To help us better officiate our games this season, here are some points of emphasis and guidelines from the National Federation of State High School Associations, the Virginia High School League and CSOA. These guidelines are provided to promote uniformity and consistency among our officials. These guidelines do not cover every situation and when in doubt please apply the following guidelines: first, player safety is our primary concern; second, we want to play all games; and finally, when in doubt use common sense.
Please note there are some changes in the format for the guidelines to better highlight the NHSF rule changes and NHSF Points of Emphasis. The CSOA “italicized” comments are designed to provide you with our procedures concerning these rulings.
