Club Umpire Program Senior

A player in possession of the ball can fend off a tackler by pushing with an open hand to the chest or side. This is true because in certain situations, a player who is in possession of the ball is allowed to use their hand or arm to push away a tackler in order to maintain control of the ball and avoid being tackled. This is known as fending off and is a legal move in the game.

If a player carries the ball across the boundary line after an "out of bounds" signal, they should hand the ball to the Boundary umpire or place it on the ground if the umpire is not in the area. This is because the Boundary umpire is responsible for making decisions regarding the ball being out of bounds and they need to have control of the ball to make the appropriate call.

"Running too far" is the correct answer because it suggests that the signal being referred to is a penalty for a player running beyond the allowed distance in the game. This penalty is often called "running too far" and is commonly enforced in sports like rugby or Australian rules football. The other options, such as "Illegal shepherd," "Ball up," and "Mark," do not accurately describe the given signal.

Each team is permitted to have 4 players in the centre square for the centre bounce.

The correct answer is 1 because the question asks how many opponents may stand a player's mark, and the answer is that only one opponent can stand on the mark. The other options are not correct because they do not specify the number of opponents that can stand on the mark.

The signal shown in the image is indicating a "Push in the back".

The signal being described is "Ball Up." This signal is typically used in Australian Rules Football to indicate that the ball will be thrown up into the air to restart play after a stoppage.

The signal shown in the question is indicating "Holding the player". This signal is commonly used in sports such as basketball or football to indicate a foul where a player is holding onto an opponent, preventing their movement. This signal is used by referees or officials to communicate this specific foul to players, coaches, and spectators.

The given signal is described as "Too High." This suggests that the ball being thrown is at a higher position than desired or expected.

When applying a bump/Shepherd, a player must be within 5 meters of the ball.

The correct answer is "Player is actively bleeding." This means that the player is currently experiencing bleeding, which would require them to be ordered off the field through the Blood Rule. The other statements do not necessarily indicate active bleeding and would not warrant the same action.

The correct answer is "Free Kick (Too High)" because in Australian rules football, if a player kicks the ball and it goes too high without being touched by any other player, it is considered a free kick to the opposing team. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent dangerous high kicks that could potentially harm other players.

If a player attempts to play on other than move in a direct line over the mark, the field umpire should call and indicate "Play On". This means that the player has not correctly followed the rules and must continue with the game without stopping. The umpire's call and indication serve as a signal to both teams and ensure that the game continues smoothly without any interruptions.

The signal in question is "End of Game". This signal is used to indicate that the game has reached its conclusion and is now over. It is commonly used in sports events to signify the end of play and the final result of the game.

When kicking for goal from a mark taken outside the goal square, a player should be lined up with the centre of the goal line. This means that the player should position themselves in the middle of the goal line to have the best angle and accuracy for their kick. By aligning themselves with the centre of the goal line, the player increases their chances of successfully scoring a goal.

If a player has had a prior opportunity and is in the act of kicking or handballing and is tackled, swinging them off balance without making contact with the ball, the correct decision is to award a free kick for incorrect disposal. This means that the player did not dispose of the ball correctly and will be penalized for it.

When a player punches the ball over the boundary line on the full from a ruck contest during a boundary throw in, a free kick is awarded against the player. This means that the opposing team will receive a free kick as a penalty for the player's action.

The team captain is responsible for requesting a head count of the opposing team. This is because the team captain is the designated leader and representative of the team, and it is their role to communicate with the opposing team and the umpires. Requesting a head count is important for ensuring fair play and verifying that the opposing team has the correct number of players on the field.

A ball must travel a distance of 15m in order to be awarded a mark.

According to the given information, during a kick-in from fullback after a behind is scored, no player shall be allowed within 5 meters of the goal square.

Players are not permitted to enter the centre square from when the field umpire commences his/her approach to bounce/throw the ball. This is a rule in Australian Rules Football where players must wait until the field umpire starts their approach before they can enter the centre square. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent any advantage or disadvantage to either team.

If a player with No Prior Opportunity has his arms pinned to his side in a legal tackle, causing the ball to drop free, the decision is to play on. This means that the umpire will allow the game to continue without stopping play or awarding a free kick or penalty. The player in this situation is considered to have had no realistic chance to dispose of the ball, so play will continue as normal.

The team count takes place in the centre square.

The term "Spirit of the Laws" refers to the principles and values that guide umpires when making decisions. It implies that umpires should not only follow the literal rules, but also consider the overall fairness and integrity of the game. This concept emphasizes the importance of upholding the spirit and intent of the laws, rather than just adhering to the technicalities. By abiding by the Spirit of the Laws, umpires ensure that their decisions are fair and in line with the spirit of the game.
