Offensive Kicking?

Not I.

This winter, I had a MS Boys game where Team A secured a rebound and then lost player control of the ball. A1 and B1 then go for the loose ball and I'm looking to see if we have a held ball or a foul. As the ball rolls towards A1's legs, A1 kicks it soccer-style away from B1.

A kicked ball on A1 here was an easy call to make.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Good example involving a loose ball (always listen to bob). We certainly can call kicking violations on offensive players.
