The Illinois High School Association Board of Directors met earlier this month in Bloomington and did approve new weekly player limitations in football for 2019. The limitations were recommended by the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee and will be fully implemented as policy for the 2019-20 school year. The limitations are that a player shall not play in more than 2 games in any one week and shall not play in more than one game in a single day. Players also cannot play in games on consecutive days or be involved in live contact in practice the day after playing in a game. One play in a game equals a game played. However if a player plays in a game that is stopped due to weather or other circumstances and completed the next day, the player can participate in the resumed game the following day.
