Just checking...
There is no rule in NFHS that a free kick must travel 10 yards, right? I ask only because (a) several coaches have looked for a flag for this from me in the past two weeks, and (b) an R in a recent game that I was HL for dropped a flag for this. I looked at him askance and asked "What was the flag for?" and he said "The kick didn't go 10 yards." (It was a weak onside attempt that was left untouched in the middle of the field.) The receiving team declined the "penalty" and took over at that spot, so I let it pass and forgot to ask him about it later.

No foul. Restrictions as to who gets the ball and/or who can touch it ... but no foul for simply not kicking it far enough.

REPLY: A free kick that's touched by K before going ten yards is nothing more than 'first touching.' Same as when a kicker is first to touch a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone. No foul.

NF "first touching" is not a foul, it's commonly called a violation. Its a bag spot not a flag spot.
Baring any fouls, this spot is where team-R could take over to start their series. It is surprising a coach would think this is a foul and even more surprised that an official does think this is a foul. Last edited by Theisey; Tue Sep 26, 2006 at 09:00pm.
