Steps

FAZRUL KAMAT_MALAYSIA REFEREE

 Why is it very important to not allow 4 and more steps why do we have to

be more precise in the evaluation of step faults ?

wrong team has the ball
attacking player gets an incorrect advantage
correct trained defending behaviour is not enough anymore
more progressive punishments will be applied
even more 7-m decisions will be applied
incorrect goals are given

Not only a single, but a multiple disadvantage for the defending team
!!! --- therefore improve !

 How can a referee learn to be better in steps ?

Further helps be careful with:

o To big distances
o When starts the 1:1-situation (zero, 1 or 2 ?)
o Wackler foot on the floor or rized
o Turn around the own axis
o stop after fast moving

Steps: Theoretical part whats the first step ?

Normal forward moving player is attending the ball (picture 1 and 2)

Player takes the ball, while having contact with floor with right foot (picture 3) 1st step ??
No
with the next floor-contact with left foot (picture 4) 1st step or not
yes 1st step
Means: in normal forward moving 1st step is immediately done when putting the next foot on
the floor after getting the ball.
