What happens if I get a yellow card?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under NFHS rules, a cautioned player must leave the field. Your team may replace you. When a caution is given, the cautioned player's team can bring on a substitute from the bench. If you're not replaced, you can re-enter at your team's next legal substitution opportunity. A second yellow card in the same game means ejection, and you can't be replaced. Common reasons for a caution include: entering or leaving the field without the referee's permission persistent infringement dissent delaying the restart encroaching on free kicks and corner kicks unsporting conduct, such as taunting, excessive or prolonged celebration, holding, faking an injury, simulating a foul, reckless play, illegal equipment, kicking or throwing the ball away, or stopping a promising attack confronting an official during an interval without permission (only captains may address officials then) using tobacco, alcohol or a controlled substance
