NFHS Introduces Updated Version for NFHS Digital Rules App

BY NFHS ON July 6, 2026 | NFHS NEWS, PRESS RELEASE

The NFHS, in partnership with RefReps, is proud to announce the release of NFHS Digital 2.0, a major upgrade to the NFHS Digital platform designed to make rules publications, case books, guides and officials resources easier to access.

Built by RefReps, NFHS Digital 2.0 represents a significant step forward in the digital experience for officials, coaches, administrators and others who rely on NFHS publications. The updated platform was reimagined based on user feedback, focusing on faster navigation, better search, more flexible reading options, and a more connected experience across publications.

“NFHS Digital 2.0 reflects our continued commitment to the people who rely on NFHS rules and resources, and it builds on feedback we’ve heard from users across the country,” said Davis Whitfield, incoming NFHS Executive Director.  “This update makes it easier for users to find what they need, understand rule references in context, and stay connected to the latest information.”

NFHS Digital 2.0 includes a refreshed sign-in experience, allowing users to sign in or create an account using email, Google, Apple or RefReps. Once inside the platform, users are welcomed with an overview of the new features and improvements included in the release.

A key addition in NFHS Digital 2.0 is the introduction of ‘Publication Home Pages’. These central hubs give users quick access to each publication’s table of contents, highlights, notes, search, share options and linked publications. Users can jump directly into specific sections, access related materials, and move through content more efficiently.

The reading experience has also been enhanced with continuous scrolling, adjustable text sizing and background options to help users customize the way they view content. These improvements are designed to make rules publications and related materials easier to read and navigate on mobile devices.

The search feature has been upgraded across the platform as well. Users can now search books, keywords, highlights, notes, tags and rule references more efficiently. Global search allows users to find publications and content without first navigating into a specific book, while improved PDF search helps users locate relevant topics faster.

NFHS Digital 2.0 also introduces in-context rule references, allowing users to view related rules directly inside PDFs and case books when one rule references another. Users can quickly preview the referenced rule and then jump to the full rule when needed.

Additional new features include a Bulletins tab for NFHS Digital news and announcements, as well as publication feedback tools that allow users to submit feedback on formatting or potential inaccuracies. Feedback submission statuses can be tracked through the user’s Profile.

“RefReps is honored to continue working alongside the NFHS to build tools that serve the officiating and education communities,” RefReps Chief Executive Officer Kyle Armstrong said. “NFHS Digital 2.0 was designed around the way users actually interact with rules content. The goal is simple: make the information easier to find, easier to read and easier to use.”

NFHS Digital 2.0 is now available in the NFHS Digital app and on the web at https://store.nfhsdigital.org/.

Users are encouraged to update the app and experience the upgraded platform.
