Question Number: 25621Mechanics 10/17/2011RE: Under 15 new user of SF, CA US asks...This question is a follow up to question 25361 For pointing the flag I have been taught that if the blue team kicked it out point the flag towards the blue team's goal, becasue that is the direction the red team will be heading. vise versa, if red team kicked the ball out at the touchline point the flag towards the red team. Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi
That's correct. Some AR have a blank early in the game or after half time about flag direction. Concentration is the key
