This podcast discusses National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Football Rules. From the angle of seasoned High School Football Officials, brothers Matt and Luke go through the rule book section-by-section and discuss the obvious and not so obvious rules associated with high school football! Once the Rules are covered, weekly discussions about actual plays, detailed breakdowns of rules and enforcements, and their experiences as high school football officials will be discussed.

In this episode we go over the Pregame topics. YES! you should have a pregame with your crew. Yes! you can continue to get better. Yes! someone will blow it off but it's important to move from the office to the field and the best way is to discuss a few key topics each week.
