Kicks from the Penalty Mark Procedure to Determine a Winner

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:47:46 -0800

Start: 01/01/2005 - 1:00am

The following describes the FIFA rules to determine the winner using "Kicks From The Penalty Mark".

The referee chooses the goal at which the kicks will be taken and keeps a record of the kicks being taken.
The referee tosses a coin and the team whose captain wins the toss decides whether to take the first kick.
Subject to the conditions explained below, both teams take five kicks. The kicks are taken alternately by the teams.
If, before both teams have taken five kicks, one has scored more goals than the other could score, even if it were to complete its five kicks, no more kicks are taken.

Hand-Ball

Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:28 -0800

Start: 12/31/1969 - 5:00pm

A hand-ball must be deliberate. Just because the ball bounces into a hand or arm does not mean it's a hand-ball. If a player is protecting themselves and the ball hits their hand, the intent is to protect and not to play the ball with their hands, then do not call a hand-ball. If they move their hands to knock the ball down, then it is a hand-ball. Don't let coaches or players influence your call. Look at where the player's hands are when they strike the ball, are they in a normal running position or are they raised. If they are in a normal position, then no hand-ball. If they are raised, then possible hand-ball, depending on if they hit the ball or if the ball hits them.

Division 6 Restarts

Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:28 -0800

Start: 12/31/1969 - 5:00pm

If you are reffing division 6 you need to make sure you are making the players play the game correctly on re-starts. If they make an improper throw in correct it but let them re-take it. Goal kicks and corner kicks should be taken correctly. You are not only referees, but coaches. If they don't do it right, please correct it. Don't let things slide just because it's division 6.

Tue, 01 Feb 2005 00:00:28 -0800

Start: 12/31/1969 - 5:00pm

If a player deliberately kicks the ball back to the keeper it is an in-direct free kick from where the keeper picks up the ball. Not a penalty kick. It must be deliberate and it must be kicked back by a team mate.
