Soccer Rules and Regulations

Soccer rules and regulations are simple. A player cannot intentionally touch the ball with his or her hands or arms unless he/she is the goalie. Other rules include those that govern the field of play, the ball, and the number of players.

Asked by Wiki User

You will not miss a game for having only got one yellow card in a match. In some competitions if you get a number of yellow cards over a series of matches, you will miss a game. There are different rules about that.

When a player is offside where is the freekick taken?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Where the offside positioned player was at the moment their team-mate last touched the ball.

If that spot is within the opponent's goal area, then the ball is brought straight out along a line perpendicular to the goal line to the "top" of the goal area (a.k.a. 6 yard line).

A red card in soccer means the team has to play short the game and in the next game?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A red card in soccer symbolizes the ejection of a misbehaving player during a match. The reason it was made red was like in stop light, red is an overall symbol to tell you that you can go no further, and why it makes a player be taken out of a game is if the player is misbehaving they must be removed from the game before more fouls, or injuries occur. A red card is strictly for the safety and sanity of the game, nothing more.

A yellow card is shown to a player or substitute who is being cautioned and is basically a formal warning. If a player or substitute is cautioned twice in the same match, they are sent off which is indicated by showing them a red card.

How are ties broken in world cup soccer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In some matches they are not broken, as a tie is allowed. For games that have to have a winner, the first thing is extra time. That is two periods of fifteen minutes. If it is still level after that, it goes penalties. Each team takes five penalties. If they are still level then, it goes to sudden death, with each team taking one penalty each until one team scores and the other doesn't.

If you cover your face in soccer to block the ball is that a foul?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Obstruction" is an outdated term and is no longer used in the Laws of the Game. The term currently used is "impedes the progress of an opponent."

If a player is, in the opinion of the referee, within a reasonable playing distance of the ball and chooses to shield the ball instead, then impeding is not applicable. Even if the ball is not within playing distance, each player has a right to the space they already occupy. So if I move into your path I am impeding, but if you try and run through me it is not.

The consequence for impeding the progress of an opponent is a restart with an indirect free kick for the opposing team. This is true even if it occurred within the penalty area! An indirect free kick will not be upgraded to a penalty kick.

What is the name of the referee that stands in the middle of the field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The referee that stands in the middle of the field is the referee who is the final authority for that game. All decisions made by this referee are final, regardless of what is done or said by any other player, coach, spectator, or assistant referee. Generally, this position is referred to as the "center referee," or some other similar nomenclature. I have heard "head referee," "center official," "middle referee," or "the dude in the center of the field."

A kick that follows a foul?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the NFL, the team receiving a punt has the opportunity to kick a field goal on the play immediately after a fair catch, even if there is no time remaining on the clock.

The team attempting the free kick must either drop kick the ball or have a player holding the ball like on a 'regular' field goal attempt. A kicking tee is not allowed. The defensive team must be positioned a minimum of 10 yards from the line of scrimmage at the time of the kick. If the kicked ball goes through the uprights, it is considered a field goal and three points are awarded to the kicking team. If the attempt is no good, the defensive team is awarded the ball at the spot of the kick unless the defensive team attempts to return the kick.

The free kick after fair catch play is rarely seen and is always done at the end of a half.

There is no free kick after fair catch rule in college ball.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is usually a bit of jostling during the set up for a corner kick, but if it's a bit too rough, the referee can verbally warn the players. If there is a blatant shove that the referee deems is a foul, the referee should blow his whistle and either caution (yellow card) the offending player or, if it is serious enough and violent enough, send off (red card) the offending player. (Naturally if it's a second caution, a send off will be issued.) After that issue is dealt with, the corner kick will be taken. The ball was not in play at the time of the foul. It will be put back in play the way it was going to be before the violation of the Laws took place. The violation of Law 12, the pushing, was dealt with in a manner consistent with the opinion of the referee. The corner is taken. Law 9 dealing with the ball being in or out of play (it was out of play) subordinates Law 12 as far as what happens regarding the resumption of play in this situation.

