She "kicked" it, and then I kicked it

I don't see an intentional kick here.
Also, sounds a lot like a jr.high game, yes?

She intentionally squeezed her shins together to catch the ball.
Freshman girls. Close enough.

Catching the ball and intentionally striking the ball are the same?
I remain unsure.
Cases show intentionally deflecting and kicking with foot, but not catching.
Sell me.

If a player intentionally strikes the ball with ANY part of the leg or foot it is a violation. Seems to me that the girl intentionally moved her legs to stop the ball, hence the violation.

A violation occurs anytime a player, with their legs, places a "vice-like grip" on the ball.

There's a specific NCAA AR that applies. Most (?) have the interp apply to FED as well, although I don't recall any specific play.

Bob,
Is that the one about trapping the ball on the floor?

I believe the AR has to do with a player trapping the ball between their legs, and the opponent grabbing the ball as well. This is not a held ball situation, but a violation on the player holding it with their legs.

The rule says "intentionally strike the ball." Most interpret "strike" to include any movement of the leg with the intent of touching the ball. Now, in my situation, before the ball was trapped, it actually bounced of one leg.
