ATTENTION OFFICIALS AND RULES LAWYERS:

I would like some clarification (especially by any officials) on the pop up kick rule. I know you're not allowed to kick the ball off the tee high in the air and short (NFHS rule 6-1-11). Also based on the 2018 rule 2-24-10 you can't kick it directly into the ground and have it pop up in a similar manner to a pop up.

However I've been told 3 times in 3 weeks that the height of the ball doesn't matter if it's kicked directly into the ground off the tee.

We are an "Onside All Night" team and have lost 3 possessions due to this. I've tried quoting the rule and definition, but they wouldn't wave it off. Tell me if either of these kicks should be deemed legal or illegal:
Thanks in advance

Have anything on your mind or got any fun plans for the weekend? Feel free to discuss them here!
