• Players • Minor Fouls/Major Foul/Penalty Fouls • Misconduct, Flagrant Misconduct • Red Cards, Yellow Cards • Time-outs • The “Advantage Rule”
The Advantage Rule• The referees shall refrain from declaring a foul if, in their
opinion, such declaration would be an advantage to the offending player’s team. The referees shall not declare an ordinary foul when there is still a possibility to play the ball.
• The referees shall apply this principle to the fullest extent. They should not, for example, declare an ordinary foul in favor of a player who is in possession of the ball and making progress towards the opponent’s goal, because this is considered to given an advantage to the offender’s team.
What is a Foul?Three Categories of Fouls • Minor Fouls - Fouls of Possession • Major Fouls of Play -
– Fouls of Position and Probable Goal – Includes Penalty Shots
• Major Fouls of Physicality/Conduct – Fouls outside of normal play – Includes Minor Act of Misconduct (MAM), Misconduct,
Brutality • All fouls should be viewed in the context of the Advantage Rule
Common Minor Fouls• To Impede
Ø It is possession of the ball that is impeded Ø Defense illegally takes away ball Ø Referee restores possession and pass
• To Push or Push Off Ø Attacker illegally moves defender out of way to make play Ø Referee gives ball to rightful team - the defense
• To Take the Ball Under Water Ø Can only be whistled against the attack
Ø Player must possess the ball to take it under water
Common Major Fouls• To Hold, Sink or Pullback an opponent that is not holding the ball
Ø Defender has illegally taken away attacker's superior position Ø Referee restores position and/or superior numbers of attack Ø These fouls are part of normal play and happen all the time at the
ball and away from the ball.
• To Kick or Strike an Opponent... Ø It does not matter if a player is still holding the ball
• Penalty: Ø ANY foul committed within the 5M area in front of the goal that
prevents a probable goal Ø Yes a penalty can be called when a player is holding ball
Officiating is NOT Easy• Not part of “Field of Play” • Water can hide majority of action • Only whistle what you see
Ø Can not assume action of players • Passion of the Participants
Ø Coaches, Athletes, Parents Ø Referee is passionate as well
• Black, White and lots of GREY • Aggressive Play v. Dirty Play
Honoring the Game: Parents• Make a commitment to Honor the Game in action and language no
matter what others may do. • Don't give instructions. Let the coach correct player mistakes. • Cheer good plays by both teams!!! • Mention good calls by the official to other parents. • If an official makes a "bad" call against your team? Honor the Game—
BE SILENT! • If another parent on your team yells at an official? Remind him or her to
Honor the Game. • Don't do anything in the heat of the moment that you will regret after the
game. Ask yourself, "Will this embarrass my child or the team?" • Remember to have fun! Enjoy the game. • Thank the officials for doing a difficult job for little or no pay. • Thank the coaches for their commitment and effort.
