  • Soccer Is the Fastest Growing Sport in the World, and the Most Popular. in Some Parts of the World It Is Also Called “Futball” (Pronounced “Football”)
    SOCCER STUDY GUIDE HISTORY: Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the world, and the most popular. In some parts of the world it is also called “Futball” (pronounced “football”). It all began in Great Britain, then called “Association Football” and spread throughout the world in no time. The governing body we know as the F.I.F.A. was formed in 1904, the same year that the first International match was played between Belgium and France. The first World Cup was played in 1930 in Uruguay. Soccer came to the United States in 1918 at the Bethlehem Pennsylvania Steel Company. Youth soccer began in the early 1940’s. Today, thousands of adults and children play soccer at various levels. BASIC RULES: Each team may have 11 players including a goalie. You may score from anywhere on the field. The ball may not touch a player from the shoulders to the fingertips. The game begins with one team gaining possession in the center circle as a result of a coin toss. An official game is divided into halves. There are no “time-outs” in soccer. Penalties include tripping, aggressive play, handballs, etc. If an offensive player is fouled in the box, the result is a penalty kick. Penalties result in free kicks (direct, indirect) and the defense must stand 10 yards away. TERMS: Assist- Making a pass to a teammate that allows them to score. Corner kick- Putting the ball back into play when it goes out over the end line by the defensive team. Direct kick- A free kick that may directly enter the goal.

  • ANZA Rules for Penalty Shootouts
    Rules for Penalty Shootouts The penalty-kick shootout to decide a match consists of a minimum of 5 penalty kicks to be taken by each of the two teams from the penalty spot (8 yards from the goal line in the case of half-pitch play, 10 yards in the case of full pitch play). The referee decides by the flip of a coin which team begins. The two teams alternate until 5 different players from each team have made their kick. If the score is a draw at the completion of the 5th kick, both teams take a kick until a winner is found. A different player must be used for each kick and a player involved in the first 5 kicks cannot be reused in the subsequent "sudden death" situation until all other players on his side, including the goalkeeper, have taken their turn. The Coach of each team selects the 5 players and his goalkeeper to participate. These must be players who were on the pitch at the end of match play. This selected group of players should wait in a group either in the center circle or at the midfield line (the selected group for each team should be located in separate sides of the pitch). Should no winner be decided at the end of 5 rounds, each team will send up a player who was on the pitch at the end of the match to take the subsequent round until the match is decided. Should all players who were on the pitch take their turn and there is still no decision, then players who were not on the pitch are to be used.

  • Awareness of Game Situations
    Referee has collected some of the best Football Officiating tips & techniques they could find and have created a Football Officiating A-Z email series to share with officials. Officials who are interested can visit https://www.referee.com/free-guides/ for more officiating resources. Tips will be added weekly once new ones are released. AWARENESS OF GAME SITUATIONS Most football fans understand how the down, distance, score and time remaining affect how teams strategize. The same information that helps the guy in the 53rd row can help officials if they use a little common sense. For example, it’s third down and 11. Team A trails by two points with 1:37 to play in the fourth quarter and has the ball on its own 44 yardline. Going without a huddle because it is out of timeouts, team A lines up in a shotgun formation with an empty backfield and three eligible receivers on the right side of the formation. Gee, do you think a pass is coming? Do you think the receivers will run at least 11-yard routes? Is it likely the quarterback’s first look will be to a receiver running a pattern near the sideline? That is a fairly elementary example, but it illustrates how officials can process information and turn it into proper coverage of a play. The latter stages of a game are also prime times for flea-flickers or other trick plays, onside kicks, clock- killing spikes (and fake spikes) and other tactics that are less than routine. Your ability to anticipate them will help determine if you are in proper position to make a big call (or no-call) at the end of a game.
