14 History of the Game Soccer is known as Football outside the USA Earliest organized game was called Calcio, played by the Romans. It was very brutal. But a heck of a lot of fun!!

15 History of the Game The modern game dates from 1863 when the Laws of the Game were established at a London pub Two factions split from one another. One was Rugby. The other was Football (soccer)

16 History of the Game FIFA (Federation International de Football Association) governs the worldwide game USSF (United States Soccer Federation) is the national governing body AYSO is a National Association member of USSF

17 History of the Game The Laws of the Game can be summarized in three simple words: Fun Fair Safe

18 Philosophy of Refereeing The Laws of the Game are intended to provide that games should be played with as little interference as possible, and in this view it is the duty of the referee to penalize only deliberate breaches of the Law. Constant whistling for trifling and doubtful breaches produces bad feelings and loss of temper on the part of the players and spoils the pleasure of spectators.

19 Philosophy of Refereeing In the younger players games, the referee is more of a friendly guide than policeman. Young players that commit technical errors (like taking a restart improperly) generally should be given a second chance. Young players should never be subjected to public humiliation.

49 Checking for Learning During the safety inspection of the players, the referee notices that a player is wearing earrings. She explains that she had her ears pierced the previous day and if she removes the earrings the holes will close. What should the referee do? The referee should explain to the player that earrings are not permitted; if she wishes to play, she must remove them. The referee may choose to involve the coach.

50 Checking for Learning In a U-8 game, the ball offered by the home team is a size 4 but otherwise acceptable. What should the referee do? Point out to the team that provided the ball that it is the wrong size and ask for a size 3 ball. If the team cannot provide one, ask the other team for one. If no size 3 ball is available, play the match with a size 4 ball.

51 Checking for Learning During the field inspection, the referee notices that a goal is being held in place by two bricks placed on the back of the structure. What should the referee do? Bricks resting on the goal structure are not sufficient to anchor it securely. The referee should inform the coaches that the goals need to be securely anchored before the match can start.

54 Now that we ve finished our pre-game activities... How do we start the game?

55 Starting the Game Conduct coin toss Brief introduction (no long lectures) Doesn t matter who tosses the coin or who calls it Winner of the coin toss chooses which goal to attack The other team takes the kick-off

56 Kick-Off Verify the correct number of players on the field (no visible/audible counting). Minimum of seven (7) players on each team for full-sided regulation games.

57 Defenders All players must be be 10 on yds their from own the side ball A D D A A D A D D A A A A D D D

58 Kick-Off The ball is stationary in the center of the field. Referee blows whistle to start play. Ball is in play when kicked and moves forward.

59 Keeping Time Time starts when the ball has been put into play (kicked and moves forward). The match consists of two equal periods. The clock is stopped (or time added) for excessive time lost due to substitutions, time wasting or unusual delays. The amount of time lost (if any) is determined by the referee.

60 Checking for Learning The team that wins the coin toss gets to choose? Which goal to attack Where should the players be on a kick-off? Each team should be in its own half of the field. The team that is not taking the kick-off must be outside the center circle.

61 Stopping the Game There are seven reasons to stop play: 1. Ball goes out of play 2. The referee deems it necessary 3. Goal is scored 4. Foul is committed 5. Injury 6. Substitution 7. Halftime / End of Game

62 The lines of the field are part of the area they define: In Play In Play IN OUT In Play Either in the air or on the ground Out of Play

63 The ball s position determines whether it is in or out of play; Not the player s position

64 Play is stopped when the referee deems it necessary Sometimes there are outside influences that make it necessary to stop play.

65 Play is stopped when a goal is scored When the ball crosses wholly over the goal line, between the goalposts and beneath the crossbar. It does not matter which team put it there.

