RE: High School

Ben of Madison, Connecticut USA asks...

What are the main differences between regulation soccer rules and high school soccer rules?

Answer provided by Referee Dennis Wickham

With very few exceptions, fouls and misconduct under high school rules (NFHS) are fouls and misconduct under the laws of the game (TLOG). So, when play is alive, there are few differences. Most of the differences occur when play is stopped.

A great chart of the rules differences between NFHS, TLOG and college rules can be found here:
