But if you are talking about a personal foul (unsportsmanlike conduct), then its usually a judgement call. At least in high school in college anyway. The pros have more stringent guidelines (at least for my 'boys) but I won't get into that here. They usually let them get away with high fives or a hip jump, etc.

Are you asking about the "excessive celebration" penalty? That rule states that a player can not "draw attention to himself". That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
Guest octfeb Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Hmmm.. I thought there was a rule for celebrating a TD by the ball carrier in high school. Thank you. ;)

I can tell you on my crew we let the kids have fun, a little, but never taunt. Some other crews are less tolerant, others are probably more so.

Hi fives, chest bumps etc. are ok. Do it and get off the field. Nothing wrong with kids being happy. Don't belittle/taunt/show up an opponent though. That pulls yellow immediately.

the_dude_abides Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 There should be an exception to this rule whenever a lineman scores a touchdown. If a big boy gets in the endzone he should be allowed to break dance, moonwalk, stick the ball beneath his jersey and pretend he is giving birth, whatever his heart desires.No issue with flagging qb's, rb's, or wr...just let the big man celebrate because he may not get another chance.
