Head First Slide? Illegal?

[Gold_Spark]

I appreciate the replies. I don't have a copy of the 2002 NFHS rule/case book so I wasn't for sure if they changed this rule or not.

The reason I ask is because I am currently calling in a 15-16 yr old tournament that has implemented a no head first slide rule. The strange thing about this rule is that throughout the season . . . the teams within the league were allowed sliding head first.

But then again . . . you've got that (two different leagues, home team rules stand) situation that makes things tricky.

Anyway . . . thanks for the reply.
