Yep. The ball coming into contact with a player's foot is not a violation. A player kicking the ball is a violation.

Saw offensive kick called today in the girls 8th region final today. It is about the 4th time i have seen it called this year. It drives me nuts. Girl throws a pass and it hits the defender, bounces back at the girl who threw the pass she steps towards the ball, it hits her feet and the ref calls a kick. I just don't get it.
