[ayso45-refs] Goalie grabs ball...

[Kirshenbaum, Evan R]

Technically, by the Advice it would seem that it is an offence, as it was deliberately kicked toward someplace the keeper can pick it up.  
 
It hasn't come up in a U10 match I've done, but I suspect that I would give a warning and let them play on.  On the other hand, on actual pass-backs, I have been calling them and awarding IFKs.  (I think it's come up about three times this year.)  My reasoning is that players are still taking turns at keeper, and if I just shout out a warning, only the one keeper will hear, but if I actually stop and have them set up for a kick, everyone on the field gets to realize that that's something you're not supposed to do.  And in any case, at this level, even close-in IFKs aren't really much of a threat--the odds are that the keeper's going to get the ball back in a few seconds anyway.

	I'd like to get a clarification in James' second scenario.  It's common that a U10 defender intends to clear the ball in the penalty area in the direction away from the goalkeeper but the ball doesn't go very far.  If the goalkeeper runs toward the ball and grabs it, it shouldn't be an offence, right?  The ball is not deliberately kicked to the goalkeeper.
	 
	Regarding Randy's email, I agree that the young players, e.g., U10, never intend to waste time by passing the ball back to the goalkeeper.  When they deliberately kick to the goalkeeper it's usually because they are under pressure by the opposing team.  I thought we were asked to enforce this rule in region 45 starting a few weeks ago.  Are we still supposed to give warning, whether it's once or twice?

		Thanks. This is very clear. I previously misunderstood "to him" as requiring intent of directing the ball to the goalkeeper.

		Remember the offense is commited by the Goalkeeper,  not his/her teammate, the defender.   Also, the term "pass" does not enter into the definition of the offense.
		 
		Lets look at the Advise to Referees published by USSF...
		 
		12.20 BALL KICKED TO THE GOALKEEPER

		A goalkeeper infringes Law 12 if he or she touches the ball with the hands directly after it has been

		deliberately kicked to him or her by a teammate. The requirement that the ball be kicked means only

		that it has been played with the foot. The requirement that the ball be "kicked to" the goalkeeper

		means only that the play is to or toward a place where the ‘keeper can legally handle the ball. The

		requirement that the ball be "deliberately kicked" means that the play on the ball is deliberate and does

		not include situations in which the ball has been, in the opinion of the referee, accidentally deflected or

		misdirected.

		 
		So,  if in your opinion as the Referee,  the defender controlled the ball ( it wasn't a deflection, or a muff ),  then it is an offense on the part of the Keeper to handle the ball.   The restart would be a Indirect Free Kick, IFK, from the point at which the Keeper touched the ball, suject to the "special circumstances of Law 8".  
		 
		Be careful of the use of the word "penalty",   that implies the special form of the direct free kick awarded when a "major" fould is commited in the Penalty Area.

			What if a defender has control and the goalie comes up and picks up the ball (the defender did not pass it to her nor did she know the goalie was going to pick it up)?  Is that a penalty?

			 

			What if defender had control and then started to clear it, but didn’t kick it hard enough (ball still in the penalty area), and the goalie runs out to get it?

			
			Thanks,
			James
