Gator Ball rule?

PrintMaybe some of you have heard of Gator Ball. It is basically soccer, but if you can kick the ball in the air, then someone may touch it with their hands. I have Googled it up and it is played around the nation, mostly at high schools. But if you have heard of it, I have a question.
See, the Gator Ball championship was recently played at my school, and the score was tied 2-2 going into the fourth sudden death overtime. The ball was run downfield, and the player jumped and bounced the ball into the goal, which I thought was legal. Not so fast. Apparently, if you jump, it is an automatic turnover. The opposing team promptly scored to end the game. If it matters, we were using flags.
I may be completely dumb to post this, as the game may not be played nation-wide as I thought, but does anyone know the official ruling? Or as official as it can get? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with this, probably because of the regional name
but in doing a little research, I don’t see anything about “no jumping”
Check this and see if this is what you’re looking for:

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Pretty similiar.
Except there in nets instead of an endzone, and no dribbling… thanks though. This is school pride, people.
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
