Notable
changes in the rules in the past two years:
*Futbol! A player may contact the ball with any
part of her body, including the feet. This brings the high school
rule into line with the rules in college, club, and international
play. The concern that a soccer game might spontaneously break out
has apparently abated.
*Have a Seat--or Not. Coaches are allowed to stand
and coach so long as they are not disruptive and they stay six feet
away from the court between the attack line extended and the end
line extended--the so-called "Libero replacement zone."
The view that coaches need to be leashed to their chairs like rabid
dogs has apparently lost favor in the rules committee.
*Metallica. Unadorned flat pins, no longer than
2 inches, may be worn to control a player's hair. The NFHS is apparenlty
retreating from the knee-jerk fear that "you could poke your
eye out" with all those dangerous hair containment devices.
*In the Zone. This is the "air traffic control"
rule. If more than one substitution is to occur, the substitutions
shall be made in succession. One pair of players after another and
only one substitute shall be in the substitution zone at a time.
*Color My World. It is legal to use colored panel
balls in matches. The colors make it easier for players/spectators
to track the ball, thus adding excitement to the game. For some
unknown reason, the high school authorities have resisted enacting
this subversive change for years.