How many people are on a soccer team?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A normal squad has eleven field players including the goalkeeper. During a game, the team may nominate up to seven substitutes (though only three may be used during the game), bringing the total to eighteen. The team may have more than this, including reserve players, practice squads, trainers, coaches, doctors, public relations officers, and so on, each of which are part of the team even if they aren't actual players.

There is no limit imposed by any rule of soccer, except that in regular adult FIFA-sanctioned or affiliated matches, a team must field at least seven players in order to play, no more than eighteen players are eligible to compete in any given match, and no more than fourteen different players may actually take the field during the match.

Additionally, small-sided youth soccer, indoor soccer, and numerous other variations of the game produce their own total numbers of team members. For example, U6 small-sided soccer is often played 3-on-3 with no goalkeepers on a field roughly the size of an average living room, and usually have one coach and no more than three nominated substitutes (because youth organizations often insist that each player get at least 50% playing time).

Soccer- a kick that follows a foul?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In precise usage, a foul is one of the direct free kick offenses that is performed by a player, against an opponent, on the field, and during active play.

Indirect free kick offenses are not referred to as fouls. Deliberate handling, a direct free kick offense, is also not usually referred to as a foul since it is not against an opponent.

What is the off side in rugby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Offside is a very difficult rule in rugby union as it is changing constantly in play and both sets of players (Team in possession and the team defending) can be offside.

To make it easier, i will use examples (during which Team 1 will always be in possession and Team 2 will be defending). Also, during all of this, the player is only offside if the player is active (ie. interfering in any way with any player or the ball)

1st, a player from team1 is offside is he is in front of the ball. The only exception to this rule is if the team1 kicks the ball and that player retreats. If he procedes to chase the ball he is offside. As soon as the kicker is in front of him, he is back onside. A player from team2 cannot be offside if the ball is in open play.

2nd, If a ruck or maul forms or it is a scrum, a player from team2 is offside is he is further forward that than the ruck, maul or scrum. A player from team 1 is offside is he is further forward that the ball (but only if he is not part of the ruck, maul or scrum).

3rd In the case of a throw-in, an imaginary line goes across the pitch from where the throw is taken from. All players in the line out must be 1m away from that line, on there own side and cannot cross that line until one team has the ball secured (a lineout usually has 7 players per team and that includes the scrum half who stands just beside the line out to receive the ball if whoever catches the ball decides to pass the ball out of the lineout). Any player who is not part of the lineout must be 10 metres away and cannot interfere with play until the ball has been secured and has passed out of the lineout.

Finally, an execption to a player on team1 if the ball is kicked from a restart. If the player is in front of the kicker but still inside the deadball area, when the ball is kicked, then he is still onside.

Is deliberate handling a direct or indirect free kick offense?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An offside offense is punished with an indirect free kick for the opposing team.

Note that the free kick is awarded for the actual offense of offside, not just for being in an offside position--being in an offside position while not participating in play or gaining an advantage is not an offense and doesn't result in any free kick.

What happens when a player from his own team passes the ball back to his own goalie and the goalie picks it up in the box?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unlike deliberate handling, which is a direct free kick offense, passing with the feet to his own goal keeper and having the keeper pick it up inside the penalty area would result in an indirect free kick.

What are the line labels a soccer field has?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The soccer field is 50 yds. wide and 100 yds. long. The sideline is 100 yds. The endline or goalline is 50 yds. The halfway line is 50 yds. the goal box is 6yds. away from the goal. The penalty box is 18 yds. away from the goal.

What is the purpose of the 10 yard box in the soccer field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The goal area is 6 yards deep and 20 yards wide.

1. During the taking of a goal kick, the ball may be placed anywhere in this area.

2. During the taking of any free kick (direct or indirect), the ball is moved away from the goal line along a line perpendicular to the goal line to the top of this area; exactly 6 yards out. This is to prevent, for example, an indirect free kick 6 inches from the goal line. It would also give some running room for a defensive free kick going out.
