Full League Rules
Rule Summary:
5 players (4 field players + 1 goalkeeper)
No slide-tackling is allowed by outfield players, however goalkeepers may go to ground and slide within their box. The re-start for a slide-tackle that is NOT a foul is an indirect free kick.
All out-of-bounds restarts & free kicks are indirect (sideline kick-ins, goal kicks, kick-offs, etc.). The only direct free kicks are Corner kicks and Penalty Kicks.
Kick-ins (not throw-ins) are taken to restart play from sideline out-of-bounds; these
kick-ins are also indirect, players cannot score from these directly.
No punting or dropkicks by the keeper.
Goal kicks and kick-ins must be taken from a dead ball.
Balls touching the roof of the net are considered out-of-bounds; an indirect free kick will
be awarded directly underneath the point of contact with the net.
Substitutions are made “on-the-fly,” as long as the player subbing in is not close enough to impact the play on the ball, they may sub as soon as another player leaves the field during play
Goalkeeper throws are considered indirect. If a ball enters the goal directly from a goalkeeper’s throw, it is a goal kick for the opposing team.
🟨 If a player is issued a yellow card, they must sit out for 2 minutes with no substitution allowed
🟥 If a player is issued a red card, they are ejected from the game (no substitution allowed). If the site manager or referee determines the foul warrants an ejection, the game will not resume until the player has left the facility.
Forfeits: If your team cannot field enough players to begin a match, or does not arrive within 10 minutes of the scheduled kickoff time, a 3-0 victory will be awarded to the opponent. If neither team arrives for a game, a 0-0 result will be recorded. Please reach out to the league administrator as far in advance as possible if you know your team may not be able to attend a match. A match reschedule may be able to be arranged with enough advance notice.
A mandatory 1 match suspension for a red card will be served immediately in the next scheduled match. Any attempt to bypass this suspension will lead to an additional red card. The player who received the card (or team captain) will identify themselves by name to the referee so the card can be properly assigned and the suspension served, otherwise the team will risk further red cards at the discretion of league management.
All red cards will be reviewed by league management. If management deems it necessary, a longer suspension will be implemented for any red card.
Red Card Accumulation: If a player is issued a red card beyond the first (at any time, red cards are cumulative between ALL seasons), they will be subject to a minimum suspension of 3 matches, up to a suspension for the rest of their season, as determined by league management.
If a player is ever issued a 3rd red card, they will be PERMANENTLY barred from participating in all Soccer in the Streets events, leagues and tournaments.
Players must respect the appropriate distance for all restarts:
During playoffs and finals, either team may request a roster check of the referee. Both teams will then be required to verify their rosters. Players not registered on the roster will be ineligible for play during these games.
