![]() Under National Federation rules (US high school), a player must leave the field after receiving a yellow card (caution). A player who is issued a yellow card is noted by the referee, and if a second yellow card is issued, the player is sent off. A referee who shows a player a yellow card is indicating that the player has committed one of the seven cautionable offenses. A referee who points directly to the penalty spot, or the spot two-thirds of the way between the penalty area line and goal area line, is indicating that a player has committed a DFK offense within his own penalty area and a penalty kick has been issued. When signaling for an IFK, the referee will keep his hand up until after the ball has been kicked and touched by another player. A goal may not be scored from an IFK until it has touched another player. An IFK is awarded for any foul not falling under the category of penal foul, or a foul which is not committed against opponents. Football referee signals free#If after signaling for a free kick the referee keeps his hand above his head then he is signaling for an indirect free kick, or IFK. A DFK is awarded when one of the players commits one of the ten penal fouls against an opponent. To signal a direct free kick, or DFK, a referee will blow his whistle and point with a raised arm in the direction of the goal that the team who has been awarded the free kick is attacking. If the foul warranted a card, however, he will show the card at the next stoppage in play. If, at the end of the 3 seconds, an advantage was gained by the fouled team, such as possession being kept or a goal being scored, the foul will be ignored by the referee. Typically the referee will give around 3 seconds to determine who comes out on top. In advantage, the referee delays the call because he believes that the fouled team still has the advantage in the situation. A referee who, without blowing his whistle, points both arms out, has seen a foul but has decided to play advantage. A short, quick whistle indicates a lesser foul only punished by a free kick, and longer, harder blasts indicate serious fouls punishable by cards or penalty kicks. The whistle tone will often indicate the nature of the foul. A referee who blows his whistle has seen something, most often a foul, or stoppage in play, which requires him to immediately terminate play and deal with the situation. ![]()
