Question Check UP on it

"Hurdling or going over the defensive player that has the ball and is waiting to make a tag is a legal maneuver. Rule 7.08(a)(3) does not prevent hurdling nor makes it illegal."

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).

INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:

Hurdling or going over the defensive player that has the ball and is waiting to make a tag is a legal maneuver. Rule
7.08(a) (3) does not prevent or make illegal hurdling.
Rule 7.08(a-3) is easily the most misunderstood rule in the book. It is easily broken down as follows:
(1) The fielder must have the ball in his/her possession; AND

(2) The fielder must be WAITING to make the tag;

If BOTH of those two criteria are satisfied, then the runner must EITHER:

(1) Slide; OR

(2) ATTEMPT to get around the fielder.


Notice that the rule says, “attempt to get around”, not “avoid”. Contact may occur with no penalty assessed.
There is no “Must Slide” rule and no league may create one. No league may modify Rule 7.08(a-3).
