Sin-bins mandatory in grassroots leagues from 2019-20 - FA

(Reuters) - English football will continue its trials of temporary dismissals across 31 grassroots leagues in the new season before making 'sin-bins' mandatory for all leagues at Step Seven and below from 2019-20, the Football Association (FA) said on Monday.

Sin-bins were introduced in select divisions in England's Step Seven -- the lowest tier of the National League system -- and lower leagues last year, with the focus on countering dissent.
