Player Protection Is Our #1 Priority

PLAYER PROTECTION IS PRIORITY

When it comes to player protection, high school football wins the game.

The NFHS and its Sports Medicine Advisory (SMAC) Committee put player protection first by drawing from real scientific studies to ensure that game rules and the equipment students use prioritize safety.

The NFHS has never been more focused on player protection. And as the game continues to grow, so will our dedication to student safety.
