National Federation of State High School Associations NFHS Soccer Points of Emphasis Take Part. Get Set For Life.
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.
Concussion Management The NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee recommends that no athlete return to play or practice on the same day after suffering a concussion. No athlete should return to sport or other at-risk participation when symptoms of concussion are present and recovery is ongoing. Please see the NFHS Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion in Sports at www.nfhs.org for further information. (See Page 111).
Penalty Kick PENALTY KICK CONTINUOUS FORWARD MOTION 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 Goalkeepers must have a number on the front of their jerseys or shorts/pants and on the back of their jerseys.
Team Bench Area
Closed Cell Foam Padding Hard casts or splints must be padded with closed cell foam at least ½ inch thick It is not bubble wrap, ace bandages or sleeve. It must have slow release compression
Gages These are illegal
House Arrest Anklet This is permitted, but must be covered with padding and then athletic tape.
Inadvertent Horn Situation this past year where a horn went off during play and some of the players hesitated for a moment, but officials called out to play on. A goal was scored moments later. The goal was then disallowed. What is the proper procedure?
Inadvertent Horn The officials should have stopped play when they saw any hesitation or confusion from the players. Restart would be an indirect free kick to the team in possession or a drop ball.
Inadvertent Horn Include this type of incident in the pre-game discussion with the coaches and captains. It needs to be made very clear that outside agents such as noisemakers, substitution horns, and/or whistles from adjacent fields are not part of the game and should be ignored by all participants.
Inadvertent Horn However, in the event that one of these outside agents clearly has an effect on the game/players the play should be whistled dead immediately.. If the referees chose to let play continue because they feel the game was not affected then the resultant subsequent play will stand.
End Of Game We had a situation last year were the timer was calling off the last 10 seconds: The clock went to zero, but the timer was still at 2 seconds in his count down and he did not sound the horn until he got to zero. Naturally a goal was scored in that 2 seconds of extra time. Should the goal stand?
End Of Game As indicated in Rule 7-1-4, a period ends at the expiration of time and in this case when the clock hit zero. In most instances, the clock and the scoreboard horn are synchronized so that the horn sounds when the clock goes to zero.
End Of Game The referee should cover this rule and the sounding of the horn when time expires in the pre-game meeting The 10 second countdown is to alert the officials and the teams that the period is ending.
End Of Game At that time the officials (especially the trailing official) should be watching the clock to make certain when the game ends and when play is to stop.
