Do not re-start the game until the coach has left the vicinity of the field and the coach may not have any contact with the team until the game is finished or if you have a coach or spectator that is giving you problems and you feel you need help, stop the game, collect the ball, find a senior referee and ask for help.

The game of inspiration.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." David Beckham - Nike
