Ragdoll Soccer Referees: How to Play on Pro Servers

Which Mode Has Referees?

Ragdoll Soccer referees are part of 8v8 pro servers, where the match format includes penalties, free kicks, throw-ins, VAR, and offsides. Choose this mode if you want those soccer rules alongside the game's physics-based action. The mode you select matters when you're looking for that full match setup.

Here’s how the main multiplayer formats break down:

• 8v8 pro servers: Matches with referees and the expanded rules above.
• 4v4 quickplay: A separate format with smaller teams.
• Clubs: Queue for 4v4 matches with your friends.

Open the Play menu and look for the pro server option when you want referees. If you're organizing a club session, remember that Clubs queues your group into 4v4 matches.

Can You Open a Private Match With Referees?

The Private 8v8 Servers game pass costs 49 Robux and lets you open your own private 8v8 Pro server whenever you want, as often as you like.

Friends can find your server in the 8v8 server browser and join you. Anyone already inside can invite additional players, giving your group another way to bring people into the match.

For a private Pro session:

1. Open your private 8v8 Pro server using the pass.
2. Have friends join through the 8v8 server browser.
3. Invite more players from inside the server.

You can access the experience through the Ragdoll Soccer Roblox page.

Practice Your Shooting Before Joining Pro Servers

Use Practice mode to work through movement, shooting basics, power shots, curve shots, and lobs before joining an 8v8 match. Start with aiming: shots travel where you look, so camera direction is part of controlling the ball.

Work through these shooting controls:

• Left mouse button: Shoot; hold to charge a kick.
• Look down: Keep your shot low.
• Look up: Add height to the shot.
• Q or E: Apply curve during the curve-shot lesson.
• 2, then left mouse button: Select the lob and tap a soft chip.

Practice low shots before adding more height and power. For the power-shot drill, sprint toward the ball and use a fully charged kick. Then try the lob lesson against the goalkeeper to practice placing a softer shot over a defender in goal.
