The IHSA does not have any say or jurisdiction over youth football. There is the Illinois Elementary School Association that deals with middle school sports and they use NF rules with some minor modifications. If you are talking about Pop Warner or Bill George Leagues for example, these leagues are not under any jurisdiction of the IHSA. Pop Warner and other youth leagues have their own bylaws and rules that might be outside of the NF rules (mercy and eligibility as an example). The IHSA only deals with High School Sports and their member schools. That is it.
