Volleyball Rules Committee Approves Four Changes for 2014

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee ap-proved four rules changes during its January 6-8 meeting in Indianapolis. The recommended rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

With a mind toward school spirit, the committee approved the addition of a school name or mascot reference to be placed on the sleeve(s) of solid-colored jerseys, providing it appears in either 4-by-4 inch or 3-by-5 inch space. The solid-colored jersey, as speci-fied in Rule 4-2-2 Note, is required in 2016 but is currently permit-ted.

“Schools are wanting to put a mascot or [the high school’s abbrevi-ation] on the sleeves of the solid-colored jerseys,” said Becky Oakes, NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Volleyball Rules Commit-tee. “The committee thought ‘how do we allow them to promote school spirit and team unity, but yet preserve the integrity of the solid color and not make a change that becomes more restrictive?’ Now, [it is allowable] to have a 4x4 or 3x5 [logo] on the sleeve.”

Another rule change approved by the committee was clarifying the responsibility of the second referee to whistle and signal out of

bounds for an antenna fault on his or her side of the net.

“This change provides clarification that if the ball is going out of bounds over the antenna on the side of the second referee, he or she is in a better position to look up and make that call better than the first referee,” Oakes said. “Now, by rule, the second referee can and should make that call.”

The other changes include a whistle by the second referee to end a time-out if the audio signal has not sounded and both teams are ready to play prior to the end of the 60-second time-out, and allowing the line judge – if requested by the first referee – to be positioned to the side and in line with the extension of the end line for servers on the left side of the court. This positioning allows the line judge a clear view of any line violations for which he or she is responsible before moving back into position following the contact of the ball for serve.

NFHS Defines Targeting to Reduce Risk of Injury

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – In an effort to reduce contact above the shoulders and lessen the risk of injury in high school football, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Foot-ball Rules Committee developed a definition for “targeting,” which will be penalized as illegal personal contact.

The definition of targeting and its related penalty were two of 10 rules changes approved by the rules committee at its January 24-26 meeting in Indianapolis. All rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

Effective with the 2014 high school season, new Rule 2-43 will read as follows: “Targeting is an act of taking aim and initiating contact to an opponent above the shoulders with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulders.”

Bob Colgate, NFHS director of sports and sports medicine and liaison to the Football Rules Committee, said the committee determined – in its continued effort to minimize risk of injury in high school football – that it was important to separate and draw specific attention to this illegal act.

“Taking aim with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoul-ders to initiate contact above the shoulders, which goes beyond making a legal tackle, a legal block or playing the ball, will be prohibited,” Colgate said.

A new definition for a “defenseless player” was also added to Rule 2 for risk-minimization purposes. Rule 2-32-16 will read as follows: “A defenseless player is a player who, because of his physical position and focus of concentration, is especially vulnerable to injury.”

In an effort to reduce the risk of injury on kickoffs, the rules com-mittee approved two new requirements in Rule 6-1-3 for the kicking team. First, at least four members of the kicking team must be on each side of the kicker, and, second, other than the kicker, no members of the kicking team may be more than five yards behind

the kicking team’s free-kick line.

Rule 6-1-3 also notes that if one player is more than five yards behind the restraining line and any other player kicks the ball, it is a foul. In addition to balancing the kicking team’s formation, the change limits the maximum distance of the run-up for the kicking team.

“The Football Rules Committee’s actions this year reinforce a con-tinued emphasis on minimizing risk within all phases of the game,” said Brad Garrett, assistant executive director of the Oregon School Activities Association and chair of the Football Rules Committee.

In other changes, new language was added to Rule 8-5-1 and states that “the accidental touching of a loose ball by a player who was blocked into the ball is ignored and does not constitute a new force.” In addition, roughing the passer fouls now include all illegal personal contact fouls listed in Rule 9-4-3, which result in auto-matic first down in addition to a 15-yard penalty.

The remaining changes approved by the Football Rules Committee are as follows:

Rule 1-1-7: Provides state associations authority to require game of-ficials to be on the field more than 30 minutes prior to game time.

Rule 2-24-9: The intent of an illegal kick was clarified. Now, when an illegal kick occurs, the loose ball retains the same status that it had prior to the illegal kick.

Rules 3-3-3 and 3-3-4: With this change, in order to extend or not extend a period with an untimed down, time must expire during the down.

NFHS Soccer Committee Approves Two Rules Changes for 2014

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Soccer Rules Committee ap-proved two rules changes during its January 27-29 meet-ing in Indianapolis. The recommended rules changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

The committee approved a requirement that a goalkeeper must leave the field when he/she is injured and the referee has stopped the clock. This decision was made in order to minimize the risk of further injury.

Previously, an injured field player was required to leave the field of play when the referee stopped the clock, but an injured goalkeeper was not. Now, according to Rule 3-3-2, both the field player and goalkeeper must leave the field. Additionally, the goalkeeper must be replaced by either a field player or a substitute.

“The committee wanted to make sure that players who were apparently injured were evaluated by a coach or an appropriate health-care professional,” said Mark Koski, NFHS director of sports, events and development and liaison to the Soccer Rules Committee. “The overriding concern is minimizing risk to all students.”

Another rule change approved by the committee was to clarify when the jurisdiction of officials begins. It will now begin at the time of their arrival to the field of play and its immediate surroundings, and they are prepared to begin their official responsibilities.

“The original intent was to establish a minimum arrival time for the officiating crew and not to place a limit on the start of their jurisdiction,” Koski said. “Jurisdiction for officials now begins at the time of their arrival and when they are in their true role.”

Previously, the jurisdiction of officials began 15 minutes prior to the start of the game, but teams and officials are of-ten on the field prior to that and this change allows referees to begin official responsibilities earlier.

“The committee feels that the state of high school soccer is at a good place,” Koski said. “They are comfortable with where the game is at right now and do not think that a lot of changes need to be made.”

In addition to the official rules changes, the committee added a sample of the duties for a fourth official.

“A fourth official is being utilized in many states, especially at playoff and championship games. There have been nu-merous requests from state associations to provide fourth official duties,” Koski said. “The committee has elected to add sample fourth official duties that may be adopted by the state associations, but are not mandatory.”
