In order to travel you have to have possession of the ball correct?

Play #3 I would have called a travel at midseason in the 9-10 year old league.

OK. And with kids that are very clumsy at that age I am sure you call a lot of them.

No one is disputing your ability to see something, but that does not make it true every play you think is a travel is a travel in everyone else's eyes. I know not everyone here is going to agree with me on this issue. I have seen enough of these videos over the past year or so and seen the comments people make in relationship to travels. I just ask for it to be clear for rules based reasons, not because it looked a certain way. And I am certainly not going to go around thinking that my opinion is the only one that matters. You have said time and time again that you think these are passed on on purpose while sitting on your couch. I just find that ironic that is all.
