WPA Junior Referee Examination Question Pool 2024
1. Should you speak to young players while refereeing?
Yes, sometimes if they are close to you and it is clear that they don’t understand what is going on
No, referees should not speak to players
No, speaking to the players would confuse them
Yes, you should speak to them every time you make a call
2. Should you call fouls into the area being controlled by the other referee?
Yes, but only if it is an ordinary foul
No, because you can’t call fouls into the other referee’s area
Yes, because you don’t want the players getting away with any fouls
Sometimes, if you are certain the other referee is not in a position to see an obvious exclusion or penalty
3. If an attacker has the ball in their hand and a defender holds the arm of the attacker, what do you call?
An exclusion for the foul of holding
A free throw for an ordinary foul in a tackle
Nothing because the attacker is holding the ball
A free throw for an ordinary foul in a tackle
4. An attacker has possession of the ball but is not holding it and a defender is pressing. The attacker ducks their head under water, what do you do? This is the first time this player has done this action
Call an exclusion because the defender is obviously holding them
Give the attacker a free throw because they are only young
Call a turnover for simulation against the attacker
Call nothing because the attacker is clearly trying to get a foul for nothing
5. Which of these is NOT the way a player can take a free throw?
Throwing the ball up and catching it
Spinning the ball on the hand

Passing the ball
6. What must a defender do after a perimeter foul is given to the player they are marking?
a. and c. are correct
Immediately begin moving back, even if the attacker simultaneously plays the ball
Stay near the attacker but not put their hand up?
Move away from the attacker by about 1 metre before raising an arm to block
7. Why is it generally not a good idea for the referee to give a centre forward a free throw unless they are in danger of losing the ball?
You have to wait to see if the centre forward is pushing off
Because fouls on a centre forward should be penalties
A free throw takes away a centre forward’s chance to shoot for goal
You can’t give free throws to a centre forward, only exclusions
