Hmmm, Steal cleats to the FACE. I don't think this is allowed. I do remember reading on this website that hurdling is only allowed if the defensive person was flat on the ground. Perhaps someone can clarify it for me.
The thing you remember is a FED rule.

Hurdling is legal in NCAA and OBR-based rules.

LL doesn't allow steel spikes at majors (12U) and below.

FED banned steel spikes for awhile but re-instated them when the found they were getting more injuries with other types (they slip and slide more).
