Question Number: 16031Law 8 - Start and Restart of Play 7/14/2007RE: competive Adult edwin of kannapolis, north carolina USA asks...after a goal
The referee must give the OK to start the game again or the players can start without his Ok Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol Law 8 gives the procedure for a kickoff. One of the bullet points is:
* the referee gives a signal
Normally that signal is a whistle, but it could be an arm motion or talking to the players. It would be best if the ref is consistent. If she whistles for the kickoff at the beginning of the game, she has established his "signal" and should continue to use it throughout the game.
