Soccer Rules for Parents

The Soccer Rules for Parents: A Quick Guide to Understanding Rules and Referee Decisions to Better Enjoy, Explain, and Become Experts in the Game is for parents who want to understand what’s actually happening on the field. Youth games get derailed less by bad calls and more by adults who don’t know the rules. This book covers the basics that tend to cause the most confusion, including offsides, fouls, and how cards are used, in a way that’s easy to follow if you didn’t grow up with the sport. It won’t turn you into a referee, but it will help you follow the game, explain it to your kid, and avoid being the parent yelling about things you don’t fully understand.
