Rules of the Game

The Field of Play – The field of play is the surface on which the game of soccer is played on. This law regulates everything regarding line markings; the dimensions of the soccer field that will be used will be half the size of a regular full field. The dimensions of the goal post are also adjusted according to the size of the field (the goal post is 48” high X 72” wide).
The Number of Players – a team can have 7 players and a goalkeeper on the field and 3 on the bench (total = 10 players). If girls will be playing, have at least 2 girls on your team.
The Player’s Equipment – Each team will wear a type B jersey or a uniform of their choice. Each player would then wear a shirt or jersey, shoes with rubber soles, shin pads (optional), shorts and socks. No spikes except rubber spikes. Bibs will be provided if both teams have similar uniforms.
Referee – There will be one referee for each game, assisted by two coaches who will act as linesmen. The referee is the sole decision maker.
The Duration of Matches – Standard matches are limited to 15 minutes per half, even when the ball is out of play, during substitutions, etc.

Every match must have a winner. In the event of a tie, sudden death will be used to determine the winner, with each team taking 3 penalty kicks.

Each team will have 10 minutes to field a minimum of 5 players based on the scheduled game time. However, if the team is not present after 15 minutes, the match will be forfeited.
