RE: High School

kane of hilo, hi usa asks...

how many players are allowed on a high school roster?

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

There is no specified size in the NFHS rule book. Unlike the international Game where 11 players and 7 substitutes are specified as maximums nothing in the NFHS rules limits the size of a squad. Perhaps looking to the leagues policies might sort this one out for you.

You may, at the proper opportunity, replace all the players currently on the field with substitutes if you have sufficient substitutes.

Regards,

I suppose it's unlimited, but that is kind of silly. Check with your state association to see if they have their own rule regarding roster size in place.
