Hypothetical situation.
The ball is rolling toward the goalie. The goalie runs up to grab it. At the same time, the striker is running forward to shoot the ball. They reach the ball at the same time and the goalie reaches down to grab it as the forward get's their foot to the ball. How aggressively can the forward try to rake it out of the goalie's hands? What are the finer points on what's allowable? Is it considered bad form to even attempt to rake it sideways as long as it's not an aggressive rake? We are talking youth soccer here, but I'm just wondering what's acceptable and what is not.
