NCHSAA Regulations • A student must not be convicted of a felony in this or any other state, or be adjudicated as a delinquent for an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult in this or any other state.

Player/coach ejection or Disqualification • Any student who is disqualified or ejected from a contest must take the NFHS “Sportsmanship”course (we no longer utilize the STAR Sportsmanship program) before returning to play. There is no fee for this course.
Ejection Policy FLAGRANT CONTACT added as a provision to the ejection policy. Flagrant contact includes, but is not limited to combative acts such as: • Maliciously running over the catcher/fielder without attempt to avoid contact • Excessive contact out-of-bounds or away from playing action that is unwarranted and extreme in nature • Tackling/taking down a player dangerously in a malicious manner • Illegally hitting or cross-checking an opponent in an excessive manner with the Lacrosse stick (crosse) Flagrant Contact carries same penalty as all other NCHSAA Ejection Policy criteria – 1 game in football and 2 games in all other sports. When the combative act causes an opponent to retaliate, it is a fight and carries a double penalty.
Sports MedicineConcussion • A high school athlete should NEVER return to play on the day they suffer a concussion • Returning an athlete to play before complete resolution of symptoms can lead to recurrent concussion, prolonged post-concussion symptoms, OR even ‘Second Impact Syndrome’ (which is often fatal) • An athlete with suspected concussion cannot return to play until he/she is cleared by a licensed medical physician • Managing concussions is difficult even for well-trained and experienced medical providers. Coaches, you do not want this responsibility (or liability). • THIS IS NOW A STATE LAW!