66 Play is stopped when a foul is committed This is something that is unfair or unsafe.

67 Play is stopped for injuries ANYTIME IMMEDIATELY In younger players games it s better to err on the side of caution

68 Play is stopped for injuries Blood on clothing must be neutralized. Blood on the body must be removed. This is the coach s responsibility

69 Play is stopped for substitutions There are four opportunities for substitutions during a regulation match: 1. Injury 2. Approx. midway through the first half 3. Halftime 4. Approx. midway through the second half

70 Play is stopped at the end of the first half and at the end of the game

71 Checking for Learning When can the referee stop play for an injury? Anytime Immediately A player dribbling the ball steps over the line. The ball is out of play. (True/False) False. It s the position of the ball (not the player) that determines whether the ball is in play or not.

75 Checking for Learning A player is injured and leaves the field (with the referee s permission). The coach decides to substitute the injured player. Which player gets credit for the quarter? The player that started the quarter.

76 Checking for Learning If the boundary line of the field is a rut in the grass and the ball gets caught in the rut as it rolls, is it in play? Yes. The lines are a part of the area they define. The ball remains in play until the entire ball crosses the entire line.

77 Checking for Learning According to the National Rules and Regulations, what is the minimum amount of time each team member must play? Half the game (two quarters )

78 Fouls and Misconduct OBJECTIVES: Explain the two categories of fouls Cover fouls that occur in younger players games Introduce the concept of misconduct

79 A foul is an unsafe or unfair act: 1. Committed by a player 2. Against an opponent 3. On the field of play 4. While the ball is in play All four elements must exist for the incident to be a foul.

80 Fouls are categorized into two types: Direct Free Kick fouls Indirect Free Kick fouls These categories are named for the way play is restarted

81 Direct Free Kick fouls There are Kicks an opponent 2. Trips an opponent 3. Strikes an opponent Even the attempt to commit any of these three actions is a foul.

90 Indirect Free Kick Two of these fouls most commonly occur in U-10 and younger age groups: Plays in a dangerous manner Goalkeeper takes more than six seconds to put the ball into play Be prompt with the Dangerous Play call. Don t be too ticky-tacky with the six second call

91 MISCONDUCT Behavior that is in serious conflict with the spirit of the game and good sportsmanship (Something that s very rare in the U-10 game) Two types of Misconduct: Those resulting in a Caution Those resulting in a Send-Off

92 MISCONDUCT There are seven cautionable offences: 1. Unsporting behavior 2. Dissent by word or action 3. Persistently infringes the Laws of the Game 4. Delays the restart of play 5.

94 Misconduct is rare in U-10 games. Referees should deal with it informally without showing cards.

95 Coaches and spectators can be warned and even dismissed from the game. But they must never be shown the red or yellow card.

96 Checking for Learning There are two types of fouls. Name them. Direct Free Kick Fouls Indirect Free Kick Fouls Why are the fouls given these names? They are named for the way play is restarted after the referee has stopped play because of the foul.

101 Checking for Learning The ball bounces up and hits a player in the arm. Is this a foul? No A player that s lying on the ground kicks at the ball. No one else is near. Is this dangerous play? No

102 Checking for Learning The referee thinks a foul may have occurred but he s not sure. Should he stop play? No A U-10 player is guilty of one of the types of Misconduct. The player should be shown the yellow or red card. (True/False) The referee has the authority to show the card, but should work together with the coach to resolve the matter without displaying a card.

103 Checking for Learning A coach is behaving badly and the referee elects to dismiss the coach from the field. If the coach s conduct is terribly bad, the referee may show the coach the red card. Cards are solely for the players. Coaches/Spectators are NEVER to be shown the cards.

104 Restarting the Game For some reason, the game has been stopped. (Injury, goal, foul, ball out of play, etc.) How do we restart play?

105 Restarting the Game THROW-IN When the ball passes out of play over a touch line, play is restarted with a Throw-in. The throw is taken by the opponents of the team that last touched the ball. The throw is taken from the approximate point on the line where the ball left the field.

106 Restarting the Game THROW-IN At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must: Face the field of play; Have part of each foot touching the ground either on or behind the line; and Use both hands to deliver the ball from behind and over the head.

107 Restarting the Game THROW-IN The ball is in play as soon as released and any portion of it is on or over the outside edge of the touchline. Opposing players must be at least 2 yds. from the point of the throw-in. A goal may not be scored directly from a throw-in.

