Tripping

I started refereeing for a kids Church league last year and found I really enjoyed it. I am attending training over the next few weeks through a local recreation department and hope to expand to doing other youth recreational leagues and maybe some middle school and eventually JV. While I certainly don't have hear the experience of most of the people on this forum I believe that if I am going to take on the role of officiating, even as a volunteer, I should do the best as job I chance. I have been reading this forum and looking for additional information to improve my skills.

I came across this video on YouTube:



I understand that under 10-6-1 tripping would be a foul, but there seems to be no definition or signal for a tripping foul. The signal given in the video appears to be signal for kicking (although you can't fully see the mechanic the way the video is framed.

My questions is what should a trip be called as a foul and what is the proper signal?

Thanks
