I thought i would post here to help the parents that are not familiar with football to help you understand the the Refs are calling.
What Exactly Do These Hand Signals Mean?
It’s one thing to know the call and another to understand the penalty being called. Here are a few explanations for the most common penalties that occur during a game:

Holding – This penalty applies to all players on the field and is quite common. An offensive player, typically a lineman, can’t grab or tackle (twist/hook or pull to the ground) a defensive player while trying to block him. The same basically goes for the defense unless their target is the ball carrier.
False Start – Often an attempt to draw the defense offsides, this is when an offensive player on the line makes an abrupt move before the snap, or when an offensive player in the backfield moves forward before the snap.
Pass Interference – This is when a player makes contact that interferes or prevents the opponent’s opportunity to make a catch. According to the NFL rulebook, pass interference includes holding, pulling, tripping, putting hands in the face, or making contact while cutting in front of an eligible receiver.
Delay of Game – After a play ends, the offense has 40 seconds to begin the next play unless they call a time out. If the clock reaches zero before the center snaps the ball to the quarterback, the official will throw a yellow flag and penalize the offense for the delay by pushing them back five yards on the field.
Defensive Offside – Extending the entire width of the field and the length of the football (nose to nose) as it sits at the line of scrimmage, the neutral zone keeps the offense and defense properly separated prior to the snap. Officials call offsides when a defensive player is caught lined up in the neutral zone as the ball is being snapped.
Now that you know where hand signals came from, how to spot them and what they mean, it’s time to watch your favorite team and really know what’s going on. Go Pirates!
