Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 12/13/2015

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, Virginia United States asks...

To call or not to call...

Play down the sideline - looks to me like the first push on #2 blue should be a foul but he fights through it and pokes the ball ahead as a second player cuts in front of him. The second play looks okay. AR was ri...

League Specific 12/13/2015

Mac Bleakley of Leesburg, Fl US asks...

This past week, I had a girls HS match. Several knee braces, unaltered from the manufacturer. Three girls went down after a ball, two came up. The girl on the ground had bashed her head on a modern knee brace, the kind with a hard circular piece on e...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 12/10/2015

George of Parangarecutirimicuaro, CA Sacratomato asks...
