Soccer Captain’s “Meeting”
2011 Rules
• No major changes in rules from 2010• Still using a two referee system– Teams do NOT need to provide linesmen
because referees should be following the play
Yellow and Red Cards
• Yellow card serves as a warning of an action that needs to cease
• Two yellow cards will result in a red card• Red card may be issued without prior yellow if
violation is severe enough• Red card results in that player leaving the
game and his/her team playing one player down
• Red cards will be reported to Director of IM for consideration of next game suspension as well
Key Rules and Regulations to Highlight
• Soccer cleats must be worn, no screw in football or baseball cleats
• Pushing will be called when the referee sees an extension of the arm
• A high kick near any player will result in an indirect kick and a yellow card
Handling• Handling the ball involves a deliberate act
of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm.
Phrase to remember“If the ball plays the hand it is not a foul, but if the hand plays the ball, then it is”
Reminders• Any player who is not a captain will not
direct a comment to a ref about a play• Rescheduling games is your
responsibility– Switch with another already
scheduled game– Doubtful that there will be another
time slot– IM Supervisors are the final authority
