Foul Play/Sideline Comments/Halftime Coaches & Player questioning By Steve Piacun
Foul Play One Standard, Consistent Application High Tackles Above shoulders, even if it starts lower it is HIGH. We need to look at the intent of the tackle and then look at which sanction we will be handing out. 1- Careless, without obvious intent, PK Min 2 – Dangerous/Reckless, YC Minimum 3 – Repetitive – Caution and YC START AT RED AND WORK BACKWARDS
Lifting & Tip Tackles Lifted above ground, but not more than horizontal, and not bought safety to ground - PK Lifted to horizontal & dropped - YC/RC Head below hips & driven to ground - RC A normal driving low tackle where a player is lifted slightly off the ground and lands on the bottom is not an tip tackle.
Managing Foul Play When you stop the game all eyes are on you so you MAKE IT COUNT! Tone & Timing is Key – What is your trigger Keep to fact’s and keep it simply. Asst Referees – Key is to watch the players not the ball. Referee will look after that, we need to protect players away from the ball.

The Halftime Approach*OUR TIME TO REFLECT ON THE FIRST HALF AND GET READY FOR 2ND • DON’T ENGAGE! • You’re not required to justify anything at this time • Think of the message it sends to the other team • Think about your colleague next week. • Smile • And say now is not an good time, but happy to talk after the end of the game.
