Rules To Remember
No Sliding
Sliding and 3 points of contact are considered to be playing in a dangerous manner.
No Heading
All U-11 and younger leagues will not allow intentional heading of the ball. When a player deliberately heads the ball in a match, the opposing team is awarded an indirect free kick (IFK) at the spot of the offense.
5 Goal Rule
If a team is up by 5 goals or more, the opposing team is given the option to add another player to the field. Note: If opposing team arrives at a 2 goal difference, extra player will be removed.
3 Line Violation
A 3 line infraction occurs when the ball crosses, in the air, over both white lines without touching the wall, player, or the ground. This will result in a free kick from the white line closest to the original kick. Exception: Passing the ball over 3 lines toward your own goal is allowed.
What to Wear
-
Goalkeeper Attire: The goalkeeper must wear colors that distinguish them from all other players.
-
Shin Guards & Socks: Are REQUIRED for all players. Socks must be worn over shin guards.
-
Jewelry: A player may not wear jewelry (watches, bracelets, etc.) that is dangerous to themselves or other players. This may be at the discretion of the referee.
