VIOLATIONS


If an illegal player is discovered on the attacking team after a goal is scored and before play is restarted, the goal does not count. The opposing goalkeeper gets the ball.


The penalty for illegal substitution is a free position for the opposing team at the spot of the ball when the illegal substitution occurred.


If the illegal substitute is a player who has been suspended (second yellow) or ejected (red) and is ineligible for further play in a game, this shall be coach misconduct.


BEST PRACTICES


Substitutions at all levels should be continuously rotating to give each player equal fi eld time to become familiar with rules of play and team concepts. This also helps players to stay hydrated and receive feedback from the coach.


During practice, players should simulate the substitution procedure to ensure they enter and exit through the substitution area according to the rules.


PERSPECTIVES


Equal playing time is strongly encouraged at the youth level.


SUBSTITUTIONS


A player is running toward her team substitution area when the whistle blows to stop play. She continues moving and attempts to complete the substitution. Ruling: ILLEGAL. She must be directed to return to where she was when the whistle blew.


Teach your players when and how to substitute. The best time is when your team has possession in a settled attack.


Don’t substitute players in your defensive end when the opponent has the ball.


Make sure that there are not too many players on the fi eld.
