Valuable USSF Referee References
Offside Call - Have you ever had to think twice about
making this call? Check out this LINK (Shockwave Flash file video) for a great pictorial description of the "Offside Rule"!
Handling - (also referred to as Hand Ball - yet not the correct terminology). There are many interpretations, so please take a look to help you along. Please click HERE to review the proper ruling for "deliberate handling of the ball" during play (only a 2 page document).
LOTG (Laws of the Game - 2018/19): Very valuable document to download (.pdf) and reference as needed.
