Well yesterday in a different game from the previous post, I french Canadian whistled several handling infractions when kids were drilled in the arms by passes or clearing kicks. The one I really questioned was a direct kick restart where the team quickly restarted and drilled a pass right at the nearest defender's fave. The ball hits it. Handling is called. Advantage is not the same as play on.
Advantage IS the same as play on.
That was what I was thinking too. It may not seem fair but it is absolutely the correct call. I called handling once on a woman player once for crossing her arms across her chest to trap the ball. I expalined that we are allowed to overlook it for U10 girls on rec teams but need to enforce it in the older age groups.
