Over nearly forty years as a player, coach, soccer parent and ref, I’ve never seen this one before. Curious how others would have handled it… U16 girls on a fairly chilly morning, but as the sun started to come out, it was starting to get warmer. One team in black and the other in blue, but several players in blue appear to have black long sleeve shirts under their jerseys.
Black is taking a goal kick, which goes past me towards the touch line. As I turn to follow the play I realize one of the blue players moving toward the ball, jersey in hand, wearing an all black long sleeve shirt! (My best guess was she was trying to remove the long sleeve shirt.)
I stopped play, instructed the players to keep their shirts on while on the field of play, and had black retake the goal kick once everyone was fully dressed again.
Did I handle this right? Anyone know the correct procedure for “player removes their own shirt during play.”
