The definition of a lift is not included in the NFHS Rules Book. 9-4-5 gives the following:
Quote:
|
ART. 5 . . . Legal contact is a touch of the ball by a player’s body above and including the waist which does not allow the ball to visibly come to rest or involve prolonged contact with a player’s body.

The lift is considered an illegal hit - check the signal chart and you will not find a signal for a lift.
