NFHS/FHSAA Rule Changes
• NFHS Rule 6-2-1 – Official Game Clock• FHSAA Rule Modification – The official game time will be kept on the
field by a contest official. If a stadium clock is available, the clock will be considered unofficial.
• NFHS Rule 3-3-2B(2) - Substitutions• If the referee stops the clock for an apparent injury to a field player
or goalkeeper, the field player or goalkeeper will have to leave the field. The field player may be replaced and the goalkeeper must be replaced.
• NFHS Rule 5-1-2 – General• The jurisdiction of the officials shall begin on their arrival at the field
of play and its immediate surroundings (to begin their official responsibilities), which shall be no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the game.
NFHS Points of Emphasis
• Sportsmanship• Players, coaches, game officials and spectators must use appropriate language and
refrain from insulting, offensive and/or abusive language and gestures. Behavior on the field should be consistent with athletics as an extension of the classroom.
• Communication• Game Officials are encouraged to effectively communicate with one another as well
as with players and coaches throughout the game.
• Penalty Kick• Once the approach to the ball has started, the kicker’s movement may not be
interrupted. A continuous forward motion throughout the approach is necessary. If continuous forward motion does not occur, the restart is a retake of the penalty kick regardless of whether a goal is scored or not.
• Goalkeepers• Goalkeepers can wear the same colored socks as their teammates but not their
opponents.• Goalkeepers must have a number on the front of their jersey or shorts/pants and on
the back of their jerseys.
NFHS Points of Emphasis
• Concussion Management• The contest official is to be cognizant of student-athletes who
display signs, symptoms or behaviors of a concussion (see NFHS Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion) and immediately stop play for injury evaluation within the rules of the game. At that point, the contest official’s job is done. It is important to note that the responsibility of the contest official is limited to activities that occur on the field. Once the participant has been removed from a contest due to a suspected concussion, the coach, school and appropriate healthcare professional(s) assume full responsibility for that athlete’s further evaluation and safety.
