Law 11 - Offside 5/1/2016

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, Virginia United States asks...

So this is sort of a hypothetical question but it's come close to happening a couple of times in matches I've watched so I'm curious. This video illustrates the 'hypothetical' question.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 5/1/2016

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, Virginia United States asks...

Two plays that sort of illustrate the concept of 'getting the ball doesn't mean that there was no foul'. Same game and crew.

The first play was called a foul. #11 black goes to tackle #48 white and gets the ball away before #48 tumbles ove...

Law 11 - Offside 4/30/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I think the link on your home page to the offside explanation seems accurate...although complex. Wish there were an easier way to describe it. Parents usually ask me to explain the offside rule after a game & there's no simple way.

As far a...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/30/2016

Chris of Gainesville, FL USA asks...

In an intramural soccer game, a free kick was taken towards the penalty area. An attacker felt as if he was pushed when he jumped for the ball, but no foul was called. The 'pushing' player then took the ball up the line, and the 'pushed' attacker pur...

Law 5 - The Referee 4/29/2016

Scott of ALTON, VA USA asks...

In various programs, I've noticed inconsistency in the number of officials managing the game. In rec AYSO, club / travel, middle school and high school, I've seen one referee only covering the entire field, two refs splitting the field and sharing du...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/29/2016

Brandon Olson of Ephraim, UT USA asks...

My son and the goalie approached the pass and reached the ball simultaneously. The ball didn't seem to ever be in possession by either, but a yellow card was given to my son as the Goalie flopped to the ground.
What are the rules for a player ...

Other 4/29/2016

Brad of Plymouth, Michigan United States asks...

My follow-up comment to the original question. I have a bit more leeway as a coach than a parent; I coach my son's (now U-13) team and have similarly encountered referees (often younger ones) who don't know the rules as well.

If I see gross...

Character, Attitude and Control 4/28/2016

Mike Green of Woodbridge, VA USA asks...

During a U11 competitive game a player tugged on a shirt at midfield disrupting an attack. There was no advantage, and I blew the foul then stopped play to issue a warning rather then caution the player. The coach of the fouled team objected that I s...
