  1. U.S. Soccer Referee Department2012 Grade 8 – Law 13 Free Kicks

  2. Objectives At the end of this lesson the student will be able to demonstrate to the Instructors satisfaction: • list the elements necessary for a correctly taken free kick • state the two exceptions to placing the ball at the point of infraction • state an exception to the 10 yard requirement • state the difference between a DFK and IFK

  3. Topics • Definition • Types of free kicks • Free kick “rules” • Special “requirements” in penalty and goal areas • “Quick” free kick • “Ceremonial” free kick • Encroachment • Restart mechanics • When a free kick is in play vs when goal can be scored

  4. Definition of a Free Kick “The way play is restarted after the referee has stopped play for an infraction”

  5. Only 2 types of free kicks DFK (Direct Free Kick) 1. Offense committed on the field of play + plus 2. Ball must be in play when offense committed + plus 3. Must be between opposing players IFK (Indirect Free Kick)

  6. Direct Free Kick GOAL! B A • One of the 10 DFK fouls • Outside penalty area of offending team • Can score directly against opponent

  7. Indirect Free Kick GOAL! B A • One of the 8 IFK fouls • Cannot score directly against opponent • Must touch another player!

  8. Free Kick Rules • Ball must be stationary • Played in any direction • No “double touch” • No encroachment • Restart signal requirements • “Quick” restart • “Ceremonial” restart • Cannot score directly against self • Point of infraction (2 exceptions)

  9. Indirect Free Kick to Attackers Point of infraction exception #1 IFK in opponent’s goal area is moved out to the nearest point on the goal area line

  10. Indirect Free Kick to Defenders Point of infraction exception #2 • All opponents must be out of penalty area • Ball must clear penalty area prior to any 2nd touch • Opponents may not enter penalty area until ball leaves the area directly.

  11. Free Kick in Penalty Area to Defenders • All opponents must be out of penalty area • Ball must clear penalty area prior to 2nd touch • Opponents may not enter penalty area until ball leaves the area directly.

  12. Free Kick and Restart Management Free Kicks fall into two basic restart categories… • Quick • Ceremonial

  13. Free Kick and Restart Management Quick Free Kick • Attacking team takes kick as soon as ball is properly placed • No separate signal by referee needed • Attacking team does not ask for minimum • distance (visually or verbally) Should be the method encouraged by the referee except when specific circumstances require a Ceremonial Free Kick

  14. Video – What’s wrong with this QFK ?

  15. Free Kick and Restart Management Ceremonial Free Kick • Referee is required to enforce the distance after: • Red/Yellow card • On field treatment of injury • Substitution • Request from attacking team (visually or verbally) • Game control purposes

  16. Free Kick and Restart Management Difficult times later = Set the Tone • Address early • Prevent • Set a standard • Hold players accountable Failure to deal with early

  17. Video – Ball Placement

  18. Video – Establish Restart Position

  19. Free Kick and Restart Management Sequence of Actions to Manage Free Kicks Quick Free Kick Ceremonial Free Kick Whistle Foul Move Toward Spot of Foul (as needed) Ensure Ball Properly Located Read Player’s Intent: Move to Position Appropriate for the Restart Look for Confirmation of Ceremonial Kick (CFK) From Attackers Encourage the Kick by Verbally Managing Opponents Around the Ball to Prevent Interference Team Indicates They Want Ceremonial Restart (CFK) Get To Ball Show “Wait for Whistle Signal” Move the Wall Back: Get 10 yards From Players in All Directions Move to Restart Position Whistle for Restart

  20. Free Kick and Restart Management Danger Zone on Free Kicks • Ball at proper location • Referee close but not • interfering with a • “quick free kick” • Ask/ascertain if the attacking team wants the wall moved • If so, move quickly to the ball • Clearly indicate “wait for the whistle” signal • Move wall back: Get the full 10 yards! • Whistle restart

  21. Free Kick and Restart Management The “Statue” The player(s) who immediately stands in front of the ball to prevent the kick from being taken thereby forcing the referee to intervene • Proactive verbally • Encourage the statue to move back with you • Detect trend • Move to the spot of the foul quicker • Presence • Consider: • Did the player run-in to form the statue? or • Was he already there immediately following the foul?

