  8. Spirit of Soccer The Laws of the Game can be summarized in three simple words: Safe Fair Fun • Flows from start to finish • Referee enforces Laws of the Game • Maintain Fair Play – • “In the Opinion of the referee” Basic Referee Course - Lesson 1

  9. Philosophy of Refereeing (from AYSO National Rules and Regs) 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. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 1

  10. Understanding Younger Players Implications for how we referee these games • 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. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 2

  11. Dealing with Coaches/Spectators • Use the “AYSO Team” to enlist cooperation • Remain calm and professional, maintain control of your emotions • Intervene early to prevent escalation (A smile, wink or look can defuse a bad situation) • Keep adults focused on creating a fun experience for the players Basic Referee Course - Lesson 2

  17. Lightning Storms • “It is said that lightning can strike from a clear blue sky that is within a ten mile radius of a storm.” • Region 399 rule: If you hear thunder or see lightning, you must terminate the match and tell coaches and players to clear the field. • “If you see it-flee it, if you hear it-clear it” Basic Referee Course - Lesson 3

  18. Inspect The Ball • Proper Size (U-6 to U-8 = #3) • Proper Size (U10 & U12 = #4) • Proper Size (U14 & up = #5) • Smooth Ball – No Loose/Scratched Panels • Is It Round? Toss it in the air: Does it wobble? • Properly Inflated? Basic Referee Course - Lesson 3

  25. Now that we’ve finished our pre-game activities.... How do we start the game? Basic Referee Course - Lesson 3

  26. Starting the Game Conduct coin toss • Captains To The Center Circle • Show Coin – Indicate Heads vs. Tails • “Visiting” Team Calls Toss • Winner Picks Goal to Attack • Signal The Result • Note Kick off Team on Line up Card Other team kicks off to begin second half • Teams On The Field – Count Players • Start Play Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  27. Starting the Game • Roster size and number of players on the field during play varies with age groups (divisions). • Players: Those on the field. • Substitutes: the rest of the team that is present at the match. • A team is entitled to play with the maximum number of players for that age group. • Start the game on time. • If game starts late, subtract time from playing time of each half. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  28. Kick-Off Used to start or restart game: • At the beginning of each half and • After each goal scored. • A goal MAY BE SCORED directly from a kick-off. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  29. Kick-Off Procedure • Players must be on their own side of the field • Opponents of the kicking team must be outside the center circle (10 yards from the ball) - They may not enter the circle until the ball is played. • The ball is stationary on the center mark in the center circle. • The referee blows whistle to start play. • The ball is in play when it has been kicked and moves forward. • Retake if kick-off is not properly completed because the ball has not been put into play. • Time starts once the kick-off has been properly completed. • The kicker cannot touch the ball again until another player touches it. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  30. Kick-Off Formation Defenders must be outside center circle D A D A D D A A A D D A D A Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  31. 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. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  32. Duration of the Match: (Law 7) • U19 90 minutes • U16 80 minutes • U14 70 minutes (5x14) • U12 60 minutes (5x12) • U10 50 minutes (5x10) • U8 40 minutes (5x8) • U6 30 minutes (5x6) Basic Referee Course - Lesson 4

  33. Stopping Play “Soccer is a game that flows. Play is continuous unless the referee stops it or the ball goes wholly outside the boundaries of the field.” • Ball goes out of play (touch line or goal line) • Goal is scored • Injury • Substitution (in AYSO) • Foul or Misconduct • Interference by “outside agent” • Halftime / End of Game Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  34. Play is stopped when ball goes out of play The Lines of the field are part of the area they define: In Play IN In Play OUT In Play Out of Play Either in the air or on the ground! Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  35. Play is stopped when ball goes out of play The ball’s position determines whether it is in or out of play; Not the player’s position Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  36. Play is stopped when a goal is scored When the ball crosses wholly over the goal line, between the goalposts and beneath the crossbar while in legal play. Any player may score a goal. Except when taking a throw-in, goal kick, corner kick, free kick, penalty kick or kick-off, a ball played into a players own goal is a goal for the opposing team. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  37. Play is stopped for injuries ANYTIME IMMEDIATELY In younger players’ games it’s better to err on the side of caution. If a child falls down and they get back up, you do not need to stop play. Be sure to ask them if they are OK. Stop play if you notice a behavior that might suggest injury ( i.e.: limping, holding arm, etc.). Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  38. Play is stopped for injuries • Blood on clothing must be neutralized or clothing replaced. • Blood on the body must be removed and skin disinfected. • Blood on field must be cleaned and disinfected before play continues. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  39. Play is stopped for substitutions There are four opportunities in AYSO for substitutions in a regulation match: • Injury • Approx. midway through the first half • Halftime • Approx. midway through the second half You should wait until there is a natural stoppage in play at approximately mid-way into each half. (i.e.: throw in, goal kick, etc.). Note: The restart after substitutions is the restart for the reason play was stopped. If play was stopped only for substitutions or injury, the restart would be a dropped ball. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  40. Substitutes and Substitutions • Each player present at the game MUST play at least half of the game. If a child arrives late, the rule is modified. • Region 399: • No player can play three quarters until all players have played two quarters. • No player can play four quarters until all players have played three quarters. • Note: • If a child arrives during the first quarter, the child should still play equal to the teammates. • If a child arrives after the start of the second quarter, they should play the second half. • If a child arrives after the start of the third quarter, they need to play the fourth quarter. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  41. Play is stopped when the referee deems it necessary Sometimes there are outside agents that make it necessary to stop play. Play stops whenever the referee blows the whistle! Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  42. Play is stopped when a foul is committed This is something that is unfair or unsafe. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  43. Play is stopped at the end of the first half and at the end of the game Basic Referee Course - Lesson 5

  44. Restarting the Game For some reason, the game has been stopped. (Injury, goal, foul, ball out of play, etc.) How do we restart play? Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  45. The Start and Restart of Play • Kick Off (any questions?) • Throw In • Goal Kick • Corner Kick • Free Kick (Direct) • Free Kick (Indirect) • Dropped Ball • Penalty Kick (U10 & up) Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  46. Restarting the Game THROW-IN: (Law 15) 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. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  47. 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. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  48. Restarting the Game THROW-IN • The ball is in play as soon it as released and any portion of it is on or over the outside edge of the touchline. • Opponents must be at least 2 yds. from the point of the throw-in. • A goal may not be scored directly from a throw-in. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  49. Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6

  50. Region 399 Rule • U8 players have three chances to perform an appropriate throw in. • Use the time to teach the skill. Coach and ref work together. • Do all you can to have the child succeed. • Hold ankles if needed. • Tell child to put feet together, place ball behind head, stick out stomach and then throw the ball. Almost impossible to jump or lift foot. • U10 and older: if not performed correctly, throw in is awarded to the opponent at the same spot. • Be careful not to be trifling and “when in doubt- do not shout!” Basic Referee Course - Lesson 6
