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.
