F i t n e s s t r a i n i n g e v e r y Wednesday is held at HSBC, Lennard Road, Beckenham. This is adjacent to New Beckenham rail station. Arrive at 7pm for a 7.30 warm up. Two separate groups are organised; 1) those wishing to undertake the modern approach to training warm up, short bursts of activity concentrating on speed and agility at low, medium or high intensity. A definite for anyone wishing to make progress 2) those opting for stamina and endurance normally favoured by the more experienced referee Both are sociable and good fun. You will also make good contacts within refereeing and learn practical tips by being in such exalted company. Cost - There may be an initial charge to pay for equipment but after that it is free, unless you retire to the bar afterwards. Recommended for close season training and is ideal preparation for the pre-season friendly matches that will soon be upon us. Want to know any more? |
| Law 4 - The Players' Equipment
Law 4 of The Laws of the Game states that "A player must not use equipment or wear anything which is dangerous to himself or another player (including any kind of jewellery)" It has been the practice in some matches, particularly within the professional game, to allow players to wear a plain 'wedding ring' provided it was taped. However, it is clear that this practice contravenes Law 4 as laid down by the International Football Association Board. This Law exists to protect the safety of players. Its importance was highlighted last season when, yet again, a number of players were injured as a result of jewellery being worn by themselves or other players. Therefore, with immediate effect, all items of jewellery must be removed by players, in all matches under the jurisdiction of The Football Association. It is thus not permissible to tape over any form of jewellery. Would you please communicate this decision to all relevant parties within your county, including leagues, clubs and referees? Regards Neale Barry Head of Senior Referee Development |
