This isn’t your grandfather’s football.
It’s fast. It’s physical. And, it’s evolving all the time to make sure rules are putting player protection first.
One example: in 2014, the NFHS introduced a targeting rule. And, according to a study in the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine, that rule has played a role in reducing contact that keeps students on the sidelines.
Smart rules. Real results. It’s a whole new ballgame—and it’s waiting for your student.

The second week of September is the peak of the high school football season, with 7,246 games across the country.
From the very first practice to the last game of the season, high school football prepares players for LIFE.
Football is different than most high school sports because it offers 88 opportunities to participate in a game!
Looking back on this high school football season, what mattered most weren’t the stats, the final scores, or the wins and losses.
As another high school football season comes to an end, who players were when they stepped onto the field is not who they are when they step off of it.
