Hi all,
I was hoping for some guidance about when and how to penalise players ripping the ball and not passing at U11s.
[LAWS]
6 (b) Where the ball has been ripped from the ball carrier, whether by the attacker or defender, the ball must be passed immediately away from the contact area.
[/LAWS]
I presume the sanction is a free kick (as for the many offences without stated sanction)?
Did people last year draw a distinction between "handing" the ball to a teammate and "ripping" or does there always have to be a pass?
Should the player who ripped the ball be allowed to kick?
On a related note rule 10 (b) draws a careful distinction between (i) ball kicked into in-goal by the attacking team and made dead by a defender and (ii) kicked, carried or sent into in-goal by the attacking team and crosses touch-in-goal/dead ball line. I'm inclined not to take the combination of these two literally if a defender rips the ball from an attacker while in-goal and grounds it for a "22", unless there is common practice it should be a free kick?
Thanks.
