grunewar I coached my son for many yrs and was pressed into service as an official and linesman on many occasions. I keep up with the World Cup and all, but am not a certified official...and never will be.
SethPDX I'm a soccer fan, and as a baseball/softball umpire I'm interested in officiating in general.

Eastshire hoopsaddict wroteAnother official! YES!!! I had a game tonight in the middle, NFHS but same prinicples apply. Offensive player is attacking down the wing just outside the 18 near the corner flag. He beats his defender and gets helded up by the defending player with his arm over his shoulder. I apply an advantage as the attacking player continues intot he pentalty area and then gets fouled again. Whats your call? Do you come up with a PK or are you going back to the first foul? PK. If a second foul occurs while you're playing advantage, you award the offense the free kick that you feel is most advantageous or play advantage again if appropriate.
