(Example: Non-flipping kick doubles and full-twisting layout baskets are not allowed during a football game during regular play or timeouts. They may be done during a pre-game or half-time situation, but only on a matted surface at least 10’ x 10’. In essence, these types of skills are reserved for competition or performances.)
