Just checking...

There is no rule in NFHS that a free kick must travel 10 yards, right? I ask only because (a) several coaches have looked for a flag for this from me in the past two weeks, and (b) an R in a recent game that I was HL for dropped a flag for this. I looked at him askance and asked "What was the flag for?" and he said "The kick didn't go 10 yards." (It was a weak onside attempt that was left untouched in the middle of the field.) The receiving team declined the "penalty" and took over at that spot, so I let it pass and forgot to ask him about it later.
