This page contains links to the rules that govern the game of HNSL youth soccer.
During its April's meeting the board of directors of the High Noon Socer League approved changes to the rules that will affect the game for all age groups under age 12. HNSL is following the national guidelines as approved in the Spring of 2003. These rules are gradually adopted by all state youth soccer associations.
