Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 1832733, member: 1646"] USSF says you can't head until U12. It started last year in our league and was a problem for our boys (then U10) because they had become decent at heading. This year there have been less indirect kicks awarded. Our refs have gotten used to the rules also. Last year we saw fouls called when kids got hit in the head with the ball. Our U10 girls (now U11) didn't want anything to do with heading any ball with pace so it didn't effect them as much. I'm looking forward to the rule change allowing a pass back on the restart. It makes sense. I'm not sure how I feel about the throw in changes. its not a foul throw if the ball comes out of a throw-in spinning. Do you ref Northern Counties? If so, I'll definitely have to make sure we never meet! [/QUOTE]
