The Goal Area: None.

The Penalty Area: None.

Flagposts: None.

The Corner Arc: Conform to FIFA.

Goals: Goals must be placed on the center of each goal line. They consist of two upright

posts equidistant from the corners and joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The

recommended distance between the posts is eighteen (18) feet and the distance from the lower edge of the crossbar to the ground is six (6) feet. Goals may be smaller in

dimension.

Teams and games may be coed.

Law 4 – The Players’ Equipment: Conform to FIFA. Non-uniform clothing is allowed

based on weather conditions, but uniforms must still distinguish teams.

Law 5 – The Referee: An OFFICIAL (Game Manager or Coordinator or Parent or Coach

or Grade 9 referee) may be used. All infringements shall be briefly explained to the offending player.

Law 6 – The Assistant Referees: None.

Law 7 – The Duration of the Match: The match shall be divided into eight (8) equal periods; each period is four (4) minutes long.

There will be a five (5) minute half-time interval between periods four and five. Substitutions are encouraged at the one minute breaks and at halftime, but allowed at any stoppage of play.

Law 8 – The Start and Restart of Play: Conform to FIFA, with the exception of the

opponents of the team taking the kick-off are at least four (4) yards from the ball until it

is in play.

Law 9 – The Ball In and Out of Play: Conform to FIFA.

Law 10 – The Method of Scoring: Conform to FIFA.

Law 11 – Offside: None.

Law 12 – Fouls and Misconduct: Conform to FIFA with the exception that all fouls shall

Law 15 – Throw-In: A throw-in is an indirect restart. A goal can not be scored directly from a throw-in without being touched by another player. In the case of an improper throw-in, it will be retaken by the same team. The referee/coach/parent should give instruction on how to do a proper throw-in. If the retake (second throw-in) is also improper, play will continue as if the throw-in was correct: this gets the game moving again. The intent of the retake is to try correcting an improper throw-in without excessively delaying the match.

was retrieved. Opposing players must be four (4) yards away from the ball until it is in
