Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game
U.S. Soccer Federation Referee Program
A newly updated edition of Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game is now available. The first edition of the Advice was published in 1998 and it was updated in 2005. The material in the latest edition is consistent with The International Board decisions to date.
The Advice to Referees provides USSF referees, referee instructors, referee assessors, coaches, players, and fans a reliable compilation of international and national guidelines on interpretations of the Laws of the Game. It is not a replacement for the Laws of the Game, nor is it a "how to" book on refereeing. It has been compiled from a number of sources of information: the Laws of the Game, the Questions and Answers to the Laws of the Game, annual FIFA Circulars, as well as other official publications from the USSF instructional program, including articles in Fair Play and specific subject memoranda.<
The Advice provides insight into aspects of the Laws that are not always clear to the casual reader and gives referees a solid foundation for making the correct decision at the correct time. It answers questions whose solutions are not always clear to even the most experienced referees. The Advice is also an ideal resource for coaches and players, to help them understand the decisions made by referees, assistant referees, and fourth officials.
