describes the RSA administrative rules that apply to referees and assistant
referees, as well as all RSA modifications to the FIFA laws as they apply to
different age groups. This document assumes that the reader already has a
complete understanding of FIFA laws, and that only differences to FIFA laws
need be explained.

RSA, U5/U6 games are officiated by parents who are not certified referees. This
MS Word document is intended to give these referee-parents an introduction to
all laws that apply to RSA U5/U6 games.

Report must be completed within 48 hours of the game incident. The completed

scoresheets and is free and convenient. The left and right edges of the
scoresheet, which are normally covered and unavailable for writing, contains
RSA-specific rule modifications.
