The main role of the instructing referee is to control
the game and make sure it runs freely.
SSF Instructing referees aim to instruct and correct
the players on how to behave and what the rules
are. The referee may instruct the players without
stopping the game.
Discourage players from permanently standing in
blatant offside positions.

Under 6 & 7 Rules
• The ball – Size 3
• Number of players – 4 v 4. A maximum of 4 players
on the field from each team at any time. Players may
be interchanged at any time.
• No goalkeepers.
• No offside.
• Game Duration – 2 x 15 minute halves. (MAX 5 min
half time break).
Under 6 & 7 Rules
• Start of play & Restart after a goal – A pass forward
to a team mate from the middle of the half way line.
All players must be in their own half of the field of
play. Opponents must be at least 5m. from the ball
until it is in play. The ball must be touched by a team
mate before a goal can be scored.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
• Restart after ball goes out over touchline, (sidelines).

No throw-in but a kick in from behind the side-line.
Use a ready, set, go! countdown to ensure quick play –
defenders must be at least 5 metres away from the ball.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
 Restart after the ball crosses the goal line, (back
line):

There is no corner kick. Regardless of which
team touched the ball last, a player from the team
whose goal line the ball has crossed will place the
ball anywhere along the goal line, except in the goal
mouth, and pass or dribble the ball into play.
Opponents must retreat to the halfway line and can
move once the ball is in play. The ball must touch a
team mate before a goal can be scored.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
• Ball in and out of play – The ball is out of play when it
has wholly crossed the goal line, (back line), or the touch
line, (side line), whether on the ground or in the air or,
when play has been stopped by the game leader.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
• All free kicks in Under 6 & Under 7 are indirect free
kicks – there are no penalties or direct free kicks.
• An Indirect free kick is where a goal can be scored
only if the ball touches another player before it
enters the goal.
• If the ball is kicked directly into the goal without
having first touched another player it is a no goal.
The restart is the same as if the ball had crossed
anywhere else along the goal line.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
 A free kick awarded to the attacking team is taken
from the spot but not closer than 5m from the goal.
 A free kick awarded to the defending team is taken
from the spot but not closer than 5m from the goal
line.
Under 6 & 7 Rules cont’d
 Try to limit giving free kicks. Most acts of handball or fouls
and misconduct at this level are caused by a lack of
coordination, with no intent. In this case try and give the
advantage to the attacking team and continue play. If you
decide a deliberate or serious act of handball, foul or
misconduct has occurred, explain to the child they have
done the wrong thing and that they should not do this again.
 Please consider that if a child picks up the ball during play,
with the playing fields being so close, they may have thought
that the whistle they heard was on their field. Do not suggest
this to the child but simply ask them why they picked up the
ball. If you are satisfied that it was not deliberate then
restart play with a drop ball.

What is the most important role you have being an
SSF referee?
The Most Important Thing Is….
BLOW
THE WHISTLE
LOUDLY
Whistles and Watches
• You will be issued with a whistle at the start of the
season. You will have a referees box at the ground.
• We have a sponsor who will be issuing you a shirt
that MUST be worn on match day.
• It is your responsibility to bring it every week to
games. We control game times by a hooter but a
watch is handy if you are doing an older team .
• You are welcome to purchase your own whistle if
you wish.
SSF Fields
• Fields will be known coded according to a letter.
Website Allocations
• Again this year, your refereeing allocations will be e-
mailed to you via Mark W.
• It is your responsibility to check if you are refereeing –
you will be emailed.
• If you cannot make it to your games you must contact
Mark W ASAP.
• I will do my best to ensure everyone gets a fair amount
of games – however, some referees playing
commitments clash more than others, which means you
may not get as many games.

Question Time
• Is there anything you’re not sure of?
And finally…………
• It is not unusual for referees, young and old, to feel nervous when they
go onto the field. One of the best ways to reduce the nerves and build
your confidence is to read and understand all the rules. And when you
know them all, read them again. Remember! To play a game we must
have a referee.
• But preferably one that is not so nervous and stays a bit longer.
• Please remember. We are only human and you will make mistakes, we
all do. If you realise you have made a mistake during a game and play
has not restarted, you may change your decision. Referees at all levels
are allowed to do this.
• If you have any questions or problems during a game come and see me
at half time or at the end of the game. If I can’t give you an answer
straight away, I will find out and get back to you. At anytime throughout
the year please don’t hesitate to contact me regarding any refereeing
issue you may have.
