High School Football Questions
Is there a limit on the number of times a team can decline the illegal procedure penalty one the kickoff when the kicking team is intentionally kicking out of bounds? If a turnover occurs on a two point conversion can the defensive team return the ball for two points? |

No - when B gains possession the ball is dead. |

1) 5 yard penalty, rekick. 2) put the ball in play 25 yards beyond the previous spot. (normally R's 35 yard line). 3) put the ball in play at the out-of-bounds spot. (declining the penalty) So you can decline the penalty every time K kicks out of bounds, but you're only going to get the chance to do that once per kick. Quote:

9-9 permits officials to invoke the "unfair acts" provision if they judge that a team is making a travesty of the game. |

Unfair Act??? Surely you can't be serious
If an official were to involk the Unfair Act for a repeated Free Kick out of bounds, such official should drive home, write a thank you letter to your commisioner, and retire.

I could see how he might think it's unfair to him! :) |

ART. 2 . . . No team shall repeatedly commit fouls which halve the distance to
the goal line By this rule it would be after 8 kicks OOB. |

js: you hear all sorts of stuff from all sorts of people in this 'business.' Last week I had a freshman coach inform me that there was no longer a difference in facemasking penalties between 5 or 15 yards. All were now 15. Another official had told him so. Hmmm, ok.

Thanks, the issue was another coach I know was kicking the ball out of bounds at the end of the half to keep the other team from returning the kick for a TD. He thought there was a limit on the number of times you could make the kicking team rekick. The officials that night said no and he had to kick in bounds and the return team scored a TD. I asked an official at my game the following week as did he and we got two different answers.

I personally don't like the rule against K kicking the ball out of bounds. If you have a kid that can kick the ball OOB inside the 5 yl, he should not be penalized for R not being able to field it first.
