Are these still illegal in HS? They were when I played. And it's a front-flip by the way.

Ooops on the back/front thing. Not sure if it is legal or not in HS. I saw a woman do it in the NCAA finals just a day or so ago though.

I've seen it done in pro leagues as well. It was only illegal in HS from what I can remember. Some ref told me it was considered showing off, therefore unsportsmanlike conduct.

Wish one of the refs who reads this site would weigh in...
