Summer Season Rules

There are a few special rules/condition for the 7v7 weeknight summer season to facilitate play on smaller fields with shorter halves.

No slide tackles
Goalkeeper cannot punt the ball – must throw ball
Goal kicks must make contact with the ground or a player before crossing the center line. Otherwise an indirect free kick awarded to the opponent.
Rolling substitutions - do not need to wait for a stoppage in play or permission from the officials.
No offsides (although flagrant cherry picking is discouraged and may be cautioned by the official as unsportsmanlike conduct)
One-person referee system and no team referee requirement
10 minute grace period from scheduled kickoff to have equipment in place and at least 5 players on the field – otherwise it is a forfeit. Games are only 50 minutes so don't be late
Forfeit fee is $50 and will be taken out of your deposit. If you give 72 hours advance notice, the forfeit fee will be reduced. Forfeits are also a 0-3 loss and -1 in the standings. Please no forfeits!
