1. Rules & Regulations within a team sport by Lewis Richards Team Sport: Football

2. 5 Basic Rules in Football 1. Fouling an opponent: Stopping an opponent illegally. Making contact with the opponent without touching the ball or being aggressive in a challenge. Example: Tripping up an opponent as they are running with a ball. 2. Offside: Passing to an attacker when he is in front of all the defender’s. 3. Handball: Purposefully touching the ball with your hand. 4. Goalkeeping area’s: The goalkeeper is not allowed to pick up the ball unless it is in his area. 5. Red & Yellow cards: Cards are given by the referee for bad fouls. Yellow is a warning card, Red means the player is taken off the pitch. Example: Wayne Rooney was given a red card for kicking out at his opponent. He was suspended for the next 2 games.

3. Assessing the rules Rule: Giving red cards for tackles that are not aggressive or dangerous. Example: Sometimes this rule is not fair. Sometimes a referee will make a mistake and not see the foul properly. The opponent often cheats by exaggerating the foul. I think that the rule is sometimes fair but referee’s can make mistakes. I would not change the rule but I would increase the number of referee’s to help them.
