Kicks From The Penalty mark 9/15/2010

RE: Under 17

Dave of DM, IA US asks...

Can you give some score keeping tips when determining the winner by KFTPM?

For example, do you record the # of each player who takes a turn kicking etc.?

Also do you make a signal after a goal in this situation.
I always point to the center circle after a normal goal because that's where the restart will be.
But since there really isn't a restart in KFTPM, what do you do?

Any tips are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Hi Dave
In KFTPM the referee should keep a record of the number of every player that takes a penalty. In addition a record of whether a goal is scored or not should also be kept.
As regards indicating that a goal has been scored that is not necessary unless it is uncertain such as a hairline goal.

The worst referee error on kicks from the mark is letting any player kick a second time before every other eligible player has kicked once. Record the number of each kicker!

Most goals are obvious. But, discuss with your assistant referee how you want a signal for good goal when the ball goals in/out. Flag? Verbal confirmation? Good communication with the AR lets you confirm the goal. This is likely the only time a referee signal (indicating a good goal) is necessary.
