Anyone know what the penalty is from high school league if a player gets 2 yellows in a game? he did sit the rest of the game, but the ref told him he was 99% sure he did not have to sit out a game...unless the school punishes him...basically the kid got a soft red-not a direct red card was pulled...
any help here on the rules/policies?
High School league rules are that the player must be removed from the game, the team may substitute for them (leaving it 11 v 11) and there is no further punishment from the league. The school may deal with it if they choose. Don't have the rule book in front of me, but that is what it is.
thanks for the info. he was removed from the game and was subbed; the other coach's flipped but the ref reminded them they were not playing fifa/ussf rules...i had no idea so good to know for future games, etc.
Being able to bring on a substitute for the soft red situation is correct, but no further sanctions to the player except by the school in incorrect. The referee will submit a red card report to the high school league and they will issue a sanction to the offending player. That player will probably be suspended for the next match, but the suspension could be longer
Real quick, some different rules between HS and club (FIFA). Many parents are more familiar with FIFA rules.
In HS......
1. If you get 2 yellows you can be replaced.
2. If a throw-in "never came in", it goes to the other team.
3. You can sub on your own corner kick, providing you are already at the half field line.
4. Once you put a ball down for a goal kick, you can't move it to the other side.
That's a few that I've seen "confuse" some parents in the stands.
Coach P......feel free to add a couple more.
I apologize for the mistake. Like I said, I don't have the book in front of me. Thanks Blind.
blind ol ref.
The kid can play the next match. If it happens again (soft Red) then one game out.
One of our boys got a soft red (first time) a week or two ago...when our AD called the league office to confirm the penalty he was told that after reading the offical's report they were giving him a next-game suspension, even though the official on the field only showed the second yellow.
Apparently the rules are a bit more arbitrary than the rules state.
hurst
can the player take the corner from either side he chooses?
a ref told me that once, but one ref wouldn't allow.
.....too lazy to look up
I heard from that coach he has to sit the next game-i guess coming from the high school league; so don't assume to yellows they won't make you sit...i guess it depends on the write up by the ref...basically he had 2 hard fouls-no punches thrown or anything before or afterward...he did not play the one where he got the 2nd yellow..it definitely was a foul, not doubt...
so don't assume anything it is all on the high school league to give the punishment...this is not coming from the school as the coach was going to punish him himself per AD request
i guess the ref reported "unsportsmanlike conduct" and "impeding progress" for each yellow and the high school league suspened him 1 game...as i said don't assume they don't get suspended-all on the league..and with the recent cards flying in all sorts of games this week maybe they are cracking down and suspending everyone
It should not depend on the ref. 2 yellows, you sit the next game or two. No interpretation needed.
I think that is ridiculous. Two yellows you sit.
