VPA | Rule Review | BLE-Only

Is HyperPulse legal in Vermont?

Vermont high school sports operate under Vermont Principals' Association (VPA), which follows NFHS rule baselines. HyperPulse is designed as a BLE-only sensor with no GPS, no cellular, and no athlete-facing communication, but competition use still requires sport, school, event, and official approval.

VPA rule alignment

Vermont Principals' Association follows the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) rule baseline for each sport, but each sport and event still needs its own review. HyperPulse keeps the hardware posture conservative: under-uniform placement, no GPS, no cellular, and no two-way athlete communication.

That does not mean automatic approval. It means coaches, parents, and administrators have a cleaner rule-review package to present before an athlete wears any device in competition.

Vermont's top sports - all supported

Vermont high school athletics are anchored in hockey, basketball, lacrosse. Major metro programs in Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland have full HyperPulse compatibility. The metric stack is tuned per sport:

Football - max sprint speed, contact/load context, explosive step index, movement-load context, workload trend. Worn under shoulder pads, never in the helmet.
Basketball - vertical, hang time, court coverage, sprint count, landing impact. Worn on upper back under jersey.
Soccer - pacing context, high-intensity runs, work-rate index, work-rest rhythm. Approval still depends on the event and officials.
Baseball / Softball - sprint count, peak burst, throwing-load context, recovery trend. Competition use still needs review.

VT Compliance Card

Every HyperPulse unit is planned to include a printable VPA-formatted rule-review card citing the relevant sport-specific questions. Hand it to the head official before warmups. Pre-launch field feedback is still a validation milestone, not a guarantee of approval.
