Throw In

[pac]

Referee told my son there was a change in law 15 a few years ago. The throw in only has to start behind the head, when it comes forward it can go to the side of the head by the ear. Can someone direct me to the year that change was made I can’t seem to find it.

I haven't heard of this "new" rule at all. That's just like the entire association in south Texas who was allowing an entire foot over the line when throwing the ball in.

No - from behind and over the head. Law 15 (club) and Rule 15 (school)

It was an out of state tournament. I emailed the director last night and asked him to pass my message on to the assignor. I was polite, but I don’t anticipate a response back. I think I have done my part.

Thank you for your service

The director did email me back. Long story short, it seems there is a big shortage of quality refs in our area right now due to Covid and other factors.
