Following a successful trial period, The FA are bringing in temporary dismissals, or sin-bins, from the start of the 2019/20 season.

Sin-bins will become mandatory for all leagues at Step 7 or below in the men’s game, Step 5 and below in the women’s game, and for all junior football leagues across the country.

The move will aim to reduce and put a stop to dissent received by referees on a regular basis, and the Derbyshire County FA will be providing ‘sin-bin training’ across the county to ensure that referees, teams and leagues are fully prepared for the start of the season.

Temporary dismissals (sin-bins) were first trialled across 31 leagues in the country during the 2017/18 season and survey results demonstrated an impressive impact.
