Yesterday I was at a lower level tournament and during one of my games a player runs off of the field and behind the bench to get a drink of water. He then tries to run back onto the field at which point I stopped him and told him I would not caution him for leaving the field without permission but he would have to stay out until the opportunity to sub in. At halftime I explained to the coach that he need to keep his players on the field and hand them water. Should I have carded the player or was the way I handled it acceptable?
