[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any advice to tell my daughter who got her first yellow card today? She’s 12. The card was for repeatedly telling an opponent to stop pushing. [/quote]

I can't imagine they would give a card for that. There's got to be something else. Maybe she kept complaining to the ref. [/quote]

At that age, I can see a ref doing it to teach a lesson. A free kick in the middle of the field isn't really much of an advantage, so it's no consequence for the kid [/quote]

I agree with the previous poster that I CANNOT imagine a ref giving a kid a yellow card (at any age) for repeatedly telling an opponent to stop pushing. What is the YC for? There's no rule against telling an opponent to stop pushing...even repeatedly. You can do that 1000 times and no card. So as to teach a lesson? What lesson? If the referee gave a card for this, the lesson is that ... there are really crappy refs out there, just keep playing. Referees typically don't like giving YCs to 12 year old girls and, for some reason, and this sounds like rec. So referees don't like pulling cards to 12 year old rec girls. Your daughter must have don't something else. But with that said, she got a YC. It's fine. It happens. It's part of the game and there will be times where she will have to make a tactical foul (Stopping a Promising Attack) that will be an automatic YC, but it might save a goal and is the SMART thing to do. You just move on.[/quote]
