Christ the King Community Football Coaching

30/08/2026

🚨 From the start of the 2026/27 season, a referee at a grassroots match in England can stop the game, send both teams to their penalty areas and call the coaches and captains into the centre circle — and they can do it twice. If a third stop is needed, the match is abandoned. The FA calls them "cooling-off periods", and after a County FA pilot they are now rolling out nationally. Here's what that means for your child's team on a Sunday morning.⤵

Imagine a weekend where no grassroots referees face abuse. It’s really that simple.

If you ever feel yourself getting frustrated at an U10 match and tempted to yell at the ref, take a step back and remember: it’s just an U10 match, and the referee is likely a 14-year-old kid. They won’t see it as “passion”; they’ll see it as “aggressive and abusive.”

So instead, take a breath, relax, and enjoy the game. You’ll find it’s much more enjoyable that way. Let’s treat young referees the way we’d want our own children to be treated. Will they make mistakes? Of course! That’s part of sport.

But does that give us the right to berate them? Absolutely not.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone! ⚽
