Elevating the Reputation and Respect of the Athletic Administrator |

Elevating the reputation of the athletic administrator requires a concerted effort through professional development, certification, community engagement, and a commitment to fostering a positive school culture.

Heat Acclimatization for Linemen in High School Football |
Exertional Heat illness (EHI) is the leading cause of preventable death and disability in high school athletics. EHI is a collection of illnesses including heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), heat exhaustion and exertional heat stroke (EHS).
These affect approximately 9,000 high school athletes annually, at a rate of about 1.20 per 100,000 athlete exposures.

How we behave at high school athletic events matters.
That’s why we’re kicking off the third year of the #BenchBadBehavior campaign. Since launching this initiative in 2022, our goal has remained the same: Addressing the bad fan behavior epidemic nationwide.
With your help, we can set the tone for this school year and make it clear that bad behavior will NOT be tolerated.
Each month, we’ll send you new social media posts to share on your Facebook and X accounts, just like the one below.
Thank you for reminding your entire school community to always #BenchBadBehavior at high school athletic events! Let’s keep the momentum going all year long! |

Get FREE resources to proactively address bad behavior at your athletic events! The toolkit includes a player-parent contract, printable flyer, program ads, social media templates, videos and more! |

What Do Your Athletes Need?
The right Eligibility Center account is the first step toward recruiting!
|
|
For student-athletes wanting to play at an NCAA Division I, II or III school, knowing which Eligibility Center account type is right for them is a critical step in the recruiting process. The right Eligibility Center account is an important step in the process toward certification, which is required for your athlete to be eligible to practice, compete and receive athletics aid when recruited. |
|
|
|
|
When your athletes register at eligibilitycenter.org, they have three account options. Which account they need depends on where they are in the recruiting process and which division they plan to attend, among other factors. Click here for more information on which account is the right one for your athletes.
Still unsure which account is right? Encourage your student-athletes to reach out to the Eligibility Center at 877-262-1492, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, if they have questions when creating an account.

Expanding Opportunities for Students in High School Sports, Activities |
Expanding opportunities in high school sports has been the storyline of two major announcements from the NFHS this week – an incredible week that has demonstrated the value of education-based activity programs in our nation’s schools.
On Monday came the news that the NFHS will be writing playing rules for flag football – the nation’s fastest-growing emerging sport. At the request of our member state associations and with the support of the NFHS Board of Directors, the first national rules for the sport will be in place for the 2025-26 season.
Already more than 30 states have either sanctioned flag football for girls or are involved in pilot programs, and about 43,000 girls nationwide are playing the sport. With the national rules structure in place, those numbers are certain to explode over the next few years.
Yesterday, at a press conference in Indianapolis, we reported that there were more than eight million participants in high school sports in the 2023-24 school year. Talk about comebacks!
Since the first survey after the pandemic, participation in high school sports has increased 444,248 in just two years. We are really pleased to report that for the first time we had more than eight million participants in high school sports. This tells us that our schools are doing a great job trying to engage as many kids as possible in our programs.

NFHS Launches Campaign Against Bad Behavior at Events – Enough is Enough |
Periodically, The NFHS Voice will be presented in the form of video. This week, NFHS CEO Karissa Niehoff unveils the nationwide campaign entitled Bench Bad Behavior which is designed to end the out-of-control behavior by parents and other fans at high school sporting events. This unacceptable behavior is driving away men and women from serving as officials and threatening the future of high school sports in our country. Very simply, this unsportsmanlike behavior must stop — Enough is Enough. |
