Slide Tackles: Futsal is a minimum contact sport. However, some contact may occur, as long as it is done in a legal manner. It cannot be done by play that is careless, reckless, or with excessive force. Slide tackling is allowed in futsal under certain conditions, if in the opinion of the referee: 1) No opponents are nearby, a player may slide to intercept or direct the ball. No foul results. 2) The slide is dangerous to an opponent, but no contact is made. Dangerous play foul results in an Indirect Free Kick. 3) Contact is made with an opponent in a careless, reckless or excessive force manner (or if referees believe that such

13 contact could have resulted). An accumulated foul results in a Direct Free Kick. Exceptions The GK is allowed to slide in an attempt to clear a free ball, if in referees judgment, the slide is an attempt to only make contact with the ball, not the opponent. If GK slide is at least careless (a foot head on, in air, a hook, rolling tackle) it is a foul and possibly a cardable offense. A field player may slide in instances where there is not an opponent close by and no injury is likely to occur. This would most likely happen when a player is attempting to stop the ball from going out of bounds or an offensive player sliding to knock the ball into the goal where there are not other defensive players close to the play. Players and coaches should use this general rule. If you slide tackle near a player, assume a foul may be called. Futsal Court GOALKEEPER BOX
