SYSA U8 Detailed Game Procedures for RefITs U8 Game Highlights (differences between U6/U7 and U8)
7 v 7 with GoalKeepers - if each team has a large number of players, you may allow 8 v 8 if the coaches ask
More formal field markings - Goal area - Penalty Area - Corner Arcs - Center Circle
Formal Substitutions (not on the fly like U6/U7)
- Initiated by coach’s verbal request to the ref after a stoppage (“Ref, can I sub now?”) - Be listening for this request from sidelines - Must occur on any stoppage of play such as:
• Throw In (out of bounds across touchline)• Goal Kick (out of bounds across goal-line)• Corner Kick (out of bounds across goal-line)• Kickoff (after a score)• Free Kick (after a foul)• Dropped Ball (after play is stopped for injury)
A Center Ref is used for each game with no linesman• Do not request club linesman for out of bounds call, you make the call the best you can• Tell players to play to the whistle• Means you must be willing to use the whistle to get the player’s attention if needed
SYSA U8 Detailed Game Procedures for RefITsPre-Game:
Ensure lines have been refreshed (if not, ask home coach to do so)
Ensure goals are securely anchored with at least 2 sandbags (if not ask home coach to do so)
Ensure corner flags are up (if not, ask home coach to do so)
Continue to skip the Coin Toss at this level - Indicate kickoff by Orange to start 1st quarter, White to start 2nd quarter, Orange to start 3rd quarter, White to start 4th quarter
Perform equipment check for both teams
Make sure each goalkeeper has a “pinnie” on to identify them is the goalkeeper The quarters are now 12 minutes long so start your watch and try to keep track of time
Never stop your watch, use a running clock at all times
Get the coaches to sign your paysheet the same as U6 and U7
SYSA U8 Detailed Game Procedures for RefITs During the Game:
SEE – Safety / Equality / Enjoyment – these are your primary areas of focus and reason for being there
“Protect” the GoalKeepers- Blow the whistle to stop play if an attacker gets close to a challenging goalkeeper- This is a judgement call in the interest of safety- Try not to let the goalkeeper get wiped out by an attacker- Restart is to hand it to the goalkeeper and let her distribute it without interference
Blow the whistle to stop the game for
- Any injured player and check if they are OK, or call the coach if necessary (judgement call)- Any player who falls and is in danger of getting injured- Restart with a dropped ball requesting a single player from each team participate
NO PENALTY KICKS are to be awarded, all Indirect Free Kicks
Be on the lookout for fouls including:- Intentional Handball- Tripping, Pushing, Charging
Blatant OFFSIDE calls only (This is what’s meant by “SOFT”) - unless it’s REALLY obvious (offside by more than approx 3 yards – your judgement call)
SYSA U8 Detailed Game Procedures for RefITs During the Game:
Signal and verbally state the restart after a stoppage: - Goal Kick: extend hand pointing to Goal Area and say “Goal Kick orange”- Corner Kick: extend hand 45 degrees up towards corner flag and say “Corner Kick white”- Throw In: extend hand 45 degrees up and point in direction of throw in saying “Throw in orange”
For Dropped Ball- Use this after an injury or any stoppage where there is no foul- Invite one orange and one white to participate- Ask them not to kick the ball until the ball hits the ground
No cards should ever be used at U8, only your voice- If you feel a player is not cooperating for whatever reason, you may ask the coach to sit them out for a while
Do not worry about keeping score
Post Game:
Remain at center of field in case an after-game sportsmanship handshake line forms and players want to thank you
Smile, act like you enjoyed yourself and be proud of a job well done!
