Rules
Every player is expected to know these before stepping on the field.
Format
- 01
Games are played 6v6: five outfielders and one goalkeeper per team.
- 02
Halves are 20 minutes each, 40 minutes total, with about 3 minutes for halftime.
- 03
The clock never stops unless the ball leaves the field (the gated area).
Play
- 04
A player cannot score directly off a kick-in unless the ball touches another player, including the goalkeeper, before it goes in -- except on a corner kick.
- 05
If a player passes the ball back to the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper cannot pick it up.
- 06
The offside rule will not be enforced.
- 07
Slide tackles are not allowed. Blocks are permitted at the referee’s discretion.
Conduct
- 08
Fighting, cussing, or any other misbehavior can result in a yellow or red card and potential disqualification from the rest of the league -- and possibly future leagues.
- 09
Blue cards will be enforced. A blue card ejects a player from the game for about two minutes, during which their team plays a man down.
- 10
The referee’s calls are final. Arguing a call may result in a yellow card.
Gear
- 11
No jewelry is allowed during games.
- 12
Players must wear a jersey with their name on it at every game, or they will receive a yellow card.
