Are tinted visors allowed in minnesota high school football?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I recently stumbled across your clearly defined explanation for players to only wear clear visors on their helmets. I also understand that it is the same in the NFL. Players are not allowed to wear mirrored or tinted visors. Recently about a year or two ago I remember hearing of Miami Dolphin's running back getting fined because he was wearing a "sunburst" design visor. The only exception to these rules that I was able to find, was mentioned in a recent article stating that tinted visors can only be worn with special permission from officials. Now this article referring to the NFL rules.

How many varsity high school football teams are there in the US?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most Universities and colleges will have a Soccer Program in effect. There are many women's programs as Women have to recieve the same allocation of funding for Varsity Athletic Programs and many young women are engaged in Soccer from an early age. There is no website that totals the amount of Varsity Soccer teams but from what I could find, it would be better than 85% of accredited Colleges and Universities.

Is it legal for a high school varsity football game to do a center sneak?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There was a lot of confusion in the answers, so here's some rules I've interpreted from the NFHS rules:

A legal snap must leave the centers hands and either handed directly to the qb in a clean manner (if the QB is under center) or in the direction of a player in a position in the backfield to receive the snap (shotgun/pistol/etc...), otherwise you have an illegal snap (same as a false start).

A forward handoff IS possible and IS legal (though it does have consequences, like it is considered a forward pass when considering a second pass for illegal forward pass violations), but to forward handoff to any offensive lineman, the lineman must first turn around, square his shoulders, and face his own endzone. After he does that, he may receive a forward handoff.

A lineman can take a backward handoff at any time.

So with those rules in place, there is no way you can 'center sneak' in any level of football. The closest you can come is to backward handoff to a pulling guard, or something like that.

If a player is ejected from a high school football game will he be suspended for the following game?

The NFHS rules only state that a disqualified player cannot participate in the remainder of the game. (A disqualified coach must leave the stadium.) However, individual state athletic associations may have their own rules regarding participation in future games.

Can a field goal attempt that hits the crossbar and caroms back into the field of play be legally caught by an offensive lineman in the end zone for a touchdown?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the goal posts are the same as referees; they're considered part of the field. For example, a pass that is incomplete by hitting the ground is ruled a dead ball. So if you hit the referee with the ball with a pass it is a dead ball same with the goal post.

What football position should you play on defense?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you like blocking you can be the tackle or a guard. If you just want to sack the quarterback, be the defence end. You can also be a linebacker - they tackle anyone with the ball or cover the wide receiver or tightend. ---- If you are a good tackler, play midfield or wing-back. If you can defend very well and have a good distance kick, play centre-back. If you have good reflexes, try goalkeeper.

What was the change in the NCAA pass interference rule?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After the 1982 season the NCAA changed the pass interference rule from a spot foul to a 15-yard penalty. The catalyst for the change was a controversial call late in the fourth quarter of the 1982 SMU-Arkansas game. The 40-yard penalty enabled the Mustangs to escape with a 17-17 tie and preserve the SWC title.

I’m 14, 6’0, 165, and i throw exactly 38 yards but I feel like I can throw farther with a different ball, everyone tells me it feels really heavy, before reading this i was scared I was below average but I’m right on point As a great QB with a heavy ball, if i get a different ball I’ll probably launch it 42 yards to be honest.

Which high school football program has produced the most NFL players?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Long Beach Polytechnic High school (Coach Don Norford)

In the history of the NFL, Long Beach Polytechnic High school has produced more NFL players than any other high school in the nation.

Norford trains more NFL athletes in the NFL off season than any other high school coach, some who attended Poly and some who did not" Norford has declined several NFL and College Coaching Opportunities.

As of 2008 California leads all US states -producing the highest number of current NFL players from their High schools, but across the U.S., Miami tops the list of hometowns.

A close second in 2008:

  1. Dillard in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
  2. and Tustin in Tustin, California

These 2 schools top the list with the most 2008 NFL players- six each.

Additional Info on Top High Schools that produce NFL Players:

In 2007 The top 2 high schools were:

  1. De La Salle in Concord- 6 players each
  2. Long Beach Polytechnic in Long Beach - 6 players

Last year it was a tie with 6 players each between Long Beach Poly and De La Salle (Concord) -- both California teams. De La Salle added one more player this year, but I'm not certain about Poly. DLS currently has: Amani Toomer - Giants DJ Williams - Broncos Matt Gutierrez - Patriots Demetrius Williams - Ravens Maurice Drew - Jags Derek Landri - Jags Cam Colvin - Niners

Aplington-Parkersburg High has 4 active NFL players. Jacksonville Jaguars C Brad Meester, Detroit Lions DE Jared DeVries, Green Bay Packers DE Aaron Kampman, and Denver Broncos C Casey Wiegmann. Because of them, Aplington-Parkersburg was tied for fifth among high schools for most players on an opening-day roster in 2007 with bigger-name schools like Glades Central, Glenville (Ohio) and Miami Norland.

In 2006 the top five high schools were:

  3. Ely (Pompano Beach, Fla.)
  4. Long Beach Poly (Long Beach, Calif.)
