FUTSAL GAME PLAY & Structure:

The Equipment: We provide a 92 x 50 foot rubber floor indoor court, regulation sized 3m x 2m Futsal Net + an official Game Ball (Futsal)

The Players: A maximum of 5 players (including a goalkeeper) may take the field at one time. A team must have at least 4 players on the pitch to start the game. If a team does not have 4 players, the game will not commence until at least 4 players have arrived. * Teams can make an unlimited amount of substitutions. Substitutions can only be made when the ball is out of play. If the player coming on assumes the goalkeeper position, then the player who was goalkeeper must either immediately remove themselves from the pitch or assume another position. The referee must be notified about the change in goalkeeper. *It is the responsibility of individual teams and team captains to ensure that they maintain the appropriate number of players on the field. It is NOT the responsibility of the referee to monitor this.

The Equipment: We provide a regulation-sized 3m x 2m Futsal Net + an official Game Ball (Futsal)

Timing:
5-minute warm-up
2 x 25 minute halves (running time)
No timeouts are permitted during the regular season
5 minute half time

REGULAR SEASON: If the game is tied 0-0 or 1-1 for example, the final score in the regular season will be recorded as a tie

PLAYOFFS TIE BREAKER: If a game is tied 0-0 or 1-1 for example, there will be a 2-minute extra time added
If the game is still tied after the extra time - We will go into a penalty shoot-out

Penalty Shoot Out: The team that wins the best of 3 penalties will win the game. If the game is still drawn after penalties, the penalties will go into ‘sudden death’. No single player can take more than one penalty unless every team member has taken a penalty themselves.

Goal Kicks: If the ball is kicked over the goal line (line in which the goal is placed) by an attacking player a goal kick is awarded to the defending team. A player of the defending team must place the ball on the ground, and then kick it to a team mate. The player cannot "kick it to themselves". The goal keeper is also allowed to throw the ball in this situation. If the player taking the goal kick touches the ball a second time before another player, the referee will blow his whistle and instruct the player that they must kick it to another player before they can touch it again. The goal kick is then retaken. If this rule is broken again, an indirect free kick shall be awarded to the attacking team from where the player touched the ball a second time.

Corner Kicks: If the ball is kicked over the goal line (line in which the goal is placed) by a defending player. A corner kick will be awarded to the attacking team. A player of the attacking team must place the ball on the ground in the corner of the field which the referee indicates, where the goal line and the sideline intersect (the corner of the field), and then kick it to another player. This player cannot ‘kick it to themselves'. If the player taking the corner kick touches the ball a second time before another player, the referee will blow his whistle and instruct the player that they must kick it to another player before they can touch it again. The corner is then retaken If this rule is broken again, an indirect free kick shall be awarded to the defending team from where the player touched the ball a second time.

Kick Ins: If the ball is kicked over the sideline by a player, a ‘kick in' is awarded to the opposing team. A kick in is taken by placing the ball on the sideline at the place where the ball was kicked out. The player taking the kick in must kick it to another player before he/she can touch the ball again. If he/she touches the ball again before another player, the referee will blow their whistle and instruct the player that another player must touch the ball after they have kicked it, before he/she can touch it again. If this rule is broken again, an indirect kick shall be awarded to the opposing team to be taken from where the infringement occurred. *Players must be 5 meters from the ball for all free kicks, kicks offs, etc. For a direct penalty, the keeper and all players adhere to the Futsal rules.

Slide Tackles: Due to safety concerns, NO slide tackles will be tolerated by the referee. If a player loses his footing while making a tackle, and as a result ends up on the ground, a free kick shall be awarded to the other team. A warning shall be given to the offending player upon their first offence. If they commit the same offence again, the referee shall show them the yellow card. If the player commits the foul after receiving the yellow card, they shall be immediately sent from the field.

Goal Keeper: The ball can be passed by the defensive team to their own goalkeeper and, provided the keeper is in the goal area, they may pick up the ball with their hands. In all instances, when in the goal area, the keeper must distribute the ball within 5 seconds of gaining control of it or an indirect free kick to the opposition team will be awarded.

Uniform and Jewellery: Athlete Institute advises that players in a team should all be wearing their team jersey. It is the responsibility of the team captain to ensure that all athletes adhere to the uniform code. Players must wear covered footwear and are NOT permitted to wear any type of screw-in studs, long blades, work boots or hiking boots. PLAYERS MUST BE WEARING INDOOR COURT SHOES OR RUNNING SHOES. If a player is not wearing appropriate footwear they will be unable to take the field. It is HIGLY RECOMMENDED that ALL players wear shin guards and mouth gaurds, however if players do not wish to wear these, they do so at their own risk. No player can take the field with bare feet or while wearing jewellery of any kind. All watches, necklaces, dangling earrings, bracelets, rings which are not bands MUST be removed prior to the game. The referee will ask any player breaking this rule to remove the piece of jewellery.

The Sin Bin: This competition is social; any rough play, abusive language, back-chat or challenge to the referees’ authority etc. will not be tolerated. Rough play includes, but is not limited to, aggressive side tackling, tackling a player from behind, or any other act or omission the referee determined in unacceptable. A referee is perfectly entitled to send off any player at any stage for any reason for any period if they feel it necessary to do so for player safety or their ability to effectively control the game. In most circumstance, however, the following procedures are followed: First Offence: Yellow Card to be given by the Referee resulting in a 2-minute suspension for the player. No substitute player can replace a player who is sent off. Second Offence: Automatic Red Card and dismissal from the game. No substitute player can replace a player who is sent off. The competition coordinator will be notified and may suspend for further games if necessary.
