Question Number: 20677

Law 6 - Assistant Referee 12/18/2008

RE: USSF 08 Adult

David Ogrin of New Braunfels, Texas USA asks...

This question is a follow up to question 20672

Thank you all. At the last two tournaments here in South Texas a number of us were kicking this around deciding on the best mechanics.

Bottom line then is stay with the second to last defender or the ball whichever is closer to the goal line, hauling buns to that corner flag, and if you have to come back upfield to make a call, so be it.

I think I am going to include this in my pregame.

Here's to getting it correct and Merry Christmas.

David
