1. Managing the Game

2. What Does It Mean To You It’s more than the use of “common sense.” It’s about: Interpretation of the Laws in a “practical” manner The referee as a “facilitator” of the game Feeling & Reading the game It requires action Functional effort by match officials

3. Expectations What is expected by Clubs, players and spectators? Team Work Consistency Avoid Confusion

4. Use of the Whistle Mandatory to stop play? For a free kick or penalty kick If a match is suspended or abandoned When a period of play has ended due to the expiration of time

5. Mandatory: for Restarts Start play (1 st, 2 nd half) and after a goal Ceremonial free kicks Penalty kick After the issuance of a or Injury Substitution Use of the Whistle

6. Going to the Spot of the Foul Fouls Go if needed Not mandatory Do not interfere with the restart Penalty Kick Not mandatory to go to the penalty mark Do not get surrounded by players at the penalty mark Look for a neutral location where you can manage the game and players

7. Get the Correct Distance Use appropriate signals once the distance has been requested Face the danger zone when setting the wall Restart as quickly as possible Wall Management
