GAME RULES

4v4
  1. All players must play in each half.
  2. All 4v4 games will do kick-ins, rather than throw-ins. Throw-ins are not allowed in all 4v4 games.
  3. Substitutions should occur at the midfield line. The player subbing in, should allow the player coming off, to leave the field before the player subbing enters the field. 
  4. Heading is not permitted. If a player intentionally heads a ball, the other team will be awarded an indirect free kick. (When an indirect kick is awarded, it is taken from the spot where the foul was committed. The player taking the kick cannot touch the ball again until it has touched another player-- and if the indirect kick goes into the goal before touching another player, a goal kick is awarded.
7v7
  1. All players must play in each half.
  2. Substitutions should occur at the midfield line. The player subbing in, should allow the player coming off, to leave the field before the player subbing enters the field. 
  3. Heading is not permitted. If a player intentionally heads a ball, the other team will be awarded an indirect free kick. (When an indirect kick is awarded, it is taken from the spot where the foul was committed. The player taking the kick cannot touch the ball again until it has touched another player-- and if the indirect kick goes into the goal before touching another player, a goal kick is awarded.)
  4. All 7v7 games will play with a build-out line. Here is a link to a video to explain this concept:  BUILD OUT VIDEO LINK
