Warm Up 15-Second Horn
Where in the book(s) does it discuss the timer sounding a horn at 15-seconds in the each of the 2-6-6 warm up periods?
(Yes, I admit this is a stupid question. :) ) |
It doesn't.
That's when the double-whistle is to be used. Rule 5-5-3b.13 Keep in mind that the specific timing of warmups is not an NFHS rule. Those are determined by the state (or in rare cases, the league). |

And, if the book(s) don't cover it, that explains why I couldn't find it during a quick perusal. |
I suspect that there isn't mention of the 15 second double-whistle warning for warmups in the rule book, since warmups aren't determined by NFHS.
FYI: In our area, we have been instructed to add the 15 second double-whistle for warmup periods. |
My practice is to sound the horn with 15 seconds left in each of the warmup periods and at the end of each period to remind teams to change over. However, this may change to a long whistle if I am working a game at a venue where multiple courts are used.

In my area of IL, we were told to use the horn during warm ups. After that, time outs, between sets, etc, it is the 15 second double whistle.
