Title: Parent & Player Education
Post by: Mad Mike on September 20, 2020, 10:04:05 PM: Our Association is looking to put out some parent and player education on-line for misunderstood rules. Specifically, this is for 4th-8th grade football. We get too many parents trying to apply college or NFL rules to a NFHS rule set. Has anyone put together a list of rules that you would be willing to share that we could use to as a starter to our project?

Like I've said many times, they get their rules knowledge "as seen on TV"
