Practices will be held on Friday evenings, led by professional coaches from Soccer Shots and games will be held on Saturdays
- Substitutions: Coaches may substitute on any throw in, goal kick for either team or after any goal is scored.
- Direct Kicks: Kicking, tripping, holding, hand ball, jumping in, tackling from behind. These fouls result in a penalty shot when done inside penalty box unless identified below. If these fouls are intentional, players removed from the gae. Corner kicks and tap are also direct.
- Indirect Kicks: (Ball touched by at least two players before it goes in the goal, the player taking the kick and one more player from either team.) Obstruction, off sides, unsportsmanlike conduct, slide tackling, dangerous play (lying on the ground near ball or foot too high in the air). If repeated, yellow card can be given.
- Goalkeepers: Can use their hands inside the penalty box and have 6 seconds to distribute the ball. (Encourage quick distribution) Keepers can NOT pick up a ball played back by their teammates’ feet. (They can pick up a ball deflected or hit with another body part.)
- Throw-ins: Straight over the head, both feet on or behind the touchline. If incorrect, the other takes throw. (Can’t go directly in goal.)
- Playing Time: All players are to get equal playing time and no goalkeeper can play in goal for more than 1 period per game.
