General Rules of the Facility In addition to our league rules, all visitors to our facility must adhere to our facility rules. · Individuals using the facility do so at their own risk. The operator assumes no liability for any injuries or accidents, which may occur. · No food, beverages, chewing gum or tobacco products are permitted within the soccer centre (water bottles are permitted on player benches. Please respect this rule as the makeup of the FieldTurf playing surface restricts excessive cleaning) Please respect the needs of other user groups in the facility at all times! · Finally, remember that the Canlan Indoor Soccer Centre is a private facility and anyone who does not act or behave in an appropriate manner can be disqualified from participation in our leagues and also barred from entering our property and premises. Any such decision to bar any individual from our facility will be the decision of the facility general manager and is NON APPEALABLE! Law Changes and Amendments All changes and amendments to the Canlan Indoor Soccer Laws shall take effect at the beginning of a new season, unless deemed by the league management to be directly linked to player safety, whereby changes can be imposed during mid season. In these situations, law changes must clearly be posted on the league notice board at field level. CANLAN LAWS OF INDOOR SOCCER-YOUTH All games are to be played under the recognized FIFA laws of the game. However, the following rules have been adapted for the facility and may differ from those of similar indoor facilities. FIELD OF PLAY 195 feet x 80 feet (enclosed by dasher boards and glass) EQUIPMENT Due to insurance requirements, all players are required to wear shin-guards at all times. Sweat pants or track pants may be worn IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPOSED METAL (snaps or zippers). The game referee will decide what is and is not safe. The only prohibited footwear is metal tipped cleats. All other soccer shoes or running shoes are permitted. Either a regulation size 4 or 5 soccer ball shall be used, depending on age group. NUMBER OF PLAYERS Each team will have a total of 6 players on the field, plus the goalie. PLAYER ELIGIBILITY All players must have filled out and signed a registration form with the league manager (or assistant) before playing their first game. It shall be the responsibility of the coach to ensure that all players on their team are properly registered and eligible to play under our laws, before each game. PLAYER’S BENCH AREA Only those players that are eligible to play, plus 1 coach, are allowed at the player bench area during the course of a game. This area is defined as anywhere past the yellow step that leads to the benches. At no time are spectators allowed in the player’s bench area during a game SUBSTITUTIONS Unlimited “on the fly” substitutions are permitted. However, any player who is leaving the field must be within the yellow box in front of the player’s benches before another player can enter the field. Otherwise, an illegal substitution will occur. LENGTH OF GAME Two (2) x 25 minute halves. (for the U11 Girls Select division) One 40 minute game (plus a five minute on-field warm-up time (for all other divisions) SLIDE TACKLING
GAME PLAY (BALL IN PLAY VS. OUT OF PLAY) The ball is considered out of play when: · It makes contact with the perimeter netting · It makes contact with the building structure/ lights/ roof · It goes into the player area or over the side netting Play shall be re-started with a direct free kick by the team that did not touch the ball last, from a point closest to where the ball made contact with the netting or structure, or otherwise left the field of play. The exterior boards and glass are considered part of the playing area. BALL OUT OF BOUNDS (END ZONE) If the ball is last touched by an offensive player and then touches the netting behind the goal, play will be re-started by a “throw-out” by the goalkeeper, from within the goal crease area. The goaltender does not need to wait for the referee to blow their whistle and can do a “quick throw” if they desire. If the ball touches the end netting and was last touched by a defensive player, play will be restarted by a corner kick by the offensive team from one of the marked corner kick spots. Corner kicks, like all indoor free kicks, are direct. GOALKEEPERS Goalies can only use their hands within the crease area and not after a deliberate pass back from a teammate. The FIFA 6-second rule is in effect. If the goalie takes possession of the ball outside the crease, they may not dribble the ball back into the crease and then use their hands. 3 LINE VIOLATIONS (Offside) Will not be called, so as to avoid confusion among younger players that may be new to the offside concept. Players who are not coming back on defense will be encouraged by the referee to "get back" with the rest of their team. FREE KICKS All free kicks are direct. Free kicks are awarded will either be a direct free kick or a direct penalty shot. For all free kicks, defending players must remain a minimum of 10 feet (3 metres) away from the spot from where the free kick is to be taken. All free kicks must originate from outside the goal crease area. Any free kick occurring from with in the goal crease area (for instance, when the defending team kicks the ball up and it hits the ceiling) shall be moved back to the nearest point outside the crease.
Male players will shoot from the closest spot that is marked. “SAFETY ZONE” With the addition of the new perimeter line on our field, we have named the area OUTSIDE the line as the SAFETY ZONE. The amount of contact and checking that is allowed in the safety zone will be limited and will be governed by the following additional rules. 1. No hard, overly physical or excessive physical contact (whether intentional or not) will be allowed in the safety zone. Allowable contact will be limited to the “on the ball” contact only. 2. Players will be expected to keep the ball moving. Incidents can arise from players hacking at a pinned ball. 3. Players with possession of the ball can NOT put there foot on the ball or pin the ball against the boards. If they do so, they lose possession of the ball. 4. Players can not “squeeze out” opposing players into the boards. Squeezing out (or pinching) refers to the taking of a path that causes the opposing player to go into the boards because the forward path was denied. This will be considered a form of obstruction.
CANLAN INDOOR SOCCER LEAGUE SCORING 2 points awarded for a win 1 point awarded for a tie A forfeit or No-Show will result in a 1-0 win for their opponents NEW - The maximum winning margin for any game will be 6 goals (so that there is less incentive to run up the score on weaker teams). Example would be that if the actual score in a game ends up 12-1, the official score will be recorded as 7-1
Divisions with an odd number of teams and who end up playing an un-even number of games, will have their playoff seeding positions decided by WINNING PERCENTAGE. A tie counts as half a win and half a loss, therefore a record of 6-3-1 converts to 6.5wins and 3.5 losses, which is a .650 winning percentage. Playoff Scoring Should 2 teams be tied in points when determining playoff positions, the following tiebreak method will be used. 1. head-to-head record 2. Goal differential (based on all league games played that season) 3. Coin Toss
