The NFHS rules changes are out. They cleaned up the out of bounds by going to the one point of contact. We now have the same 2, 3 and 4 point near fall as college. A takedown will now be three points. These are the three major changes. High school wrestling will look different next season!

The NFHS is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics as well as fine and performing arts programs. Within our 51 member state associations, we serve 19,500 high schools and more than 12 million young people.
