Children

3.J.1

Catching a pass is equivalent to establishing possession of that pass.

3.J.2

Loss of possession due to ground contact related to a catch negates that player's possession up to that point.

If the disc touches the ground while in a player's possession and the player subsequently loses possession due to ground contact, the earlier possession is negated and the previous contact of the disc with the ground results in a turnover.

3.J.3

A disc in a player's possession is considered part of that player.

Thus, hitting the disc in a player's possession is a foul

3.J.4

The team whose player is in possession, or whose players may pick up the disc, is considered the team in possession. If the disc is in the air following a legal pass, the thrower's team is considered the team in possession.
