Question Number: 15254Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/23/2007RE: 7 Under 14 alex of campbell, Ohio united states asks...if the plyer did a handball and he didn't move it, is that still handball! Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol We don't have handballs in soccer. Handball is another game entirely, played indoors in a small room similar to squash or racketball.
The offense is handles the ball deliberately. If that's what the ref saw the player do, that's what he calls.

I can see something like this: "Hey, I didn't see that" or "Oops" or "feet only guys". If it persists then a free kick for handles the ball deliberately might become necessary.
