I officiated city leagues and HS for about 11 years in the 70s and 80s. Out of the game for a while, now getting back in by coaching my step-daughter's 10-12 girl's team. Some of the better players in our league have a tendency to carry the ball and it is never called. I don't have a current rule book, so does anyone have an idea how I can explain to our volunteer refs exactly what constitutes carrying the ball? Is it still called under the traveling violation? My daughter does it occasionally and I'm trying to convince the refs that they're not teaching these girls anything by letting them get away with it.
Thanks!
