Is HyperPulse™ legal in New Jersey?
New Jersey high school sports operate under New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), 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.

NJSIAA rule alignment
New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic 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.
New Jersey's top sports — all supported
New Jersey high school athletics are anchored in lacrosse, soccer, football, basketball. Major metro programs in Newark, Jersey City, Paterson 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 — distance estimate, high-intensity runs, work-rate index, sprint-to-walk ratio. Approval still depends on the event and officials.
- Baseball / Softball — sprint count, max speed, throwing-load context, recovery trend. Competition use still needs review.
- Wrestling — practice-first recovery trend, explosive bursts, grappling load. Any competition use needs explicit approval.

NJ Compliance Card
Every HyperPulse unit is planned to include a printable NJSIAA-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.
