Disciplinary Sanctions

The use of temporary time suspensions and the exclusion of a player arising from the issuing of a red card are the recommended disciplinary sanctions for use in small-sided football. Match officials should employ the use of temporary timed suspensions (blue cards) in all cases traditionally regarded as cautionable offences.
Referees shall also have the discretion to use a second 'blue card' and a further period of suspension for a second minor offence rather than a second blue card automatically resulting in a red card and permanent expulsion.
The options for a match official imposing disciplinary sanctions are therefore;
Player shown a blue card and temporarily suspended from play
Player issued with a discretionary second blue card and temporarily excluded from play
Player issued with a red card and permanently excluded from play
A blue card offence should always be accompanied by a temporary suspension from play.
The period of timed suspension in Small Sided Football shall be two minutes. The release of players from a temporary suspension should be at the direction of the Referee.

Temporary Timed Suspensions – Procedures:

A player temporarily suspended from play will be shown a blue card by the Referee and informed that he/she shall be suspended from play for two minutes.
The player is obliged to leave the playing area and remain in a designated 'sin bin' area for the required suspension time. Suspended players should remain in the area where they can be seen by the referee and adjacent to team officials and substitutes.
A player will be informed as to the end of a period of suspension by the referee and invited to rejoin the game.

Temporary Timed Suspensions:

A player is shown the blue card and temporarily excluded from play if they commit any of the following offences:
C1 is guilty of unsporting behaviour
C2 shows dissent by word or action
C3 persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
C4 delays the restart of play
C5 fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, kick-in,
free kick or goal clearance.
C6 enters or re-enters the playing area without the referee's permission or infringes the
substitution procedure
C7 deliberately leaves the playing area without the referee's permission outside of a
substitution Exception to the use of 'Blue Cards' and Temporary Timed Suspensions
If 2 Blue cards are given to an individual the player will be shown a red card and dismissed from the game (A player who has been shown 2 Blue Cards is not excluded from the Tournament)

Sending-Off Offences:

A player is sent off and shown the red card if they commit any of the following offences
1. S1 is guilty of serious foul play
2. S2 is guilty of violent conduct
3. S3 spits at an opponent or any other person
4. S4 denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by
deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty
area)
5. S5 denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick
6. S6 uses offensive, insulting or abusive language

A player who has been sent off may not take any further part in the game nor may they sit on the substitutes' bench, where provided.
