Lineups and substitutions are managed under which NFHS area?

• A. Lineup Card and Substitution Procedures
• B. Coaches' Roles and Responsibilities
• C. Game Management and Administration
• D. Umpire Duties

Answer: (C)

Lineups and substitutions are part of how the game is run—the procedures and logistics that keep a contest moving smoothly. In NFHS terms, this falls under Game Management and Administration because it covers the how-to of getting players in and out of the game, recording lineup information, and ensuring substitutions follow the rules so play continues properly and fairly. The other areas focus on different functions: umpire duties are about officiating on-field calls, and coaches’ roles describe what coaches are responsible for rather than the administrative process of lineup management. While lineup cards and substitution procedures are essential to the game, they’re encompassed within the broader category of managing and administering the game.
