The Minnesota State High School League’s board of directors approved an experimental rule for football that would require at least four players on each side of the kicker when an onside kick is attempted.

The experiment, supported by coaches and officials, is designed to restrict unsafe contact. The NCAA has a similar rule. The experimental rule will be implemented this fall. A permanent change could come in 2012 or ’13.
