Safety

I was a former kicker in high school and college and it had always been explained to me that safety was the primary reason for this rule. In addition, back (oh so many years ago) there were not too...

I think he was in the...

Wow

At times we all react to calls. As a coach/player/fan and official we all have different angles on the same play. We can't possibly see the things the otherone does. We can react. Disappointment,...

Exactly! He was kicking the ball, therefore, he was a kicker. Just like I explained. I understand what you are saying. The contact was made in front of the tee and was close but after the kick.

Thanks for the responses.

Follow Up Question to those proposed

I am only a coach so I may be off base here, but don't the answers to the block kicked portions of these questions depend on where the kick was blocked at? For example, if the kick was blocked...

Always learning

As she took her steps, she was definitely outside of a 3 foot area. If this is what the official was refering to, would this have been a traveling call?

A tip of the cap

Last year at this time, I had asked the forum if I had deserved some technicals. I received a lot of advice. Some more stern than I would have wanted.

Bawling like a Baby?

As I read this post, this is the phrase that stuck with me. Don't know why, but it did. The kids are 9 or 10 and when they fall some will cry. Sometimes the crying doesn't match the nature of the...

Realistically, I have seen a...

Additional Thought

Was this the same player that would hold the ball in that position? Sometimes, it may just be poor technique on the part of the player. Besides that, not much can be done.
