In U19 and younger I have never allowed players of the team taking a PK to be in motion before the kick is taken.
Clearly if a group all charge together then the law against cavalry charges applies
If one solitary player comes at pace onto the ball which is then played to him it can hardly be called a cavalry charge?!
Having checked the law book I am now not sure as to the extent to which this interpretation now applies.
Does it have to be several players or just one?
Do they have to be close to the opponents line?
Any thoughts?
