Title: Kicker being blocked
Post by: Wettstein on September 24, 2012, 07:23:11 PM

I am looking for the High School rule where it states that a kicker on a kick off can't be blocked before xx amount of yards.

Can anyone help me find that ruling and the amount of yards?  thanks.

before:
a. He has advanced 5 yards beyond his free-kick line; or
b. The kick has touched the ground or any other player.
