For the purposes of determining if a player is offside, the referee should consider the position of the player`s head, body and feet but not the position of the arms.

While recording a players number prior to cautioning for a reckless foul the offending player argues with you and you decide this is dissent. As the referee you should:

The Red team has just scored a goal, resulting in the score now being tied. With not much time remaining, a Red forward runs into the goal to retrieve the ball and bring it back for the kick-off restart as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this results in a tussle with the Blue goalkeeper who was also in the process of picking up the ball. The referee decides to caution the Red player. Given that the Red player was trying to restart play quickly, the caution must be reported as unsporting behavior rather than delaying the restart of play.

After a goal has been scored but before play restarts, the referee notices that there was an extra player on the field of play when the goal was scored. Select the best answer below. The extra person interfered with play.

At the taking of a penalty kick, the kicker approached the ball to kick it but slipped and fell on the wet grass. He barely managed to kick the ball forward. Immediately after this, an alert teammate, who had been standing just outside the penalty arc. ran up and kicked the ball into the goal. As the referee, you should restart play with: The kicker touches the ball only once, it clearly moves forward, and the teammate waits until it is in play before entering.

The referee in the play below should not call offside because the ball deflects off the goal post.

A player taking a throw-in throws the ball directly toward his/her own goal. The goalkeeper tries to handle the ball but is not able to touch it and the ball enters the goal without any other player touching it. Play should be restarted with a:

An attacking player tackles a defending player in a careless manner. For this, the referee should: The tackle neither stops a promising attack nor denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.

When a player persistently infringes on the Laws of the Game, the referee should:

In the final game of a tournament the score is tied 0 - 0 after the overtime periods. One team had 2 players sent off during the first half and a third player sent off during the second overtime period. How many players from each team can participate in the kicks from the penalty mark?

An attacking player takes a shot on goal. The ball hits the goal post and rebounds to a teammate who was in an offside position on the far side of the field at the taking of the shot. The teammate then plays the ball.

While the ball is in play, a player spits at a teammate on the field outside the offender`s own penalty area. What is the restart?

A defender deliberately kicks the ball towards her goalkeeper. Inside the penalty area, the goalkeeper immediately uses her hands to punch it over the crossbar. What is the restart?

At the taking of a penalty kick, a teammate of the kicker entered the penalty area after the sign had been given but before the kick was taken. As the referee you should:

A championship game is still tied after the overtime periods and has gone into kicks from the penalty mark to determine the winner. While waiting for their turn to kick, two players from the same team are sent off immediately after the first kick is taken. The other team must reduce their number of players to account for the two opposing players that were sent off.

After the signal for a penalty kick, the kicker illegally feints to kick after completing the run-up. The referee allows the kick to be taken and it goes over the crossbar. What is the restart?

A player ran between an opponent and the ball so as to slow down the opponent rather than trying to play the ball. The ball was not within playing distance and no contact was made between the player and the opponent. You should restart play with a:

An attacking player who is in an offside position, intercepts a pass from a defender intended for that defender`s goalkeeper. The defender deliberately played the ball with an opportunity to control it; this was not a save.

At the taking of a corner kick, opposing players must be at least 10 yards from:

Defender X leaves the field of play in an attempt to put player A into an offside position. Player B passes the ball to player A, who heads the ball, past the goalkeeper GK, into the net.

The rules of the competition do not regulate the minimum number of players for a game to be considered valid. While play is going on, a player deliberately leaves the field of play, leaving his/her team with fewer than 7 players. The referee is obligated to stop the match and the advantage clause may not be applied.

There is a foul that is not seen by the referee. Before signaling for the foul, the lead AR should determine whether the referee would have applied advantage and allowed play to continue if the referee had seen it.

A defender (Not the Goalkeeper) while in his own penalty area purposely uses his hands to prevent the scoring of a goal. The ball is deflected over the crossbar. You should restart play with a:

The goalkeeper punts the ball hard. After it leaves the penalty area, it rebounds off the referee and is going into the goalkeeper`s goal. In a desperate attempt to stop the ball from going into the goal, the goalkeeper dives, touches the ball, but is unable to stop the ball from entering the net. The referee should: No promising attack begins and possession does not change as a result of the referee contact. The goalkeeper touches the ball before it enters the goal.

A player injures himself/herself while taking a shot on goal. As the ball is being retrieved, the player is being treated off the field. Just before the ensuing goal kick can be taken, the player is ready to return to the field. The referee may allow the player to return before the goal kick is taken. The player left voluntarily; no on-field medical assessment was requested and treatment did not delay the restart.

A player with an obvious goal scoring opportunity advances with the ball into the opponent`s penalty area. A defensive player throws one of his shoes at the ball. The ball is deflected wide of the goal. Play should be restarted with a:

In the diagram below, the yellow player near the corner flag (Top of picture) is in an offside position.

A player attempted to punch an opponent, but missed. You should restart the game with a: The attempt occurs on the field outside the offender`s own penalty area, while the ball is in play.

With respect to the interpretation and application of Law 11, the concept of "interfering with play" includes the action when an attacking player in an offside position is acting to avoid contact with the ball and is successful in avoiding the contact.

You have awarded a corner kick. Before the kick can be taken, time runs out for the first half. What action should you take?

Blue #10 commits a reckless challenge but the referee applies advantage and allows play to continue. A minute later, the ball leaves the field for a throw-in by the red team. Red #7 quickly gathers the ball and, seeing a possible goal scoring opportunity, appears eager to perform the throw-in.

A player taking a throw-in throws the ball directly toward his/her own goal. The goalkeeper handles the ball briefly in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the ball from entering the goal. Play should be restarted with a:

You must decide that the goal stands and restart play with the goal kick.

A goalkeeper, standing in his/her own penalty area, struck an opponent, who was outside the penalty area, by deliberately throwing the ball at him/her. You should restart play with:
