Why is hurdling a personal foul?
I cannot sleep so I decide to watch the Kapolei vs Punahou game. The Punahou kid hurdles over the Kapolei kid and the ref throws a flag for personal foul? Why is hurdling a personal foul? Is it for safety reason because if it is then that's pretty weak.

Hurd;ing has been against the rules since at least the 1960's. It is a high risk play for both players involved.

I always thought it was interesting that Hawaii High Schools has so much personal foul rules such as hurdling for example, but the mainland high schools doesn't call that a penalty.

Hurdling is a penalty in California (CIF).
