Law 1- The Field 4/3/2006

RE: Competive Under 15

Taylor of Oakdale, CA U.S asks...

If the ball was clearly going out but it hit the corner flag and bounced back in would you say it never went out? i was told the corner flag was part of the field. But I'd like to know for sure.

You were told correctly. The corner flag is part of the field and if the ball rebounds off the flag it is still in play.