  22. Free Kick and Restart Management The “Statue” • Presence is critical • to prevent “the statue” from • kicking or throwing the ball away • Presence = Prevention • Without Presence…Cautions may result • Delaying a Restart • Not Respecting the Required Distance

  23. Free Kick and Restart Management How To Prevent Interference • Presence • Awareness of team and player tactics • Communication (verbal/visual) • Proactive • AR’s assistance • Pregame(when and how) • If AR assists, wait until AR back in position to restart

  24. Free Kick and Restart Management Cautions and Retakes “If a player decides to take a free kick and an opponent who is less that 10 yards from the ball intercepts it, the referee must allow play to continue.” and “If a player decides to take a free kick quickly and an opponent who is near the ball deliberately prevents him from taking the kick, the referee must caution the player for delaying the restart of play.” 2008/2009 FIFA’s “Interpretation of the Laws of the Game and Guidelines for Referees”

  25. Free Kick and Restart Management Cautions and Retakes The Key Term . . . . “If a player decides to take a free kick and an opponent who is less that 10 yards from the ball intercepts it, the referee must allow play to continue.” and “If a player decides to take a free kick quickly and an opponent who is near the balldeliberately preventshim from taking the kick, the referee must caution the player for delaying the restart of play.”

  26. Free Kick and Restart Management Cautions and Retakes Key Phrase “deliberately prevents” This means that the player impedes in a manner that the kicker is unable to take the free kick quickly. If the kick is taken, it has not been prevented from being taken and play must be allowed to continue. The taking of the free kick is a decision of the attacker and, therefore, the attacker must assume responsibility for the consequences

  27. Law 13

  28. Quick Free Kick • Kicking team has a right to a quick restart if they wish to use it • Opponents must retire 10 yards • Opponents have no right to form a wall • Kicker restarting prior to the opponents retiring is at risk of losing possession

  29. Quick Free Kick • Referee should interfere/manage when: • Kicking team asks for 10 yards • Encroachment is severe • “Quick” restart is not taken • Mandatory hand signal on IFK • What if…IFK and no signal by ref? • Q1 - Kick is taken before signal is given and ball goes into goal? • Q2 - Kick is taken before signal and ball does not go into goal?

  30. Quick Free Kick Guidelines • Caution player - retake kick • Opponent retiring and kicker makes mistake and kicks ball to opponent • No offense - kicker at risk • Opponent retiring, but deflects ball when kicked right by him/her • Warn player - retake kick if no goal results • Opponent retiring, but makes an effort to intercept the ball. If player succeeds,

  31. Quick Free Kick Guidelines = Continue Play Attacking Team Deliberately Kicks The Ball Into Opponent Defender does not advance/lunge directly toward the ball with the foot/leg to prevent the kick Regardless of the position of the defending team, if the attacking team intentionally kicks/plays the ball directly into the opponent who is less than the required minimum distance from the ball, continue play.

  32. Ceremonial Free Kick • Organized “defensive wall” • Clearly show kicker to wait for whistle • Be “first brick” in the wall - 10 yards • Bring opponents to you • Move to your next position • Signal for restart • When you are ready • As soon as possible

  33. Encroachment Failure to respect the required distance is a cautionable offense 10 yards in all directions

  34. Restart Mechanics Opponents must retire 10 yards with one exception, if they’re between goalposts and on the goal line.

  35. Restart Mechanics • Position defenders • Do not allow encroachment • Position yourself • Indicate IFK if appropriate • Signal for restart • Use whistle if “ceremonial” kick

  36. Ball in Play vs Goal Scored • Ball is “in play” when: • Kicked and moves and • Leaves penalty area (if appropriate) • Goal can be scored when: • Ball is “in play” • Ball is touched by 2nd player on IFK • Ball is kicked into opponents goal

  37. Review • Restart method after what type of stoppage? • A foul or infraction • How many types of free kicks are there? • Two, what are they and describe their differences • DFK, goal can be scored directly • IFK, ball must touch another player before a goal can be scored

  38. Review • From where is the free kick taken? • Restart at place of infraction except? • Own goal area; anywhere in goal area • Opponent’s goal area; on goal area line nearest infraction • Can the ball be moving when taken? • No, it must be stationary • What direction must it be kicked? • Any direction is acceptable

  39. Review • Can the kicker touch it a second time? • No, IFK to opponents • How far away must opponents move? • 10 yards, unless on their own goal line… • Can the kick be taken before opponents move 10 yards? • Yes, but there are caveats • Who can ask for 10 yards? • Anyone on kicking team may request, but… • they must wait for referee to signal

  40. Review • What is the signal for an Indirect Free Kick? • How long should it be held? • Until it has touched another player, or • it has gone out of play • If a free kick is taken within a team’s own penalty area, when is it in play? • When it leaves the penalty area

  41. Law 13 • May a player step on or tap the ball to put it in play? • Not really, it must be a kicking motion and the ball must move
