a. A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who runs or jumps into
or charges an opponent.
b. When a major penalty is imposed under this rule for a foul resulting in injury to
the face or head of an opponent, an automatic fine of one hundred dollars
($100) shall be imposed.
c. A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who charges a
goalkeeper while the goalkeeper is within his goal crease.
(NOTE)
If more than two steps or strides are taken, it shall be considered a charge.
A goalkeeper is NOT "fair game" just because he is outside the goal
crease area. A penalty for interference or charging (minor or major) should
be called in every case where an opposing player makes unnecessary
contact with a goalkeeper.
Likewise, Referees should be alert to penalize goalkeepers for tripping,
slashing or spearing in the vicinity of the goal.
