Athletic Directors and Coaches:

As we move into the third week of the football season, we want to remind you that the health and safety of our athletes is always paramount. In that regard, please be mindful of the 6 quarter rule in football.

Section 158 states:

Students are limited to no more than 6 TOTAL quarters in a given 5 day period.

  1. This includes varsity and sub-varsity contests.
  2. A quarter shall be counted towards this limit if the student participates in one or more plays from scrimmage including special teams.
  3. All plays (offense, defense and special teams) count toward the quarter limit.

If questions arise, please contact the TAPPS office at [email protected] or 254-947-9268.
