2021-2022 Sectional Rule for 12U
Heading and Punting the Ball= According to AYSO rules, there is no heading of a ball for 12U and below. However, the goalkeepers will be able to punt and drop kick the ball this year as a proper way to distribute the ball out of the back. Be sure to cover this with both teams during your pre-game talk with each team. Also, be vocal on the field if you see a player trying to play the ball with their head. Lastly, be aware that heading the ball is different than the ball hitting the head. If a player is hit in the head by a ball and they made no conscious attempt to play it, there is no infraction and play continues. Assess the player for possible head injury though as play continues. These are new rules for many, so we need to help them remember them throughout the game.
