Regional Referee Training
Introduction
There are more than 500,000 children playing AYSO soccer and each one of those children has a right to a safe, fun, fair and positive environment for experiencing the benefits of youth sports.
Why AYSO?
The Vision of AYSO is to provide world class youth soccer programs
that enrich children’s lives.
What makes AYSO unique?
The philosophy of the organization is to educate and develop young people by encouraging their interest and participation in soccer through our six philosophies:
Everyone Plays®
Our goal is for kids to play soccer – so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least half of every game.
Everyone Plays®
This includes our VIP -Very Important Players
Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly as possible – because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.
Open Registration
Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing.
Positive Coaching
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players.
P I EOSITIVENSTRUCTIONALNCOURAGING
Good Sportsmanship
• We strive to create a safe, fair, fun and positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
Good Sportsmanship
AYSO’s Kids Zone program is one of the first of its kind to promote good
sportsmanship and appropriate sideline behavior. Every AYSO venue is a Kids Zone!
Player Development
We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as a member of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
Player Development
AYSO provides a number of programs that support player development including EXTRA and AYSO Soccer Camps.

History of the Game
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.
Philosophy of Refereeing
• Younger Games:More a friendly guide than policeman.
• Give younger players a second chance.• No public humiliation.

Check For Learning
During the safety inspection of the players, the referee notices that a player is wearing earrings. She explains that she had her ears pierced the previous day and if she removes the earrings the holes will close.
What should the referee do?
The referee should explain to the player that earrings are not permitted; if she wishes to play, she must remove them. The referee may choose to involve the coach.
Check For Learning
In a U-8 game, the ball offered by the home team is a size 4 but otherwise acceptable.
What should the referee do?
Point out to the team that provided the ball that it is the wrong size and ask for a size 3 ball. If the team cannot provide one, ask the other team for one. If no size 3 ball is available, play the match with a size 4 ball.
Check For Learning
During the field inspection, the referee notices that a goal is being held in place by two bricks placed on the back of the structure.
What should the referee do?
Bricks resting on the goal structure are not sufficient to anchor it securely. The referee should inform the coaches that the goals need to be securely anchored before the match can start.

Fouls and Misconduct
OBJECTIVES
• Explain the two categories of fouls• Cover fouls that occur in younger players’ games• Introduce the concept of Misconduct
A Foul is an unsafe or unfair act
• Committed by a player• Against an opponent• On the field of play• While the ball is in play
All four elements must exist for the incident to be a foul.
Fouls are categorized into two types:
• Direct Free Kick fouls (DFK)• Indirect Free Kick fouls (IFK)
These categories are named for the way
play is restarted
Fouls and Misconduct
There are 10 DFK Fouls:7 “CREX” fouls
– Careless, Reckless, or used Excessive Force
3 others– The offense is always a foul
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)
1. Strikes an opponent2. Kicks an opponent3. Trips an opponent
Even the attempt to commit any of these
three actions is a foul.
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)1. Striking or attempting
to strike an opponent

Kicking or attempting to kick an opponent
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)3. Tripping or attempting

Foul Recognition
Why do tripping and kicking happen?
Because players are trying to tackle the ball
Tackling is when a player takes the ball away from an opponent by use of his feet or lower leg.
They must contact the ball first.
(Not to be confused with a “tackle” in American Football.)
Fair Tackles
Slide Tackles
Not a Foul!
Tackler makes contact with ball first, player trips over ball or legs
near ground
Fair Tackles
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)4. Tackles an opponent

More on that and Tackles in a moment.)
A common example of an unfair tackle would be making contact with the opponent before touching the ball

Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)5. Jumps at an opponent
Jumps at (into) an opponent
Direct Free Kick Fouls (DFK)6. Charging an opponent

• Allow players to protect their faces.
• “Hand” runs the full length of the arm.

OFFSIDE
Why do we need an Offside Law?
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.
OFFSIDE
Elements of the offside infraction:
1. Position
2. Time of Judgment
3. Active Involvement
All three elements must be present or there cannot be an
infraction
OFFSIDE
OFFSIDE
Offside PositionA 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 the second
to last defender; and3. 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
Offside Position
It is not an offense for a player to be in an Offside Position.
BUT
His involvement in play may be restricted if a team-mate touches or plays the ball
OFFSIDE
Time of Judgment
Offside Position is judged at the momentthe ball touches or is played by a team-mate
OFFSIDE
Active Involvement
A player may be involved in active play by:
1. Interfering with play (playing the ball);2. Interfering with an opponent; or3. Gaining an advantage by being in that
position.
OFFSIDE
Once all three of these conditions have been met:POSITION
TIME OF JUDGMENTACTIVE INVOLVEMENTAn offside infraction has occurred
An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place the infringement occurred.
