High School Soccer

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics.

The NFHS writes playing rules for high school sports and provides online education courses for high school coaches and officials through the NFHS Learning Center.

There are two governing bodies in Iowa for High School Soccer. The boys are governed by the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) headquartered in Boone, and the girls are governed by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) located in Des Moines.
