and spectators

Attendance


Arrive 20-30 minutes early before each game
If a referee does not show up, then please follow these
procedures:
• Try to contact either Mr. Brian Behrman (Recreational)
• If you cannot contact Mr. Behrman or if he does not have a
substitute available, you should see if there is another licensed
referee in the area who can act as a linesman.
• Unless that referee just finished a game at the same level, you
should still try to contact Mr. Behrman before having that
person step in.
• Any such tardiness should be reported to Mr. Behrman (see
Contacts).
• If you cannot find a suitable linesman, then you can use a
“club linesman” if the coaches agree.
• If the scheduled linesman shows up after the game has
started, they may take over for the “club linesman” with the
referee’s permission.

Games should not start without the FIFA prescribed three
referees.
10
Preparedness

Head Referee
•
•
•
•
•

Coin for starting game
Working whistle
Watch or stop watch
Game report and pen or pencil
Your red and yellow cards.
Assistant Referee (Linesman)
• Flag
• All the above for Head Referee in the event
you need to step in if the head referee does
not show.
11
Attire

Wearing the proper Referee Uniform
• Yellow shirt
• Black shorts
• Long black socks


Shirt must be tucked in for the entire
duration of the game.
We need to set an example for the
coaches and players
12
Time Management







Time management of the soccer game IS the
responsibility of the referee
NOT the coaches…
NOT the players and…
NOT the administrators.
SABR works very hard to schedule as many
games as possible to optimize the limited number
of soccer fields, thus it is extremely important
that you keep the games on time.
Delays due to injury, weather or other reason
you deem appropriate can be made up by adding
time at the end of the game.
BOTTOM LINE: TRY KEEP ALL GAMES ON
SCHEDULE.
13
Behavior On the Field




Be decisive in your decisions
Blow your whistle loud
Signal your calls correctly
Be consistent in your calls
14
Fouls





Call fouls based on the age group and
level of play
Hand balls need to appear to be
deliberate, not accidental
IDF awarded to attacking team if a
teammate of the goalie passes back to
goalie and they pick it up
If a goalie touches the ball, it is
considered their ball and thus running into
the goalie or kicking it out of their hands.
Be careful in the last few minutes of a
close game with your calls
15
Yellow Cards


When a player is issued a YELLOW
CARD the player must be substituted
to allow for a “cool down” period
Player may re-enter game at the
next opportunity the team can
substitute
16
Red Cards


If you issue a RED CARD, be sure to
report the incident via e-mail to your
Assignor and the SABR Director of
Referees.
Include in your report the following
information:
• Date
• Team Gender, Age Group and Team Name
(e.g., GU14 Revolution)
• First and Last Name of the Player, Coach or
Spectator
• Nature of the Misconduct or Red Card
17
Non FIFA Rules



Many are covered in
your SABR Handbook
Read the Handbook
and print pages from
the SABR Web Site –
“Referee’s Corner”
Keep this information
handy as a guide

Location for Taking Penalty Kicks




Should be marked
Full size field – 12 yards from the goal
Smaller fields – halfway between the goal
area and the penalty area lines
If the goal area is not marked, pace off
the penalty area and place ball 2/3s the
number of paces. For example:
• Penalty area = 12 paces
• Penalty mark = 8 paces
20
Substitutes


A team CAN substitute on their OWN throw in, NOT
on the opponent’s throw in.
All teams MAY substitute:
•
•
•
•
•
•


On either team's goal kick,
After a goal,
After a half
After you stop the game due to injury (either team)
Water breaks
After the regular time of the game has expired if an
overtime period is provided.
Players must be ready at the halfway line – please
explain this to the coaches
You may use discretion to not allow a substitution
if the substitute is not ready to come onto the field
21

22
Injuries



injured player on the field
If a player is injured and cannot return, email the Director of Referees:
• Date
• Team Gender, Age Group and Team Name
(e.g., GU14 Revolution)
• First and Last Name of the Player
• Nature of the Injury
23
Other Considerations

Be sure to enforce the Technical Area with
the coaches at the beginning
• ~10 yards on either side of the centerline
• ~ 1 yard behind the touch line



Ask the coaches or SABR Administrators
to ask their spectators to sit on the
opposite side of the field
Do Not engage with the spectators
Ask the coaches or SABR Administrators
to help you manage the spectators
24
Lightning Safety
1. Use the “30-30 Rule” and Common Sense
• If you see lighting, check your watch
• If thunder occurs before 30 seconds, you need to have
everyone get off the field and into a sheltered area
• Wait 30 minutes following the same 30 second rule
before allowing players coaches and spectators back
onto the field
2. Most fields have lighting detectors (except
FAU/Henderson)
• When you hear the detector sound, have everyone get
off the field
• Safe to return when you hear 3 short blasts
NOTE: LIGHTING DECTECTORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN
TO FAIL – IF IN DOUBT REFER TO NO. 1
25
Referees Need to Set the Tone for
the Games




CONSISTENTLY enforce the “Rules of
the Game”, “Non-FIFA Rules”, and
“Other Considerations”
Establish themselves with the
coaches, players and spectators as
“In Charge”
Be decisive and blow your whistle
loud so everyone can hear it
Have fun and let the players play!
