Yup... hit the ball.
Ad nauseam.sounds like this has been covered prior.
Tell the ump is the obvious answer..but you knew that. Other than that just hit. Not sure what else you want everybody to say?Are you guys in the box?!
A crow hop typically the back foot lands and pushes again before the front foot lands. On a leap it’s either front foot first or simultaneous .We play per NFHS. Rule book is on-line but costs $. I’m surprised there would be a distinction between a crow hop (with a second push) vs “just” a leap. If you’re leaping, your back foot has to come down and push off again. You can’t release the ball with feet in the air. Is the second push a lot? A little? Does it matter? If not already, the rule should be you have to maintain contact with the ground, then there would be no ambiguity and no significant unfair advantage.

Thanks for the actual language! So they are both illegal, clearly. But apparently not called regularly. If we face her in the tourney I’ll send the videos to our coach and have her decide how to proceed. Thanks so much!
Wow. Funny how message boards are so mean. Always. Bizarre world we live in really.