109 Restarting the Game GOAL KICK When the whole ball passes over the goal line, last touched by an attacker (not a goal), play is restarted with a Goal Kick for the defending team. The ball is placed anywhere in the goal area.

110 GOAL KICK All of these balls are legally placed within the goal area.

111 Restarting the Game GOAL KICK The ball is in play when it leaves the penalty area into the field of play The kicker cannot touch the ball a second time until it s touched by any other player. A goal can be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team.

112 Restarting the Game CORNER KICK When the whole ball passes over the goal line, last touched by a defender (not a goal), play is restarted with a Corner Kick for the attacking team. The ball is placed anywhere within the corner arc area.

115 Restarting the Game FREE KICKS A way to restart play when the Referee has stopped play because of a foul. There are two types of free kicks: Direct Free Kick Indirect Free Kick

116 Restarting the Game Direct Free Kick (DFK) A goal can be scored directly from the kick (against the opposing team) Indirect Free Kick (IFK) The ball must touch any other player before a goal can be scored

117 Restarting the Game To signal an Indirect Free Kick, the Referee holds his hand straight up into the air. The hand remains in this position until the ball either (a) touches any other player, or (b) goes out of play. There is no signal for a Direct Free Kick

118 Restarting the Game The kicker may not touch the ball a second time until it has touched Exception: If a free kick taken by the another player. defending team in its own penalty area is touched a second time before the ball leaves the penalty area, the kick is retaken.

119 In most cases a Free Kick (both types) is: Taken from the location of the foul, and In play once it is kicked (with a kicking motion) and moves. All opponents must be 10 yds. from the ball. But there are some exceptions.

120 If a free kick of any type is awarded to the defending team in its own goal area, the ball can be placed anywhere in the goal area Direction of Kick The ball is in play once it leaves the Penalty Area into the field of play

121 If an IFK is awarded to the attacking team in its opponent s goal area, the ball is moved out to the goal area line. Direction of Kick The ball is in play once it is kicked and moves.

122 If a Direct Free Kick Foul is awarded to the attacking team in the opponent s penalty area, a penalty kick is awarded instead. Direction of Kick The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward.

123 PENALTY KICK (U-10 and above, only) A penalty kick is awarded when a direct free kick foul has been committed by a team within its own penalty area.

125 Restarting the Game DROPPED BALL A way to restart play for an unusual but neutral reason. Examples: Injury Dog on the field Stray ball on the field

126 DROPPED BALL The referee drops the ball where it was when play was stopped. The ball is dropped from the players waist height. The ball is in play when it hits the ground. If a player kicks the ball before it hits the ground, the ball is dropped again.

127 Checking for Learning The ball goes completely over the touch line, last touched by an attacker. What is the restart? Throw-in for the defending team The ball goes completely over the goal line (not a goal), last touched by a defender. What is the restart? Corner Kick

131 OFFSIDE The Offside Law is the only law that restricts tactical positioning during dynamic play. The offside law is intended to ensure that players earn the right to shoot on goal.

132 OFFSIDE Elements of the offside infraction: 1. Position 2. Time of Judgment 3. Active Involvement All three elements must be present or there cannot be an infraction

133 OFFSIDE Offside Position A Player is in an offside position if he is: 1. In the opponents half of the field; 2. Closer to the opponents goal line than at least two opponents; and 3. Closer to the opponents goal line than the ball All three elements must be present or the player is not in an offside position, and there cannot be an infraction

134 Offside Position It is not an offence to be in an offside position It just means that player is momentarily off his team. He cannot interfere with play or any of the opposing players. He cannot have any involvement in the match. He s off his team.

135 OFFSIDE Time of Judgment Offside Position is judged at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team

136 OFFSIDE Active Involvement A player may be involved in active play by: 1. Interfering with play; 2. Interfering with an opponent; or 3. Gaining an advantage by being in that position.

137 OFFSIDE Once all three of these conditions have been met: POSITION TIME OF JUDGMENT ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT An offside infraction has occurred An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place the infringement occurred.

138 OFFSIDE Exceptions There is no offence if a player receives the ball directly from: Goal Kick Corner Kick Throw-In
