ALL CASES OF VIOLENCE WILL BE SEVERLY PUNISHED.

USE OF VIDEO EVIDENCE:
Visual aids (videos, films etc) to support

Decisions of fact made during

to:
LINKS
LAW XVII - GOAL KEEPERS
1.
If a Goal Keeper receives the ball with their hands, they must return
the ball into play with their hands
2. If
the Goal Keeper controls the ball with their feet, they must return
it into play with their feet
3. A Goal Keeper
cannot bounce the ball and catch it again whilst the ball is in play
4. Failure to comply to the above rules will
result in a foul and a throw in to the opposite side at the nearest
point of the side line to the

WARNING TO ALL PLAYERS, REFEREES, CLUB OFFICIALS & SPECTATORS:
Any
person using foul and abusive language will be red carded automatically
and there will be no exceptions to this rule.
All players in all clubs
and centres will be required to produce their ID card on demand to
any
inspector or referee for all types of games. This will alleviate
unregistered players from taking part in FFAO games.
Any player red
carded will have their ID card confiscated by the referee and held
by the centre until their suspension has been served.
All referees
must carry their ID card with them at all times and must wear the
correct uniform. No club should be using a referee that is not qualified
or is dressed improperly.
All players and teams playing in National
League will wear uniforms in accordance with FFAO
National League
rules.
Any team being late for a kick-off ie. less than 4 players,
will be allowed 5 minutes of clock running time to fulfill their obligations.
At the end of the 5 minutes the game is a forfeit with 6 goals being
awarded to the opposition.
