3 Rules of the Game Field Dimensions: The playing field will be the size of a regulation basketball court. The outside lines of the basketball court will be used as out of bounds lines for the field. Games are played on a hardwood gym floor. No Offsides in 5v5 Soccer. Game is played a goalie and 4 players on the field. No Slide Tackling: Players must stay upright and on their feet and may not make contact with an opposing player. Goal Scoring: A goal may only be scored from a touch (offensive or defensive). Goals cannot be scored from kick in s. The Goal Box: The goal box will be defined. Goalies cannot touch the ball with their hands outside the goal box. Game Duration: The game shall consist of two 16-minute halves separated by a three minute halftime period. The referee will determine who starts with the ball. Games tied at the end of the game will play a 3 minute sudden death over time with a Golden Goal (first team to score wins). If still tied after sudden death then 3 kicks from the mark if tied after that then alternating kicks until a winner. A team, at the referee s discretion, will forfeit at game time if they are not present and ready to play. There are no time outs during 5v5 games. Penalty Kicks: Shall be awarded if, in the referee s opinion, a scoring opportunity was nullified by an infraction (the infraction does not automatically result in a red card). It is a direct kick taken from the designated mark. This is a dead-ball kick. If a goal is not scored, the defense obtains possession with an indirect kick in. Hand Ball Clarification: Deliberate handling of the ball that denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal scoring opportunity will result in a penalty kick and the player committing the offense receiving a red card. Five Yard Rule: In all dead ball situations, defending players must stand at least five yards away from the ball. If the defensive player s goal is closer than five yards, the ball shall be placed five yards from the goal box, in line with the place of the penalty. Kick In s: The ball shall be kicked into play from the sideline instead of thrown in. The ball is considered in play when the ball is touched with a foot and moves on full rotation. The ball must be stopped before putting back into play. You cannot score from a kick in. Direct Kicks: All kicks, except kick in s, are direct. Penalties in the boxed area are penalty kicks taken from the designated mark. Indirect Kicks: Kick in s are indirect kicks. Goal Kicks: Goal kicks will be taken by throw in and not kick in. Throw in s cannot pass mid court. The ball has to hit the ground before mid court or the result is an indirect kick. Goalies can throw beyond the mid court if the ball was already in play. Kick Off: May be taken in any direction.

Sportsmanship is expected from all participants and spectators. Player Ejection (Red Cards): Referee s have the right to eject a player or coach from the game for continual disobedience or as a result of an incident that warrants sending off.

The player receiving the red card will automatically be suspended for the remainder of the tournament. No exceptions will be made. No refunds will be given. Sportsmanship is expected from all participants and spectators. Coach/Parent Ejection: Referees have the right to eject a coach or parent from the game for continual disobedience or as a result of an incident that warrants ejection.

Schedule Changes: It is the responsibility of the coach or team captain to check the schedule for any changes after each tournament game (you will not be notified of any schedule changes). Delay of Game: Any player may be cautioned with a yellow card if it is deemed by the referee that the player is intentionally time wasting, i.e. if a player intentionally kicks the ball long distances away from the playing area in order to waste time. Tie Games: Games tied at the end of the game will play a 3 minute sudden death over time with a Golden Goal (first team to score wins). If still tied after sudden death then 3 kicks from the mark if tied after that then alternating kicks until a winner. Scoring (In Bracket Play): Games will be scored based on the following: 6 points for a win, 3 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss, 3 additional point for a shutout, and one point per goal scored with a maximum of 6 goals. A forfeited game is scored 6-0 win for the team present. 15 points max per game.

5 Rules of the Game Continued Tie-Breakers: For teams that are tied in total points the following tie-breakers will take place. Ties between two teams will be broken based on head to head results. If more than two teams are tied, or the teams did not play head to head, the team that allowed the fewest goals will be the winner. If teams are still tied the team that had the best goal differential will be determined the winner. If teams are still tied the team scoring the most goals will be determined the winner. If teams are still tied we will flip a coin to determine the winner. Protests: Protests are strongly discouraged as this is a friendly tournament. Referee judgment calls are not grounds for a protest. Age of Participants: The age group of each team is determined by the birth date of the oldest player on the roster and based on their age grouping for the 2017 Spring/Summer season.
