Technically, the spot of where the ball was recoveredCorrect
After our girls basketball scrimmage yesterday, one of the officials brought the players from the three teams together and spoke to them for about 5 minutes about considering becoming officials as well as a few points of emphasis. I had never seen that before.My question is what can schools do from their end to help recruit refs and make it more attractive?
Not just an onside kick: the kicking team cannot advance any kick, including punts.Referees wave off the TD and place the ball at the spot of the muff. The refs inform the coach that you cannot advance an onside kick.
No.Is there a limit to the number of out-of-bound penalties on an attempted kickoff?
Do you mean in a single game, or back-to-back KO attempts? I'm guessing the latter (and it sounds as if there might be a story behind the question?).Is there a limit to the number of out-of-bound penalties on an attempted kickoff?
A simple (to R's coach) "hey coach, you the ball is yours 5 yards ahead of where it went out of bounds" should stop this silliness after the 2nd or 3rd time.....Do you mean in a single game, or back-to-back KO attempts? I'm guessing the latter (and it sounds as if there might be a story behind the question?).
By rule, no, no limit, as chs says. But if a team intentionally does it over and over—and I mean at least 3 or 4 times in a row for a varsity kicker—the referee is authorized to treat it as an "unfair act" (Rule 9-9-1) and impose whatever penalty he deems fair in order to get the game going again.
If that's what happened, then the officials erred in what they did. The options are either offered as prescribed by rule or the Referee invokes the "God Rule" and makes the ruling himself.The reason the question was asked was I and another poster on here once saw a game in which after the 3rd consecutive kick off out of bounds, they gave the coach two options only, to take the ball so many yards from the spot of the kickoff or where it went out of bounds, and did not give the option to rekick from 5 yards further back.
I'm not doing that. Every kick OOB is to R's advantage and no time should be coming off the clock.Do you mean in a single game, or back-to-back KO attempts? I'm guessing the latter (and it sounds as if there might be a story behind the question?).

R has 4 choices on a free kick that goes out of bounds untouched between the goals lines.... (options b,c, or d apply to your question)WHERE IS THE BALL PLACED WHEN A KICKOFF GOES OUT OF BOUNDS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE RECEIVING TEAM'S 34-1 YARD LINES AND THE BALL IS UNTOUCHED AND THE RECEIVING
TEAM DOESN'T WANT THE BALL REKICKED?
Is there really any reason that option D should be chosen?R has 4 choices on a free kick that goes out of bounds untouched between the goals lines.... (options b,c, or d apply to your question)
a. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and have K rekick;
b. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the succeeding spot;
c. Put the ball in play at the inbounds spot 25 yards beyond the previous spot; or
d. Decline the penalty and put the ball in play at the inbounds spot.
That's always up to the coach. The option to decline the penalty is listed so it stays consistent with the football rules fundamental that the distance penalty for any foul may be declined.Is there really any reason that option D should be chosen?
YesKickoff to R's 10 yard line. R1 has one knee on the ground when he makes first contact with the ball (no possession), picks knee up, picks up ball and advances to R's 15 yard line. Ball is spotted at R's 15. Correct spot?
No HS rule on this. The ball can be advanced by any player. Actually happened in our game last night and gave the team a first down.Question, so does high school football have the same rule that on 4th down, the only player that can advance a fumble is the one who fumbled? Saw a play last night, final minute where the QB fumbled, and a lineman picked up the ball and ran forward, didn't get the first down so there didn't need to be a ruling on it. Just made me think if he'd had got a first down or TD.
Thanks.No HS rule on this. The ball can be advanced by any player. Actually happened in our game last night and gave the team a first down.
That was the correct call. Defensive penalties on scoring plays may be assessed on the succeeding kickoff.Question, in the game I was at last night. Pandora Gilboa scored a touchdown on a play where defensive pass interference was called. They were given the touchdown AND the penalty was assessed on the kickoff? This is wrong, isn't it? If they accepted the penalty, they lose the TD and get 15 yards, if they decline the penatly, they get the score. But you don't get both, do you?
Yep, or the try.That was the correct call. Defensive penalties on scoring plays may be assessed on the succeeding kickoff.
13Yep, or the try.
This HS rule was changed a number of years ago—maybe 8?
By rule, unless contact is unavoidable because it is not reasonably certain that a kick will be made, it is roughing the kicker.This was a college game today but I feel like with the playoffs happening it’s be a good idea to get the exact ruling. K in punt formation, high snap goes over K1s head by 20 yards, K1 picks up the ball and kicks it just before R1 hits him. Official calls roughing the passer and automatic first down. Correct call but opposing fans obviously went crazy.
Greater than the 35 yd line assuming kicked for 40?Is there really any reason that option D should be chosen?
