Indoor Soccer | Futsal Rules
- FIELD PLAY
(a) Futsal rules apply to field play (open & league), except where they conflict with the following rules (b) through (i).
(b) We do not allow play off the walls. There is a clearly marked touchline on both sides of the field that will be used for determining out of play.
(c) No slide tackles are allowed in the facility.
(d) Offsides rules do not apply in league or tournament play.
(e) Goal kicks may be taken from anywhere within the marked goal box. If a goal kick travels beyond center line before touching a player (either team) or before touching the field, an indirect free kick is awarded to the defensive team at center line.
(f) If the ball goes out of play at the touchlines, the last team to touch the ball loses possession & the ball is returned to play with a “kick-in” (no throw-ins)
(g) If a goalkeeper throws the ball beyond centerline before touching a player or before touching the field, the defensive team is awarded the ball at centerline.
(h) If the ball touches the ceiling netting, the last team to touch the ball loses possession and the opposing team is awarded an indirect kick from the spot of the net touch.
(i) Play resumes with an indirect kick from the spot of the infraction after fouls, handballs, or other infractions.
- BEHAVIOR POLICY
We are fortunate to have a club that maintains an indoor facility & offers league & open play. In return, the club expects players to play with fairness, respect for other players, & respect for the rules.
We rely on fairness by all players in judging out of bounds, possession on “out of bounds”, “hand-ball” calls, fouls, keeper possession of ball, etc.
Please help keep your teammates under control in the event emotions are taking over.
ANY player, spectator, or parent will be removed from the facility if they become:
- verbally or physically abusive towards any club representative (administrator/coach/assistant)
- verbally or physically abusive towards another spectator/player
If the person is refuses to leave, police will be called.
