Changes
Referees have the access to card a coach and the submission will be sent to the League Commissioner.
The IFAB rule page states: Team Officials - Laws 5 & 12
Changes
- A team official guilty of misconduct will be shown a YC (caution) or RC (sending-off)*; if the offender cannot be identified, the senior coach who is in the technical area at the time will receive the YC/RC * Law 12 will have a list of YC/RC offences
- The experiment with YC/RC for misconduct by team officials has been successful and has revealed many benefits at all levels, including for young referees dealing with 'difficult' adult coaches. If the offender cannot be identified, the senior team official (usually the main coach) in the technical area will receive the YC/RC (as the person responsible for the other team officials).
INCIDENCE REPORTING
LARS is requesting referees report any instances of verbal or physical abuse, discrimination, parent or sideline issues before, during, or after the game where the referee has been involved or has witnessed. This report will go to the Commissioners of LARS.
