Laws of the Game

The Laws of the Game can be

summarized in three simple words:

FunSafeFair


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.


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.

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.


Restarting the Game

THROW-IN

At the moment of deliveringthe 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.


Restarting the GameTHROW-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.

Restarting the GameTHROW-IN


In U-5 games, as long as the game is re-started, let most

any attempted throw go.

A second throw-in should be allowed in U-6 games if the first attempt is not properly

performed.If the second attempt is not

successful, let it go.
