Thoughts on this please ! Proposed new rules in youth grass roots football
Silent sidelines rule
Spectators are encouraged to applaud both teams (e.g.. clap when a goal is scored) but must not shot or call out. [Law 1]
-Slide tackle rule
On medical advice, no slide tackles are allowed. A free kick will be given in every instance. [Law 12]
-Blue card rule
A blue card is shown for any cautionable offence resulting in a 2 minute Sin Bin (5 minutes at 9v9). [Law 12].
-Respect marks rule
After every match, referees will marks to players, coaches and spectators from both teams. [Law 12]
-Retreat line rule
When goalkeeper has possession, opposition must retreat to halfway. Keeper must pass to own player in own half. [Law 16]
-Pass back rule
Because goalkeepers need to practice their footwork, they cannot pick up the ball from a pass back. [Law 12]
-No instructions rule
Coaches may ask questions that prompt players to think for themselves but must not shout instructions during matches. [Law 1]
-Equal playing time rule
All squad members must receive equal playing time with at least 50% per player for each game. [Law 3]
-All positions rule
All squad members must be given regular experience playing in all positions, including goalkeeper. [Law 3]
-Mixed teams rule
To maximise competition, clubs must field teams of similar ability - ie. not ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams. [Law 3]
-Power play rule
If any team goes 4 goals ahead, the other team may field an extra player until the goal difference is reduced to 3 goals. [Law 3]
-Equal numbers rule
If a team has too few players, the other must lend them willing subs or withdraw players to make hungers even. [Law 3]
The FA introduced their ‘Respect’ campaign almost a decade ago in 2008 with the message ‘good behaviour makes for a great game’.
