LYNDA’S “12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS” TOP TIPS #9

Can GK use the Goal Post for support when marking a shot?

Absolutely not.  The infringement is contact on the post and depending on the situation will depend on the sanction.

As a general rule:

  • If 1 person is involved (i.e. contact on post when retrieving a rebound) = free pass.
  • If  2 people are involved (i.e. contact on post while defending ball or player) = penalty
