Actively Guarding
Snaqwells,
Actively guarding means that the defensive player can not just be standing there within six feet. I know that in FED the only requirements are that the defender must be facing the player and within 6 ft. However, GHSA has its own mechanic. The defender must be playing defense. Just standing there looking at the player with the ball is not actively guarding, per GHSA. Some examples of actively guarding might be:
1. Extending a hand toward the player with the ball
2. Extending both hands out from the body to prevent a pass
3. Being right up on the player without contact of course
