Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

I wish I had a video of this play, that turned up last week. I'll describe it as best I can.

Women's rec, 7-a-side game. Throw-in comes toward an attacker, who is 'gently' backing into a defender. Defender puts her (bent elbow) forearms agai...

Kicks From The Penalty mark 6/1/2018

Pat Dempsey of Clonsilla, DUBLIN 15 Ireland asks...

Other 6/1/2018

Law 8 - The Start and Restart of Play 5/29/2018

Raymond of SAN FRANCISCO, CA United States asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/28/2018

Tony Gaw of Whitehorse, Yukon Canada asks...
