Re: Canadian Question
Working as U for 5-man games I usually instruct the ball boys to run the ball into me or the Referee. I also tell them that I can't catch so DON'T THROW IT! That seems to help prevent the bad toss (or catch attempt) that leads to the ball rolling around the field. [/B][/QUOTE]
Which was another instance that I saw in the Grey Cup. The R (Black hat .-) ) was signalling a foul (on Toronto) and the ball comes flying in at him. He did a good job of not getting distracted by it, but it didn't miss his head by much.
I guess that since we usually have young kids that don't really know the game with the ball it is safer to keep them off the field at all times... Just the way we do it, and on cold days it keeps the deep officals warm by keeping them moving!
