Over 18 Senior Ages 11 v 11 8 24 110 70 116 76

Note: County FAs and Leagues may have defined rules for their own competitions and reference should always be made to their handbooks for additional guidance and compliance.

The FA recommends that run-off‘s for natural grass pitches should be a minimum of 3 yards all around the pitch. For those clubs playing in the football pyramid the minimum safety run off is 1.83 metres (6 feet) but ideally at least 2 metres.

The run-off must be of natural grass and must not be of tarmac or concrete construction, with nobarriers or obstructions evident within the run-off area.

Where pitches neighbour others within a confined area, the minimum run-off between both pitches should ideally be 6 yards to allow for spectators watching either match.

The Laws of the Game may be modified in their application for matches for players of under 16 years of age, for women footballers, for veteran footballers (over 35 years) and for players with disabilities.

Any or all of the following modifications are permissible:-(a) the size of the field of play(b) the size, weight and material of the ball(c) the width between the goalposts and the height of the crossbar from the ground(d) the duration of the periods of play(e) substitutions

* If a pitch is to be provided for U13/14 it is recommended that 7 x 21 goalposts are provided. However, it should be noted that 8 x 24 would also be acceptable as not all sites will be able to provide specifically for this age group

GUIDE TO MARKING REFEREES

The mark awarded by a club must be based on the Referee’s overall performance. It is mostimportant that the mark is awarded fairly and not based upon isolated incidents or previous games.The Referee’s performance should be determined by the table below which should act as a guide forthe overall mark which should fall within the mark range for each standard of performance.

MARK RANGE COMMENT100-86 The Referee demonstrated very accurate decision-making and controlled the

game very well using management and communication skills effectively toadd value to the game.

85-76 The Referee demonstrated accurate decision-making and controlled thegame well using management and communication skills to contributepositively to the game.

75-61 The Referee demonstrated reasonably accurate decision-making and despitesome shortcomings generally controlled the game well.

60 and below The Referee demonstrated shortcomings in the accuracy of decision-makingand control which affected the game.

NOTESClub officials should use the full range of marks within each category to help distinguish betweendifferent performance levels, e.g. within the 85-76 category a mark of 84 indicates a betterperformance than a mark of 77.While some Referees may have below average performances, there will usually have beensome positive aspects of their performance, so extremely low marks should be very rare.When club officials are marking a Referee, they should always look at the game as a whole andnot isolated decisions. The result of the match should not influence the mark and disciplinaryaction should be judged objectively.When a mark of 60 or lower is awarded, an explanation must be provided to the Competitionusing the box provided on the marking form. The purpose of this is to assist Referees to improvetheir performance levels, so the comments should be as helpful as possible.


73

HOW TO DECIDE ON THE REFEREE’S MARK

The following questions focus on the key areas of a Referee’s performance. They are intended as an“aide memoire”, are not necessarily comprehensive and need not be answered individually. It is,however, worth considering them before committing yourself to a mark for the Referee.

CONTROL AND DECISION MAKINGHow well did the Referee control the game?Were the players’ actions recognized correctly?Were the Laws applied correctly?Were all incidents dealt with efficiently/effectively?Were all the appropriate sanctions applied correctly?Was the Referee always within reasonable distance of incidents?Was the Referee well positioned to make critical decisions, especially in and around thepenalty area?Did the Referee understand the players’ positional intentions and keep out of the wayaccordingly?Did the Referee demonstrate alertness and concentration throughout the game?Did the Referee apply the use of the advantage to suit the mood and temperature of thegame?Was the Referee aware of the players’ attitude to advantage?Did the Referee use the assistants effectively?Did the officials work as a team, and did the Referee lead and manage them to the benefit ofthe game?

COMMUNICATION AND PLAYER MANAGEMENTHow well did the Referee communicate with the players during the game?Did the Referee’s Level of involvement/profile suit this particular game?Did the Referee understand the players’ problems on the day – e.g. difficult ground/ weatherconditions?Did the Referee respond to the changing pattern of play/mood of players?Did the Referee demonstrate empathy for the game, allowing it to develop in accordance withthe tempo of the game?Was the Referee pro-active in controlling of the game?Was the Referee’s authority asserted firmly without being officious?Was the Referee confident and quick thinking?Did the Referee appear unflustered and unhurried when making critical decisions?Did the Referee permit undue questioning of decisions?Did the Referee deal effectively with players crowding around after decisions/incidents?Was effective player management in evidence?Was the Referee’s body language confident and open at all times?Did the pace of the game, the crowd or player pressure affect the Referee negatively?

FINAL THOUGHTSAlways try to be objective when marking. You may not obtain the most objective view bymarking immediately after the game.Judge the performance over the whole game. Don’t be too influenced by one particularincident.Don’t mark the Referee down unfairly because your team was unlucky and lost the game orsome disciplinary action was taken against your players.


74
