Shaft to the neck

/ Cross Checks, Gray areas, Hits to the head, Holding, No Call, No call
Correct Call: In high school and youth the shaft of the Defenders cross shouldn’t be resting on the Attack’s neck. If it is there momentarily then we have nothing. If there is a punching motion and this directly contacts at the head/neck than this is a minimum of a 2 minute non-releasable foul. If there is no punch/thrust than most likely we have a 30 second hold.

For this not to be a penalty: No thrust, puncher hold and the stick is there there momentarily.
Game Level:This should be called at every level.
