  1. Sunday League Skills for Refereeing Seminar 2011

  2. Me and Footy…

  3. Player • Played seriously from age 15 – 19. • Various degrees of social grade on and off ever since. • Playing in WSSL since 2001.

  4. Referee • Refereeing since 2004 • Awarded NZ Badge - 2006 • NZFC (now ASB Premiership) - 2005/06, 2006/07, 2008/09 • Invited to Promising and Elite Referee Clinic - 2007. • Viewed for FIFA candidacy - 2007.

  5. Why Referee?

  6. I first started due to: • Time constraints • Frustration at lack of referees at lower grades of football • Always wanted to give it a go

  7. Kept at it because: • Enjoyment • Challenge • Service

  8. Secrets to Successful Refereeing • Education • Dedication • Application

  9. Education • Knowledge is power. • That power is confidence • Laws of the Game. • There is no substitute for knowing • Spirit of the Laws. • The Law is an Ass, you are a human being

  10. Dedication • If you like doing it, do it, if you don’t, don’t. • Commitment - irrespective of level.

  11. Application • Knowledge is useless if it cannot be applied. Know the theory - know how to put it into practice Keep focused. Apply yourself.

  12. The Laws need to be applied:

  13. Fairly

  14. Fairly Consistently

  15. Fairly Consistently And with heaps of…

  16. Fairly Consistently And with heaps of… Common Sense

  17. WSSL Reffing/Casual reffing is no different Make sure you know your stuff, and that you want to be there. Dedicate yourself to the task for the whole game, or half, that you are reffing. Apply what you know with common sense: Be Fair Be Consistent Ensure Player Safety

  18. Always remember: “You are a human being, refereeing other human beings”

  19. Refereeing the Waikato Sunday League

  20. FIFA InternationalNational affiliates I.e. NZFLocal affiliates I.e. AFF, WaiBopVarious offshoots/development leagues - FIFA Laws- Competition Ruleswhich complement the Laws

  21. WSSL • non-affiliated- Independent Competition Rules which are based around FIFA Laws- No protection under FIFA or its subsidiary affiliations- Only recourse is through the Competition itself • Know the Comp rules • Query if unsure or if any problems

  22. Concerned? • The best defense against anything negative occurring to you whilst involved in any league, is to know the rules of the competition and to familiarize yourself with its processes. • For an overview of WSSL rules and WSSL Committee processes go to http://wssl.yolasite.com and follow the appropriate links. • If you have any concerns or queries, approach a Committee member through the appropriate channels. The best way to make a system robust is to challenge it by going through its processes.

  23. Mr In-between • WSSL Rules - a bob each way • Social football = grey area • “Social” = Participation over Perfection

  24. The “FIFA” Referee • Referee has absolute power • “if, in the opinion of the referee…” • The referee’s opinion is final • This is essential due to all the dissenting opinions on and off the field • The referee must be unbiased/non-parrtisan

  25. The WSSL Referee • Doesn’t need to follow the Laws so rigidly • the fields aren’t always FIFA standard • The ball, players’ equipment are dubious STILL: • His/her opinion is the most important • Must be unbiased/non-partisan - put friendship on hold for a couple of hours

  26. The Laws of the Game • Read them • Familiarize yourself with them • Memorize only the important ones

  27. Nuts and Bolts

  28. If you are asked to referee a Sunday League match first ask yourself:

  29. If you are asked to referee a Sunday League match first ask yourself: Do I know the rules/laws?

  30. If you are asked to referee a Sunday League match first ask yourself: Do I know the rules/laws? Am I in the right frame of mind?

  31. If you are asked to referee a Sunday League match first ask yourself: Do I know the rules/laws? Am I in the right frame of mind? Is the right procedure being followed in regards appointing ref to this game?

  32. If you are asked to referee a Sunday League match first ask yourself: Do I know the rules/laws? Am I in the right frame of mind? Is the right procedure being followed in regards appointing ref to this game? Before you proceed the answer to all these questions has to be: YES.

  33. Kick-Off • Meet the captains. • Introduce yourself. • Do they want a toss?

  34. - Winner decides direction - Losing captains’ team takes kick off first half.- or do they?

  35. Before you blow the whistle: • Are both teams ready? • Are all players in their own halves? • Subsequent kick-offs, just players in their own half important.

  36. Other formal parts in The Game

  37. Free Kicks 2 Types: • Direct • Indirect

  38. An offence punishable by DFK within Penalty area

  39. An offence punishable by DFK within Penalty area = Penalty Kick

  40. 10 Yards • Interception • intercepting a free-kick is allowed • Prevention - preventing a free-kick from being taken is not allowed

  41. Key things to look for are: • Movement of opposing players away from the ball If they’re just standing there, they are preventing • Is the free kick able to be taken/effected? If opposition players are standing around the ball but not stopping the free kick, play on

  42. The Wall

  43. Procedure for Free Kicks – The “Ceremony” • Establish the type of free kick: DFK, IFK • Identify the position of the Free Kick • Identify kick-taker – “On my whistle” • Measure out 10 Yards • Once you’ve set up the wall and are in position: Blow the Whistle

  44. Helpful hints • Good positioning for Free Kicks • Arm raised for IFK • The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves. • Defending team can not move till ball is kicked • - You do not have to wait for the players to be “ready” (though it is courteous and saves hassle) • - Try to keep an eye on the position of the ball as you measure out the 10-yards • - Do not touch players. Ask them to walk back with you.

  45. Other considerations: • Not going to go through all the crazy permutations but… • Defending team cannot score own goal from a free kick. • Defending team cannot score own goal from a goal kick, unless ball somehow enters play and then comes back into penalty area etc.

  46. Procedure for Penalty Kick • Identify the kicker and publicise it • Say that play will not restart until you blow your whistle • Have the kicker place the ball on the spot to your satisfaction • Ensure the GK stays on his goal line • Ensure uninvolved players are outside the 10-yard arc (the “D”) and behind the ball • Stand on the Goal line to judge goal scored and GK movement • When you feel you are ready, blow the whistle • The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves

  47. NOTES: • If defending player/s encroach or GK comes off his line, kick is retaken unless goal is scored. • If kicker’s team mate/s encroach, IFK is awarded to defending team, taken from Penalty spot. • Don’t be pedantic

  48. Fouls and Misconduct Identifying Fouls

  49. Close • within 15 - 20 yards of the ball • diagonal • keep left – loop - let players through • touchline • offside line • If you see it, you know it.

  50. Confident • Make a decision and stick with it. • Laws – Seminar – Close – No problem • A Good Decision = The Correct Decision
