About National Federation of State High School Associations

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is the national governing and leadership body for most high school sports and many performing arts activities in the United States. Based in Indianapolis, it writes the playing rules used by the majority of high school athletic programs, offers educational resources and certification for coaches and officials through the NFHS Learning Center, and supports state associations in administering education-based activities. NFHS is also closely associated with the NFHS Network, which streams high school events online, and with various publications, conferences, and leadership initiatives serving nearly 20,000 high schools nationwide.

A charge labeled “NFHS” on a card statement is typically related to one of several activities: purchasing or renewing access to NFHS online courses or certifications, buying rule books or other NFHS publications, registering for NFHS conferences or meetings, paying membership-related fees through a state association portal that passes charges through to NFHS, or, in some cases, streaming or subscription services linked to NFHS-branded digital platforms. These are usually one-time or periodic charges tied to education, certification, or membership, but may appear as recurring if you’ve enrolled in automatically renewing services.

If you have questions about an NFHS charge, start by checking email receipts from NFHS, the NFHS Learning Center, or the NFHS Network, as well as any school or state association communications about courses, rule books, or event registrations. Log into your NFHS Learning Center or NFHS Network account (if you have one) to review your order and billing history. If you still cannot identify the transaction, contact NFHS through the contact form or phone number listed on nfhs.org, or reach out to the NFHS Network support channel if you suspect the charge is tied to streaming. For unrecognized or suspicious activity, you can also dispute the charge with your card issuer while you seek clarification from NFHS or the relevant platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases commonly show up as an NFHS charge on my card?

Common NFHS-related charges include fees for online courses or certifications through the NFHS Learning Center, purchases of rule books and other publications, registration fees for NFHS conferences or meetings, and, in some cases, payments tied to NFHS-affiliated streaming (often through the NFHS Network). Review recent activity in your NFHS accounts and any school or state association communications to match the amount and date.

Is the NFHS charge on my statement a subscription or a one-time fee?

Many NFHS charges are one-time payments for a specific course, rule book, or conference registration. However, some services—especially streaming access through NFHS-branded platforms or recurring educational access—may renew automatically. Log into your NFHS Learning Center and, if applicable, NFHS Network account to see whether you have any active subscriptions or auto-renewing services.

How can I cancel an NFHS-related subscription or recurring billing?

To cancel an NFHS Network or other NFHS-branded streaming subscription, sign in to your account on the relevant site or app and visit the subscription or billing section to turn off auto-renewal. If your subscription was set up through a mobile app store (such as Apple or Google), you must cancel it through your app store’s subscriptions settings. For recurring educational or membership-related billing, contact NFHS via the support options listed on nfhs.org or through your state high school association to request cancellation.

How do I request a refund for an NFHS charge I don’t recognize or no longer need?

First, identify what the charge was for by checking your accounts on the NFHS Learning Center and NFHS Network, as well as your email for order confirmations. If you believe you were charged in error or wish to request a refund, contact the appropriate support channel: NFHS Learning Center support for course-related purchases, or NFHS Network support for streaming subscriptions. Provide your name, email address used on the account, approximate charge date, and transaction amount so they can locate your order and determine refund eligibility.

Why do I see multiple NFHS charges in a short period of time?

Multiple NFHS charges close together often occur when you purchase several courses or rule books separately, register for multiple events, or have both a streaming subscription and an educational purchase processed around the same time. In some cases, you may see a temporary authorization followed by the final posted charge. Review your order history across NFHS services and verify that each transaction matches something you or a family member authorized.

Can NFHS place temporary authorization holds on my card?

Yes. Like many online merchants and platforms, NFHS-related systems (including streaming services and online course portals) may place a small temporary authorization hold when you add or update a payment method or start a new purchase. These authorizations typically drop off automatically within a few days and should not result in duplicate final charges. If a hold does not clear or turns into an unexpected posted charge, contact NFHS or the relevant platform’s support team and your card issuer.

How can I verify that an NFHS charge is legitimate and not fraud?

To verify legitimacy, cross-check the date and amount of the charge against your NFHS Learning Center and NFHS Network order histories, as well as any NFHS-related emails from your school, state association, or NFHS itself. Ensure the website addresses you use are official (ending in nfhs.org or other clearly NFHS-branded domains). If you cannot match the transaction to a known purchase and no one in your household recognizes it, contact NFHS support and your card issuer immediately to investigate and, if necessary, dispute the charge.

How do I contact NFHS about a billing or account issue?

For general NFHS billing or account questions, go to nfhs.org and use the contact form or the main phone number listed in the Contact section. For course or certification issues, access support through the NFHS Learning Center after logging in. For streaming or subscription issues associated with NFHS-branded broadcasts, use the NFHS Network’s help or support page. Having your transaction amount, date, and the last four digits of your card ready will help them resolve your issue more quickly.
