Question Number: 26364

League Specific 5/20/2012

RE: Select Under 15

Laura ray of Grove city, Oh Us asks...

Is the a certain number of yellow cards that one player may receive in one season?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Laura
Competition rules set the sanction for accumulation of cautions/yellow cards.
For example in the UEFA Champions League a player that receives two cautions is suspended for one game. In the UK Premier league a player that accumulates 5 cautions is suspended for one game. If the player receives a further 5 cards before a certain date he is suspended for two games.
I suggest that you check this with the local competition organisers as to what the number of cards that results in a sanction.
There is no limit on the number of cautions that a player can receives except that two cautions in a one game means the player is dismissed and she must miss the next game.

Many leagues provide for additional sanctions when players accumulate yellow cards. You would need to check with your league to see if they do.
