RE: Rec, select Under 17

Gary Morgan of Culpeper, VA USA asks...

Hello,
Are there any new (this year) changes, advisories, emphasis items, circulars, etc., dealing with a keeper handling the ball after a deliberate kick from a teammate? Either USSF or High School?

Thank you for all you do!

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

I haven't heard of any new emphasis from FIFA or USSF; I can't speak for high school (NFHS). There has been no change in Law or interpretation lately. A couple of years ago Advice to Referees added a note to remind referees that the offense was put into the Laws to cope with timewasting.
