The rules presentation is mandatory and must be viewed by all officials by the established deadline.

2011-12 FHSAA Football Championships
3.7.3.5.4 Official Ball.The Spalding J5V Advance or the Spalding TF-SB1 shall be the official ball(s) of the FHSAA State Football
Series. The use of one of these balls shall be mandatory in each
district tiebreaker, regional tournament game, state semifinal game and
FHSAA Finals game. The host school shall ensure the use of the official
Spalding football. If the visiting team desires to use its own footballs,
it may do so provided it furnishes its own Spalding J5V or TF-SB1
model. The purchase of Spalding footballs, if necessary, will be
considered an expense of the tiebreaker or game and reported as such on
the financial report form. Spalding and the FHSAA will provide the
actual footballs to be used both in competition at the FHSAA Finals.
Failure to comply shall subject the host school to penalties including, but not limited to, financial penalties and revocation of state series event hosting privileges in the respective sport.
Contest Officials
Football Official Associations:
We hope your football season is
going well. As a reminder, please review NFHS rule 1-5-3b(5) with
members of your Association. It states “The following items related to
Pads and Padding are illegal: 5. Rib pads and back protectors unless
fully covered by a jersey.” I’ve seen a high number of exposed back
protectors early in the season. Unlike NCAA, these pads must be covered
by the jersey.
Please be proactive and preventative with this
issue during pre-game and early in games. Overall, we’ve done a good
job with adornments and knee pads covering knees. Keep up the good work
in this area.
Thank you for your service as a FHSAA football official.
Sincerely,
Gary V. Pigott
Senior Director of Athletics
