Law 3: The Number of Players
Matches are generally played by two teams of 11 to a
side. The goalkeeper is included in the 11-player total.

time, the game is a forfeit. FIFA-sanctioned matches are
generally limited to three substitutions per match.

guards entirely. If the referee deems a player’s
equipment unsatisfactory, the player can be sent off

Law 5: The Referee
The referee is the authority on the field, and his word
is law. If you question a referee’s decision, you can be
disciplined further simply for dissent.
Law 6: The Assistant Referees
The assistant referees are primarily responsible for
assisting the referee in performing his duties – this
includes signaling with a flag when a ball goes of play,
when a player is fouled, or when a player is in an
offside position.
Referees Signals
Goal kick
To make a goal kick signal, the ref points at the goal
with his arm straight, and palm open.
A goal kick in football is awarded to a team if an
offensive player plays the ball out of bounds over the
goal line.
Corner kick
A ref signals for a corner kick by pointing to the corner
flag where the kick must be taken.

A corner kick in football is awarded when a defensive

player plays the ball out of bounds over the goal line.
Penalty kick
To signal for a penalty kick, the ref points to the penalty spot
with his index finger. The penalty spot is the part of the
football field where penalty kicks are taken, indicated by a
bold dot.

The penality kick is awarded to an offensive player when he

is fouled inside the penalty area.
INDIRECT FREE-KICK
The referee will signal the positioning and direction of an
indirect free-kick in the same way as any other free-kick.
However, to show that the kick is indirect the referee keeps
one arm outstretched above his head until after the kick is
taken.
It avoids any confusion when a goal is scored directly from a
free-kick
DIRECT FREE-KICK
The referee should point with a raised arm in the direction
that the free-kick has been given.
The referee does need to make a further signal to indicate it is
direct.
Players often wait before taking a free-kick to check with the
ref whether it is direct or indirect.
BOOKINGS
These are not the signals you should be wanting a ref to show
you.
The signal for a caution or sending off is the same - it's just the
colour of the card that is different.
The referee will take a note of the player and then hold the
card high above the head with an outstretched arm.
If the player is sent off for two bookable offences, the referee
will show the second yellow card before holding up the red
card.
It is possible, though, that a player who has already been
booked can be shown a straight red card.
A yellow card is issued the same way with a red card.
The yellow card in football is a caution for a serious rule
violation. If a player is issued a yellow card for the second time
in the match, he will be sent off from play.

After awarding a second yellow card, the referee shows a red

card to indicate that the offending player must leave the
football field.
When awarding a red card, the referee goes to the player who
committed an offense then holds a red-colored card high up.
After making this gesture, the referee gives the signal for a
direct free kick, or a penalty kick if the offense happened inside
the penalty area.

The referee gives ared card in football to send off a player who
committed a very serious foul and misconduct.
ADVANTAGE
Even after a foul, a ref may allow play to continue
sometimes.
He will look to see if the team that would have been
awarded the free-kick has an advantage in playing on.
To signal that he is waving play on, he will extend both
arms out in front of his body.
Law 7: The Duration of the Match
A soccer match is comprised of two 45-minute halves,
with extra time added for each at the referee’s discretion.
The halves are separated by a half-time period not to
exceed 15 minutes..
Law 8: The Start and Restart of Play
Kick-off is generally determined by a coin toss, whereby
the winning team can either choose to start with the ball
or choose which goal they would like to attack.
Law 9: The Ball In and Out of Play
The ball is out of play when it fully crosses either the goal
line or the touch line. It is also out of play if the referee
stops play for any reason.
Law 10: The Method of Scoring
A goal is scored when the entire ball has crossed the
goal line within the frame of the goal. At the end of the
match, the team with the most goals is the winner,
barring the circumstantial necessity for extra time.
Law 11: Offside
When an attacking player receives the ball while on his
opponents half, he must be level or behind the second
to last defender .However, this rule only applies if he is
involved with the play.

Law 14: The Penalty Kick

attacking player or commits a handball in his/her team’s penalty
area. The penalty kick is placed at the penalty spot, and all players on
both teams must remain outside the penalty box during the shot.
They may enter the box immediately after the shot is taken. The
goalkeeper may move horizontally along the goal line before the shot
is taken, but he may not come off the line until the ball is struck.

Law 15: The Throw-In

bounds over the touchline. While taking a throw-in, a player must
release the ball with both hands simultaneously and keep both feet

stopped and the throw-in is given to the opposing team. Players are
not allowed to score directly off a throw-in.
Law 16: The Goal Kick
A goal kick is awarded when the offensive team plays
the ball out of bounds over the defensive team’s goal
line. After the ball is out of play, the defender or
goalkeeper may place the ball anywhere within the six-
yard goal box and kick the ball back into play.
Law 17: The Corner Kick
A corner kick is awarded to the offensive team when
the defensive team plays the ball out of bounds over its
goal line. The ball is placed within the corner area and
is kicked back into play by the offensive team. Players
can score directly off a corner kick.
Fundamentals kills in Football
Kicking
Ball Control
Dribbling
Tackling
Trapping
Passing
 Controlling the Ball

To control the ball is to

master it. Properly
controlling the ball means
that a move will be
successful. The control
movements to focus on are:
directed control and
gathering the ball while
moving – these introduce
speed into the play.
 Running with the Ball
This is how an individual moves
in free space with the ball. When
a player is running well with the
ball, he/she is in control of it at
all times: this requires good
balance and excellent stability.
Running with the ball while
keeping the head up allows a
continuous flow of information
to be received and allows
movement to be adapted to play.
 Passing the Ball
This is the action of giving the
ball to a team-mate. It is an
essential part of team play. As
the core of the game, passing
allows a team to:
keep possession of the ball;
set up attacks;
change the direction of play;
counter-attack;
provide a decisive or final
pass.
 Shooting
This is an action with the
objective of dispatching the ball
into the opponent’s goal. It is the
logical conclusion, the
culmination of an attack. It is
what football is all about.
Shooting requires technical
qualities (striking the ball well,
accuracy), physical qualities
(power, coordination, balance)
and mental qualities
(determination, audacity, self-
confidence).
