This is simply a safety issue, dogs and kids don't always mix. Please leave them at home. Officials will ask you to leave whether you bring a chihuahua, a great dane or everything in between. When accessing or leaving your field, try not to walk onto the adjacent fields where games are in progress. Please, pick up your trash on the sideline before you leave.
Soccer is intended to be a continuous action sport.
Whenever possible, the referee will let play continue. Of course, the referee will stop play if a player needs immediate attention or would be endangered by continuing play. However, accidental contact between hands or arms and the ball occurs frequently, especially with younger players, and is not an infringement. In such cases, the referee will not stop play, since no breach of the Laws has occurred. The ball must be thrown from behind and over the head, using both hands.
