5 Elimination of Clipping in Free-Blocking Zone Continues Risk Minimization in High School Football INDIANAPOLIS, IN The elimination of clipping from high school football is the latest attempt to reduce the risk of injury made by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Football Rules Committee. The decision to eliminate clipping in the free-blocking zone (Rule ) was the most significant of three rules changes recommended by the NFHS Football Rules Committee at its January meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. With very few major rules changes approved by the NFHS Football Rules Committee for the 2016 season, it indicates that the committee feels that the rules of the game are in pretty good shape, said Bob Colgate, director of sports and sports medicine at the NFHS and staff liaison for football. Clipping, as previously stated in Rule , was permitted in the free-blocking zone when it met three conditions; however, clipping is now illegal anywhere on the field at any time. According to the rule, the free-blocking zone is defined as a rectangular area extending laterally 4 yards either side of the spot of the snap and 3 yards behind each line of scrimmage. The NFHS Football Rules Committee s action this year on making clipping illegal in the free-blocking zone once again reinforces its continued effort to minimize risk within the game, Colgate said. Committee and assistant executive director of the Oregon School Activities Association. Other changes for the 2016 season will include those made to football protective equipment and gloves in Rules 1-5-1d(5)a and 1-5-2b. The committee expanded the options on what can now be worn as a legal tooth and mouth protector and also football gloves, Colgate said. Tooth and mouth protectors that are completely clear or completely white are no longer illegal. Rule 1-5-1d(5)a continues to require that tooth and mouth protectors include an occlusal (protecting and separating the biting surfaces) portion and a labial (protecting the teeth and supporting structures) portion, and that they cover the posterior teeth with adequate thickness. In Rule 1-5-2b, football gloves are now required to meet either the new Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) specifications or the existing National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) test standard at the time of manufacture. I give my compliments to the voting members of the NFHS Football Rules Committee as they continue to put the health and safety of studentathletes at the forefront of all committee discussions regarding the future of the game, Garrett said. I look forward to ongoing conversations about how best to limit exposure to harm within the free-blocking zone and in situations involving defenseless players, said Brad Garrett, chair of the NFHS Football Rules A complete listing of all rules changes will be available soon on the NFHS website at Click on Activities & Sports at the top of the home page, and select Football. New Lineup Procedures Approved in High School Volleyball INDIANAPOLIS, IN The process for submitting lineups in high school volleyball has been revised for the season. In addition to the revision in Rule regarding lineup procedures, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Volleyball Rules Committee recommended eight other rules changes at its January 4-6 meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. Following each set, coaches will be required to submit a numeric lineup to the scorer before one minute remains in the timed interval or intermission when used. Rule now states that if a player s number is duplicated in more than one starting position (including the libero), the clerical error shall be corrected by either changing the libero s number to another legal number or by substituting a player into that starting position with a legal number. The committee wanted to provide greater clarity in the wording and organization of Rule 7-1-4, said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Volleyball Rules Committee. In addition to correcting clerical errors as addressed within the rule, the libero is now included as a possible option when a player s number is listed twice. An emphasis on rule clarity was also applied to Rule 11-2 Penalty 2, which the committee altered to offer consistency in the application of unnecessary delay penalties. Oakes said if a team has used its allotted number of time-outs and requests a third time-out, the resulting penalty would be an unnecessary delay and no longer carry the automatic loss of rally point for the opponent. The penalty of unnecessary delay for the request of a third or subsequent time-out can be applied regardless of whether the second referee acknowledged it with a whistle and time-out signal. Another change approved by the committee includes a new procedure in protocol used by the first referee to begin the prematch conference, as is covered by Rule 5-4-1h. When the referee sounds a double whistle and raises a coin in the air, each team s head coach and captain(s) are expected to meet at the official s table. The committee believes this will eliminate the need to track down those individuals who are required to participate in the prematch conference, Oakes said. It will assist the officials in consistently and efficiently getting the conference started and beginning the match. The committee also revised Rule , which clarifies that if a team is going to use an intermission between sets two and three, it can only be used for promotional or special recognition activities and not solely as an extended time interval.

6 Offside Rule Revised in High School Soccer INDIANAPOLIS, IN A new interpretation of the offside rule in high school soccer is among the rules changes approved for the season. The new language regarding offside in Rule is one of two major changes recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Soccer Rules Committee at its January meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. The rules are in fairly decent shape, said Theresia Wynns, NFHS director of sports and officials and liaison to the Soccer Rules Committee. The committee wasn t looking to make wholesale changes. They were looking at existing rules and making sure they reflected today s trends in the playing of the game. Offside is one call in soccer that was identified in the annual NFHS survey as being incorrectly administered, Wynns said. This change makes offside more understandable and should result in better administration of the offside rule. Previously, an attacking player who was in an offside position at the time that the ball was played by a teammate, could be penalized and ruled offside when the ball was deflected by or rebounded from a defender to the attacking player even though the defender tried to play the ball. The new rule changes this situation as the attacking player in an offside position when the ball was kicked by a teammate who gets a rebounded or deflected ball after it was deliberately played by the opponent (except from a deliberate save), is no longer offside and is not considered to have gained an advantage. An example of this new rule would be if attacking player A1 kicks the ball to teammate A2 who is in the offside position behind defender B, and defender B jumps to play the ball but is unable to control the ball as it touches the top of his/her head and deflects to Player A. In this situation, since B played the ball, A2, although in an offside position, is not offside, Wynns said. One important point to remember about offside is that being in an offside position does not mean that a player is offside. To be offside, a player must be involved in active play, interfering with play or an opponent, or seeking an advantage. A change in Rule now mandates a penalty for a violation by the kicker prior to taking a penalty kick to be the same as a violation by any other member of the attacking team. Previously, a violation by the kicker prior to taking the penalty kick resulted in the kick being retaken. The rules committee felt that all attacking team violations during a penalty kick should be treated equally. An example of a violation by the kicker in a penalty kick situation is an interruption of movement in the approach to the ball, Wynns said. Previously, this violation would result in a verbal warning and a rekick. Under the new rule, the ball can be kicked and the result is the same as any other attacker violation. One result might be that the goalkeeper saved and held the ball. In this case, play will now continue, where previously a rekick would occur. The committee wanted to be a little more consistent with penalty kicks.
