Coaches Thank you for coaching! You are making a difference for kids in this community. Review the posted Spring 2018 Rules Bring a game card, roster and smile to each game. Enter the final score on the schedule website in a timely manner. You are responsible for the conduct of your players, parents, bench, friends, and spectators at all times Ref fees: you are responsible for half If forfeit, responsible for full amount. Do not run up the score. A 5 point margin is acceptable. Anything higher and you receive a bad sportsmanship message. Be creative: move players around, minimum pass count, two touch only etc. Concussions: take the online course and learn how to identify symptoms.

Games Build Out Line for ALL 7v7 games U8, U9, and U10 (2010-2008) 1. The field will include Build Out Lines to promote individual skills and facilitate game flow. It promotes playing the ball out of the back in a less pressured setting and teaches players how to receive, dribble and pass. 2. The Build Out Line will be defined as a line across the width of the field half-way between the penalty area and the halfway line on any field. For U8 fields which only have a goal area, it will be half-way between the goal area and the halfway line. 3. When the GK has the ball in his/her hands during play from the opponent, the opposing team must move behind the Build Out Line until the ball is put into play. 4. Once the opposing team is behind the Build Out Line, the GK can pass (with their own feet), throw or roll the ball into play. PUNTING OR DROP KICKING IS NOT ALLOWED BY THE GK. 5. Ideally the GK will wait to put the ball into play once all opponents are behind the Build Out Line. However, the GK can put the ball into play sooner but he/she does so accepting the positioning of the opponents and the consequences of how play resumes. 6. After the ball is put into play by the GK the opposing team can immediately cross the Build Out Line and play resumes as normal. 7. Per Law 12, the GK has 6 seconds to put the ball into play. Counting time of possession should only begin when all opponents have moved behind the Build Out Line. Referees should be flexible when enforcing this rule. 8. If the team GK does not put the ball into play within 6 seconds, an indirect free kick shall be awarded to the opposing team from the center of the Build Out Line.
Games Build Out line Punting of the Ball by the Goalkeeper ONLY applies to 7v7 games, U8, U9, and U10 age groups 1. Drop kicks, volley kicks, etc. are NOT PERMITTED by the GK. Drop kick, volley kicks, etc. will be considered a punt. No type of kick by the goalkeeper is permitted when they have the ball in their hands. The GK must throw, roll or drop the ball to their feet and either dribble or distribute the ball. 2. If a GK punts or drop kicks the ball, the GK will be given the opportunity to restart again. A second offense shall result in an indirect free kick for the opposing team from the spot of the offense. 3. If the punt or drop kick occurs within the goal area the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred. 4. For goal kicks, the opposing team must move behind the Build Out Line until the ball is put into play. After the ball is put into play by the player taking the goal kick the opposing team can immediately cross the Build Out Line. 5. The Build Out line is only used for possession by the goalkeeper during live play or at the taking of goal kicks. All other restarts by the defending team within the Build Out area do not require the opposing team to retreat beyond the Build Out line. This includes direct free kicks awarded for fouls, or indirect free kicks resulting from offside or other infractions. 6. As with all free kicks or goal kicks taken by a team within their own goal or penalty area, the ball must completely leave the penalty area before it is considered in play. If it does not leave the area, or it is touched by any other player prior to leaving, the kick is retaken. For U8 fields, only a goal area exists, therefore the ball must leave this area to be in play.
Games Offside Modifications for U8, U9, and U10: 1. The Build Out Line will also be used to denote where offside offenses can be called. 2. Players cannot be penalized for an offside offense between the halfway line and the Build Out Line. 3. Players can be penalized for an offside offense between the Build Out Line and the goal line. 4. In the U8 division, only the most blatant offside infractions will be penalized, at the judgment of the Referee. Deliberate Heading (2012-2007) U6-U11 (applies to the combined Rec 2006/2007 (U12) division): 1. If a player deliberately heads the ball during play, an indirect free kick (IFK) should be awarded to the opposing team at the spot of the offense, unless it is within the penalty area. Offenses anywhere within the penalty area result in an IFK on the penalty area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred. In other words, move the free kick to the TOP of the penalty area. 2. If a player does not deliberately head the ball, then play should continue. 3. There can be no additional sanctions for repeated infringements (i.e. no cautions for Persistent Infringement if a player continues to deliberately head the ball). 4. There can be no send-off if a player denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity by deliberately heading the ball.
Games Number of Players: (U6-U7) 2012-2011 - 2 games side by side will be played 4 v 4. Minimum of 3 players on each field will be required to start the game. (U8-U10) 2010-2008 - Games will be 7 v 7. A minimum of 5 players will be required to start the game. (U11/U12) 2007- Games will be 9 v 9. A minimum of 6 players will be required to start the game. (U12 Rec Gold)-U19) 2006-1999 - Games will be 11 v 11. A minimum of 7 players will be required to start the game. If teams fail to field the minimum number of players after 15 minutes of the scheduled start time the game is forfeit. The forfeiting team will be required to pay the full referee fees for that game.
