse-collar fouls are to be treated as live-ball fouls.

  13. Points Of Emphasis Sportsmanship The NFHS has concern over the sportsmanship of running clock games and contests which are blow outs. Contact designed to be “punishing” should be penalized. Taunting and acts of a blatant unsportsmanlike nature should be swiftly addressed. - More vocal officiating - More vigilante dead ball officiating - Preventive officiating
