Quite honestly, you WON'T find them. Let's get that out of the way first. You can ask Q&A--as some teams already have--and find that they will not rule--see the first line of my previous post. Again, you won't find those clarifications.


That said: for pushing the ball into your partner, I would probably call possession (herding). Probably. I can't say definitely.

For the trapping, it's a LOT harder, and that would be highly situationally dependent, so I'm not even going to touch that.
