Question Number: 17262

League Specific 10/12/2007

RE: competative, high schoo. High School

ROBERT HICKMAN of fairmont, wv USA asks...

In West Virginia, is there such a thing as a "soft red card"? This is a red card where the kid is not required to sit out the following contest.

Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol

"Soft" red cards in HS games mean the player being disqualified from the game may be replaced by a substitute. Your state may or may not have a policy on a suspension following a soft red. I'm asking a colleague.

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

NFHS recommends the disqualified player suffer a ban from the next league match. Implementation of this ban is at the discretion of the state association and/or the league. It is not the policy it is in the rest of the world of Football.

Regards,
