Penalty Enforcement

Stalling RULE 6-10 Read Situations (examples) on page 68 to

better understand stalling. We do not call stalling on 3/4, 5/6 age level

games.

What Influences Stalling?

“the defensive team must attempt to play the ball within the goal area”

Does “attacking goal” mean shooting?

How long do you wait?

Deliberate stalling? Last 2 minutes? Penalty “killing”

Get it in/Keep it in

Get it in/Keep it in  4-34In certain situations, a “get it in/keep it in” command will be administered by game officials.  “Get It In.” This warning is used when the ball is outside the goal area. An official signals and verbally announces “get it in.” The team in possession must advance the ball into the goal area within 10 seconds and keep it in the goal area. “Keep It In.” This warning is used when the ball is inside the goal area. An official signals and verbally announces “keep it in.” The team in possession must keep the ball in the goal area. “Get It In/Keep It In” situations are: 

• Under two minutes remaining in the game when the game is not tied (See Rule 3-3); 

• Stalling (See Rule 6-10).
