Seen this today from my local County FA and it got me thinking.

Im thinking more youth and junior football, it crossed my mind that it might be a good idea to hand these flyers out to parents, coaches and even players at all junior football.

Who teaches the players the LOTG if the adults dont know them themselves.

Very vague but could be tweaked. Instruction on the laws is important but perhaps a simplified LOTG book for kids and coaches would be good. Perhaps not as referee focused or something...
 
Spuddy, you read my mind! Yesterday I just informed my local commissioner that I was going to print out the cautionable and sending off offenses to every coach that I see. Im admin, assignor, and ref in Hawaii. His answer was that he would handle them. I will still print them out. My experience from way, way across the pond is that the vast, and I use vast loosely, is that most do not know the LOTG.
 
It took me months to figure out all the abbreviations used on here, don't throw another into the mix!

Just a thought for kids. I assume they still get fines for cards? Perhaps for kids football there should be no fines for cards. Perhaps refs would officiate them like adult matches, be just as harsh with the cards, therefore normalizing the card giving and receiving process for young players and refs.

The idea being that by the time they reach OA, cards are handed out as intended in the LOTG, hopefully reducing the amount of dissent, aggression, VC etc because the players will have become so used to seeing this dealt with as intended from an early age.

Just a thought.

Yes but then who would pay for the Christmas do Ben? :angel:
 
Round my way a lot of clubs pay for fines but not dissent, kicking the ball away so the ones which are controllable by a player the player has to pay.

Wouldn't be handing that out to any club, it's far too vague.

- Player walks off the pitch for some water *book him ref!*
- Referee attempts the stepped approach before a dissent booking *book him ref!*
