FOULS Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
FOULS Write these down !! In order to be a Foul, the incident must be committed: 1. By a player 2. Against an opposing player 3. While the ball is in play All three criteria MUST be met, or it isn’t a foul ! Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
FOULS There are eleven of them There are two types of fouls: Seven “conditional” fouls. Must be committed in a manner considered by the referee Direct Free Kick Fouls to be: • Careless • Reckless and • Using excessive force Indirect Free Kick Fouls Four “un-conditional” fouls. If they happened…. then they’re fouls Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Direct Free Kick Fouls Seven “conditional” fouls 1. Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent 2. Trips or attempts to trip an opponent 3. Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent 4. Jumps at an opponent 5. Charges an opponent 6. Pushes an opponent 7. Tackles or challenges an opponent Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Direct Free Kick Fouls Seven “conditional” fouls 1. Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent 2. Trips or attempts to trip an opponent 3. Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent 4. Jumps at an opponent 5. Charges an opponent 6. Pushes an opponent 7. Tackles or challenges an opponent Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Direct Free Kick Fouls Seven “conditional” fouls 1. Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent 2. Trips or attempts to trip an opponent 3. Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent 4. Jumps at an opponent 5. Charges an opponent 6. Pushes an opponent 7. Tackles or challenges an opponent Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Direct Free Kick Fouls Seven “conditional” fouls If the referee deems the action to be an offense AND It involves contact with an opponent, it is a Direct Free Kick or Penalty Kick Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
The “Conditions” Careless – the player has not used due caution in making a play. Reckless – the player acts with disregard to the dangers to or consequences for the opponent. Excessive Force – the player has exceeded the use of force necessary to make a fair play for the ball and has endangered the safety of an opponent. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
The remaining four DFK fouls are: • Holds an opponent • Spits at an opponent • Impedes an opponent with contact • Handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area) (This is a foul against the opposing team) Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Indirect Free Kick Fouls The IFK fouls fall into two groups: Four that are committed solely by the goalkeeper Three that can be committed by anyone. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Four IFK Fouls committed solely by the goalkeeper 1. Takes more than six seconds while controlling the ball with his hands before releasing it from his possession. 2. Touches the ball again with his hands after releasing it from his possession and before it has been touched by any other player. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Four IFK Fouls committed solely by the goalkeeper 3. Touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate 4. Touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Three IFK Fouls committed by anyone 1. Plays in a dangerous manner 2. Impedes the progress of an opponent without making contact 3. Prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
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. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Law 5: Advantage The referee “allows play to continue when the team against which an offense has been committed will benefit from such an advantage. . . “ If the advantage situation does not benefit the offended team within 2 -3 seconds, the referee should stop the match and penalize the original foul Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Law 5: Advantage • The ability to thwart the offender’s unfair actions by allowing play to continue is unique to soccer. • If the foul is considered to also be misconduct, once the referee has negated the foul’s influence on play by applying Advantage, the referee can and should, discipline the player at the next stoppage. • The Law specifies that if no benefit arises for the team against which the offense was committed, the referee MAY use its absence to cancel his decision, even if he has signaled “Advantage … Play On. ” Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Advantage: Case Studies A tripped attacker stumbles but keeps her feet and takes a shot on goal. What does the referee do? Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Advantage: Case Studies A tripped attacker stumbles but keeps her feet. However, in stumbling, she is unable to maintain possession of the ball and it is collected by a defender. What does the referee do? Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Advantage: Case Studies A tripped attacker stumbles but keeps her feet and passes the ball to a teammate, but the ball sails over the touch line out of play. What does the referee do? Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Advantage: Case Studies A tripped attacker stumbles and falls, but the ball goes directly to her teammate who continues toward goal. What does the referee do? Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
POSSIBLY DOUBTFUL RARELY . . Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Advantage CAUTION!!!!! Do not apply Advantage in situations that involve Serious Foul Play or Violent Conduct, or a 2 nd Cautionable Offense UNLESS There is a clear opportunity to score a goal. In that case, the player must be sent off at the next stoppage. If Advantage has been given but the player to be sanctioned then becomes further involved, stop play, administer the sending-off and restart with an IFK. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2

DOGSO THE FOUR “Ds” Distance from the goal Distance from the ball Direction (toward the goal) Defenders able to defend – (one or none) Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
DOGSO EXCEPTION By a Defending player in His/Her Own Penalty Area If the Referee awards a Penalty Kick Player is CAUTIONED • If it involves holding, pulling or pushing; OR • If there is no attempt to play the ball or no possibility to play the ball; OR • If it is deemed to be Serious Foul Play or Violent Conduct Player is SENT OFF Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
MISCONDUCT If play is stopped to issue a caution or send-off in conjunction with the commission of a foul, the restart would be an IFK, a DFK or a PK as appropriate. A player may carry out a combination of Misconduct and Foul, and the referee may sanction either or both Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
MISCONDUCT If the referee stops play for misconduct that is not also a foul, the restart will be: • Indirect Free Kick if the misconduct is committed on the field of play (by a player or substitute) • Dropped ball otherwise (typically when misconduct occurs off the field of play) Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
MISCONDUCT If the ball is in play and a player commits misconduct outside the field of play; the restart would be: • If the player was already off the field, a dropped ball where the ball was when play was stopped • If the player left the field to commit the infraction, an Indirect Direct Free Kick where the ball was when play was stopped • If the player left the field as part of the momentum of a play and then commits a foul, a free kick is awarded on the boundary line nearest to where the offense occurred; and, in the case of a DFK foul, if that is on the goal line in the offender’s penalty area, a penalty kick is awarded.

Checking for Learning If a player jumps up-and-down to obstruct or prevent a player from carrying out a throw-in, is this a foul or misconduct? Misconduct (Unsporting Behavior) What is the offense if a player forcefully strikes an opponent while they are competing for the ball? Serious Foul Play Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 2
Checking for Learning What is the offense if a player strikes another player while waiting for a corner kick to be taken? Violent Conduct What are three DFK fouls for which even the attempt can be a foul?

OFFSIDE The Offside Law is the only law that restricts tactical positioning during dynamic play. The offside law is intended to ensure that players earn the right to shoot on goal. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Elements of the offside infraction: 1. Position 2. Active Involvement Both elements must be present or there cannot be an infraction Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Offside Position A Player is in an offside position if he is: 1. In the opponents’ half of the field; 2. Closer to the opponents’ goal line than at least two opponents; and 3. Closer to the opponents’ goal line than the ball All three elements must be present or the player is not in an offside position, and there cannot be an infraction Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Offside Position It is not an offence to be in an offside position It just means that player is momentarily off his team. He cannot interfere with play or any of the opposing players. He cannot have any involvement in the match. He is off his team. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Offside Position Time of Judgment Offside Position is judged at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Active Involvement A player may be involved in active play by: 1. Interfering with play; 2. Interfering with an opponent; or 3. Gaining an advantage by being in that position. Intermediate Referee Course - Lesson 3
OFFSIDE Once these two conditions have been met: POSITION AT THE TIME OF JUDGMENT ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT An offside infraction has occurred (If you aren’t sure it’s offside, don’t signal it) An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place where the player in offside position became involved in the play.
