This doesn't happen too often.

Jump ball to start game. A2 and B2 grab ball simultaneously. Now they jump.

The umpire who called it, came in pointing at the two girls involved telling them they had to jump now.

Big eyes and "Us?!!!" Not being the tallest on the team, this is something they've probably never been asked to do.

Took me back to the days when it was always a jump (before the alternating possession arrow). Yes I played that way.

Be nice. It's my birthday (Valentine's Day).

I have had this scenario two times this year already.... Both times the new jumpers did look like "deer in the headlights."

I had one last night in a Mens City League game.A1 and B1 were in the center circle getting ready to jump it up to start the game,A1 you could say had a little more in the mid-section then B1 if you know what I mean.

Anyway A1 is standing back a little bit and you can see he is gearing up to give all he has,so I throw up the ball and all of a sudden B1 is flying 5 or 6 six feet backwards the big old belly caught me and B1 off gaurd I still had my whistle hanging from my shirt! Anyway luckily B1 just looked at me and started laughing so I just popped my whistle in my mouth and kept on playing.

Rare play is right! Kudos for the U to come in and clearly identify that "those" two players had to jump for the ball next. Happy Birthday!
