RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
These guidelines/interpretations supersede the NFHS Rule Book.
Rule 3 - Substitutions shall be conducted in the following manner. Players leaving
the field must leave on their team's side anywhere along their touchline. If both
teams are on the same side of the field, the players must exit nearest their bench.
Substitutes must enter at mid-field, where the halfway line intersects the touchline
and may not enter until the player they are replacing has left the field of play and
has been directed to enter by the referee or assistant referee.
Reason: Preventative mechanics and better control. If players exit the field on
their own side or near their bench, there is less chance for confrontation with
opposing teams, substitutes or spectators. Also, the referee has better control of
players and less time is lost through substitution. In addition, scorekeepers are
rarely used by the schools.
For clarification, if a team starts with less than 11 players and a player or players
arrive late, can they enter the game? NFHS rules will allow them to enter at the
next stoppage in play provided their name is on the roster or is added to the roster,
and they are properly checked for legal equipment.
RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
Rule 3: If the referee stops play for an injury and feels it is appropriate
to stop the clock to address the injury, it is NOT required the the
player be removed from the game UNLESS the player is attended to
on the field or the referee deems it necessary for the player to leave
the game at that time. This applies to BOTH field players and
goalkeepers.
Reason: SCSOA wants the referee to have the ability to stop the clock
without concern for whether or not the player will have to leave the
game. This is often necessary to evaluate the seriousness of the injury
and/or to prevent time wasting toward the end of the game. Current
NFHS interpretations require that players be replaced any time the
clock is stopped for an injury – whether or not the player is attended to
on the field
Rule 4 - Section 4-2-2 refers to hair control devices being legal if made
of soft material and not for adornment. SCSOA policy is that head
scarves or bandanas will not be allowed under any circumstances.
Reason: SCSOA feels these are not a necessity and fall under the adornment category as well as having
potentially dangerous knots. Also, this will prevent gang colors from being displayed, which could lead to
other problems.
SCSOA will make an exception to permit headdress which is worn due to the individual's religious beliefs
(e.g., burqa, hijab); however, such headdress is permitted only if the referee feels the item does not provide
a safety concern for the player or an opponent (the referee is the sole authority in making such a decision).
Rule 5 - 5-1-3 (a) deals with referee shirt color conflicting with the teams, where the referee must change
to non-conflicting colors. SCSOA has adopted the standard colors approved by USSF for our referees. It is
mandatory that the referees dress alike in a shirt that isn't in conflict with either team. Referees must
carry alternate colors with them. If the goalkeeper is in conflict with teammates or opponents, the
goalkeeper will change uniform. (Note: Recent rule change does permit referees and goalkeepers to have
like color shirts.)
SCSOA policy is that only 3-striped cuff socks will be permitted. SCSOA policy is that sunglasses will not be
allowed to be worn by referees. The only exception is prescription glasses. No sunglasses allow for better
game control through eye contact (both with players and referees).
SCSOA policy is that referees will not wear jewelry (e.g., earrings, necklaces) as is the case for players
on the field.
RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
Rule 9 - SCSOA will adhere to a 'common sense' rule in the case
of football goal posts having crossbars and uprights that extend
over the soccer goal and into the field of play. If a ball in play
should hit the football goal posts, a goal kick or a corner kick will
be awarded depending on which team last touched the ball. Do
not award a drop ball for 'unusual circumstances.' You would be
dropping the ball on the 6-yard line. Make sure your assistant
referees as well as the coaches and the captains are aware of
this interpretation prior to the game beginning.
RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
Rule 9 - If the ball is caused to go out of bounds by two opponents simultaneously, the referee
should make a decision as to which team to award the throw-in (use common sense).
Reason: SCSOA feels the referee will maintain better credibility if he makes a decision on a
throw-in rather than show indecision by giving a drop ball, as indicated in the NFHS rule
book.
Rule 13 - If the referee fails to give the correct signal for an indirect free kick, the kick must be
retaken, regardless of the original outcome. This also applies to an incorrect signal for a direct
free kick.
Reason: Players will obviously respond in a different manner based on the visible signal which
is given. (for example, a GK will try to touch the ball before it goes into the goal if he/she
doesn't see an IFK signal; or a GK might purposely let the ball go in to the goal untouched if
sees an IFK signal - if either of these signals were incorrectly given then a fair result has not
taken place).
This is the same policy as adhered to under USSF rules (Advice to Referees 13.9) but note that
under NISOA college rules, the referee is directed to continue play in these circumstances
even if an incorrect signal is given.

Add to Chart: Trail referee starts play after caution, disqualification, injury, and encroachment
(except in the case of a throw-in where the lead official is responsible for ruling on the legality of
the throw-in)
Reason: No whistle on a drop ball because the referee that initiates play has the ball in hand and
doesn't need to blow the whistle to start play. The Trail referee initiating play on a drop ball may
cause a problem if the referee dropping the ball is not ready for the restart. On a penalty kick or
free kick, the Trail referee should be at the place of the kick. He is in a better position to control the
restart since he will have to deal with encroachment or delaying kicks.
RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
NFHS Official Soccer Signals - Goal –
SCSOA strongly encourages the referee to blow his/her
whistle when a goal is scored.
Reason: Such a signal ensures that play is stopped and
that there is no confusion as to whether or not the goal
was scored. In addition, this is one of the required times
that the clock is to be stopped under NHFS rules, and the
whistle will always immediately precede the required hand
signal.
CONCUSSION PROTOCOL
Per CIF guidelines (CIFSS and State), any player, who is
suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury and is
removed from the game, shall not return to play on that
same date of competition. The player may only return to play
in following days if he/she has received written clearance
from a licensed health-care professional. In any NFHS rule
book reference to a "health-care professional", we will abide
by the CIF State definition of such an individual: "medical
doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO)”.
If a player is removed from the field due to a concussion or
any other serious injury, an INCIDENT REPORT must be filed
with the CIF within 24 hours.
RULES GUIDELINES to be followed by
SCSOA 2014-15
 LA CITY RULES or CIFSS RULES - For games which include
a LA City team against a CIFSS team, the rules which the
home team follows will be those under which the game
will be played. However, if both coaches agree to abide by
one team's set of rules, then the referee should also follow
those rules. The bottom line - use common sense and just
make sure that everyone is in agreement BEFORE the
game begins.
RULE 5-1-2 – GENERAL
Page 30
ART. 2 . . . The jurisdiction of the officials shall begin on their arrival at the field of play and its
immediate surroundings (to begin their official responsibilities), which shall be not later than 15
minutes prior to the start of the game and end with their leaving the field of play and its immediate
surroundings. They shall enforce the rules, and their decisions on points of fact are final. The officials
can only correct a decision so long as the game has not been restarted. The officials retain clerical
authority over the contest through the completion of any reports, including those imposing
disqualifications, that are responsive to actions occurring while the referees had jurisdiction. State
associations may intercede in the event of unusual incidents that occur before, during or after the
officials’ jurisdiction has ended or in the event that a contest is terminated prior to the conclusionof
regulation play. Protests of NFHS rules are not recognized. The officials shall not use video replays to
assist in any decision. The officials shall not use any tobacco products during this period.
COMMENTS ON THE RULES
The jurisdiction of the officials shall begin on their arrival at the field of play and its immediate
surroundings, which shall be no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. Previously, the
jurisdiction of the officials began 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. The original intent was to
establish a minimum arrival time for the officiating crew and not to place a limit on the start of their
jurisdiction. Jurisdiction now begins at the time of their arrival.
