Starting in 2027, the National Federation of State High School Associations will require a double first base in high school games to minimize the risk of collisions. The rule change was one of 10 accepted by the NFHS Board of Directors in June. Advertisement As seen on many softball fields — but not required by the NFHS for that sport — the double bases will feature a white side in fair territory and a colored half in foul territory. 'It will immediately address running lane violations, and it will further protect the players from the violent collisions that have occurred at first base,' said Elliot Hopkins , NFHS director of sports and liaison to the Baseball Rules Committee.
