NFHS Digital Rules Book Memo

We have moved to our all New NFHS AllAccess platform and I have transferred your subscription to that platform you should have access to all the current books there.

NFHS AllAccess is an all-new, digital platform where NFHS Publications can be accessed. Previously, the NFHS Rules App was limited to Rules Books and Case Books. Now, additional Rules Publications, such as Officials Manuals and Handbooks, can be accessed using the new AllAccess platform. AllAccess is available through our website and as an app on mobile devices.

AllAccess accounts are tied to NFHS.org and NFHS Learning Center accounts. Accounts from our previous NFHS Rules App were specific to that app and sign in information will not be transferred. You must create an account through one of the sites mentioned above if you don’t have one already. It is critical that your email address matches the same one on file with the state association if your state association is providing access to Rules Publications.

If you do not have an NFHS account yet, please visit www.nfhs.org to create one with the email address you received this notice at.

Subscriptions can only be purchased at allaccess.nfhs.org. In-app purchases of subscriptions are not available currently.

The NFHS AllAccess app is also available on both the Apple Store and Google Play Store.

You can also access a help video at https://allaccess.nfhs.org/help

We have found a bug in the system if someone actually creates their account through the mobile app. We are testing the code to fix the bug and hope to have it deployed next week.

In the meantime, If you go to the website, https://allaccess.nfhs.org/, directly and sign in, you should then see their books on the website.

Then if you go back to the Mobile App and Sign out and then Sign back in you should see your books on the mobile app as well.

If you have a question regarding Rules Publications subscriptions, NFHS Coaches Association members and members of the public can contact NFHS AllAccess at allaccess@nfhs.org. Officials who belong to an NFHS member state association should contact their state association. Any Individual with a technical issue can contact NFHS AllAccess at allaccess@nfhs.org

Thank you for your patience.
