OLDSKOOLPLAYMAKR Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 the coach says that it is one arm(either)waived one time from top to bottom across the body. I say no way; anyone???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Rule 2-9-3 A valid fair-catch signal is the extending and lateral waving of 1 arm, at full length above the head, by any member of the recieving team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey-Ref Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Bullwinkle is correct in describing the signal, but let me add... A valid fair-catch signal must be given while the kick is in flight (before it is grounded or touched by R). Invalid fair catch signal is a 5 yard penalty.
