Some referees are often criticized for issuing too many cautions.
Some others are criticized for not issuing often enough.
To be fair both criticisms at times may be correct, but probably not all the time.
![Page 5: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Much of the criticisms is based on the assumption that the referee always choose to either issue a caution, or choose not to do so.
This assumption is only partially valid.
![Page 6: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Most referees learn that the decision to caution in some cases is clear cut and relies on a particular act being observed without any other judgment factors having to be applied in making that decision.
These types of cautions can be described as “MANDATORY” cautions.
The mere observation of a particular act requires that the caution be administered.
![Page 7: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
However there are a number of instances where acts are supposed to be cautioned by the referee requires the referee to apply discretion in order to decide if the act meets the criteria described in the NFHS soccer rules book to merit a caution.
These can be described as “DISCRETIONARY” cautions.
Here the nature and intent of each act has to be determined as unfair and requiring the caution.
![Page 8: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Keep in mind that the two categories “MANDATORY” & “DISCRETIONARY” are not cited in the NFHS soccer rules book.
![Page 9: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
These can be described as “DISCRETIONARY” cautions. Here the nature and intent of each act has to be determined as unfair and requiring the caution.
![Page 10: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Even a casual reading of the NFHS soccer rules book quickly shows that there is a difference in judgment required of the referee between “MANADTORY” & “DISCRETIONARY” cautions when particular acts of misconduct are committed.
![Page 11: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If you as the referee in a soccer match are to make the correct decision you need to think about the issues and adopt a consistent approach to handling this behavior and match control responsibility you exercise.
![Page 12: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MANDATORY CAUTIONSMANDATORY CAUTIONS
Using the 2009-10 NFHS Soccer Rules Book as the basis for this list you can begin to identify the two groups of acts and perhaps be able to handle them more effective and consistent way in your future matches.
Rule Book examples of mandatory cautions follows.
![Page 13: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The head coach shall receive the first caution for illegally equipped player (R4-3,12-8-4).
This is a situation that is most often based on what you find in your pre-game player equipment inspection.
Of course on occasion you might not observe illegal equipment until sometime into the match.
The rule is specific about both required and illegal equipment.
![Page 14: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Entering or leaving the field of play without permission of an official (R12-8-1-A).
Such an act can be observed by any of the referee team.
The exception of course is through the normal course of play.
![Page 15: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Any incidental vulgar or profane language
(R12-8-1-D) Here the judgment is primarily on the
word incidental and the language must be heard to be punished.
![Page 16: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Any use of video or audio communication by players or other persons to assist in coaching during the match (R12-8-1-E).
Again this an act that can be both observed and heard.
The rule defines specific devices.
![Page 17: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Coaching outside the team area (R12-8-F-1) also indicated in (R1-5-3).
Coaches, bench personnel and team members shall be restricted to the team area.
This is another incident based on observation; are they outside the area?
![Page 18: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Holding a shirt, shorts, etc. (R12-8-1-F3). If seen it is to be penalized. This unfair act is becoming more and
more frequently observed in matches. Unless a clear advantage is observed , it
should be dealt with strictly.
![Page 19: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Encroachment (R12-8-1-F5). Ten yards is Ten yards. The successful referee must learn to
enforce this distance rigidly in order not to encourage unfair interference with play by the offending team.
![Page 20: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Use of tobacco products by participants (R12-8-1G).
This is one of the strict policies of NFHS for all interscholastic sports.
![Page 21: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When you consider that all of the previous act require a “mandatory” caution can be observed or heard by the referee.
Consistently enforcing and penalizing with the necessary caution should come more easily to the referee.
The more consistently enforced, the better the match control result.
![Page 22: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DISCRETIONARY CAUTIONSDISCRETIONARY CAUTIONS
Now we consider the “discretionary” cautions.
The next acts requiring caution do involve applying some degree of judgment by the referee determining that they meet the intended criteria of misconduct specified in the rules.
![Page 23: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In each of these cases, if your match control results are not consistently positive in applying your power to caution, it’s probably because you need to better understand the subjective criteria you need to apply in judging whether or not each of these acts are to be cautioned.
![Page 24: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Persistent infringement of any of the rules of the game (R12-8-1-B).
Here the basic judgment question is how many times are enough to be persistent.
There are many approaches to making good judgments.
Be wise enough to ask for help in defining and recognizing persistent infringement if you need it.
![Page 25: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dissent – objecting by word or action to any decision a referee makes during a match (R12-8-1-C).
This is probably one of most common types of misconduct and also one that is least attended to by referees.
When not handled properly it does have a very negative effect on match control and player behavior.
Because once a player gets away with dissent other quickly learn to try the same misconduct.
Be particularly sensitive to this act.
![Page 26: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Unnecessary delay – Kicking, throwing the ball away or obstructing on a free kick.(R12-8-3-F3).
This act involves unfair time wasting , the match suffers if not controlled..
![Page 27: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Deliberate verbal tactics (R12-8-3-F4). These may include verbally baiting an
opponent , negative interference by calling for a pass when not involved in play or when no where near play.
Negative or interfering comments to opponents from the opposing bench, etc.
![Page 28: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Deliberate handling to stop an attack (R12-8-3-F6).
This involves the judgment of when a developing attack is negated by an unfair, deliberate, intentional act of handling.
![Page 29: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Deliberate Tactical Foul (R12-8-3-F7). Most often a non-violent, non serious
foul against an opponent to take the opponent out of a play.
![Page 30: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Faking an injury (R12-8-3-F8). This unfair tactic is often missed by the
referee team and is not always easy to recognized.
Many of us have witnessed an apparently injured player suddenly and miraculously recover after play is stopped or after the opposing team is unfairly penalized for a foul.
![Page 31: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Simulating a foul (R12-8-3-F9). This unfair act is usually referred to as
“taking a dive” in order to get an incorrect call by the referee in favor of the simulator.
![Page 32: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The coach may be cautioned either for team misconduct or for bench misconduct that cannot be attributed to a specific individual (R12-8-4B).
One example is when the coach fails to stop bench personnel from dissenting or making negative remarks that interfere with the match and individuals cannot be correctly identified.
![Page 33: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Keep in mind again that the two categories “mandatory” and “discretionary” are not sited in the NFHS Soccer Rules Book.
All reasons for caution cited in the rules can be said to be mandatory, in that the referee is required to penalize any participant who commits any of these.
![Page 34: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
However as most of us know deciding whether or not an act of misconduct has occurred is not always a cut and dry situation, especially in the discretionary category.
By categorizing and studying the list of caution offenses in the rules into mandatory and discretionary groups, a referee can perhaps find it easier to recognize each instance when the caution should be effectively invoked as a behavior technique.
![Page 35: National Federation of State High School Associations](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020322/5681329a550346895d99332a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A referee can also pursue finding out how better to judge the more difficult caution offenses by asking for or getting decision making guidance from your NFHS rule interpreter , clinician, assessor, mentor or referee colleagues.
Also take the opportunity to discuss other approaches in handling caution offenses in a match during a regular NFHS soccer referee meeting.
