Rule 3-3-2b(2)

There is much misunderstanding about what actions constitute a keeper having to leave the game. A player “attended to on the field or who is deemed injured by the referee shall leave the field and may be replaced.”

Goalkeeper InjuryRule 3-3-2b(2)

• The following are the procedures that are to be followed when a field player or goal keeper appear to be injured:

• Field player – if a field player appears to be injured, the referee, with the clock running, can check to determine the extent of the injuries and if a player needs attention. If the referee determines that the injury requires the player to be attended to or leave the game, the referee should immediately stop the clock and beckon the coach or medical personnel to attend to the player. Once the clock is stopped for a field player, that player must leave the game.

Goalkeeper InjuryRule 3-3-2b(2)

• Goalkeeper – If the goalkeeper is injured, the referee can stop the clock, check the goal keeper to determine the extent of the injury, and allow the goal keeper a short time to be ready for play. If the referee determines that the goalkeeper needs attention, the referee should immediately call the coach or medical personnel to attend to the player. When a coach or medical personnel are called onto the field to attend to a goalkeeper, the goalkeeper must leave the game.
