Any help is appreciated.
BTW, this is middle school ball using NFHS rules.

Last year, in FED, ANY turn of the shoulders was (by rule) a balk.
FED decided to ease the restrictions. So, now, from the "pre-set" position, ANY turn of the shoulders is allowed. Once the hands are joined, ANY turn is a balk.
(Also, ANY turn from the wind-up is a balk.
