The FA has confirmed to Sky Sports News HQ they will be trialling sin bins in the lower leagues of English football from the start of next season.
The proposal was discussed at an International Football Association Board (IFAB) meeting at Wembley Stadium in April, where the FA and FIFA discussed amending the 'Modifications' section of the Laws of the Game in order to improving grassroots levels and giving county FA's and leagues more freedom to police themselves.
Sin bins have been tested in UEFA's development competitions over the last three years.
The trial will not be compulsory and every league can decide to use sin bins at their own discretion.
From next season, England's Step 7 League - those that are six tiers beneath the National League - along with male and female Sunday league youth football will be allowed to introduce sin bins if they wish.
The sin bin applies to yellow cards shown for dissent and will see players leave the field of play for ten minutes.
Over 1000 clubs have been contacted and asked whether they would consider being part of the trial.
