family has created in her name.

Rules
Number of games
– The Field Manager will provide a schedule
of the three games that will be played and which
fields will be used.
Game play – A
minimum of five players must be present to start
a game. Teams must be present and ready to
play 15 minutes prior to game start time. In
the event of a team being late, the other team
shall report the matter to the Director. If
a team is not ready to play, with the minimum
number of players present, five minutes after the
scheduled game time, a forfeit will be declared
by the referee.
During the Tournament, two 25
minute periods will be played. This is a 6 v6
format for games. If games, if the score is tied,
there will be no overtime, the score will be
posted as a tie. No off-sides called.
Standard Rules of Play
Game start - The game
starts with each team in its own half of the
field and the defending players at least 10 yards
from the ball until it is kicked-off forward.
Teams switch ends at half time.
Substitutes - May be made freely at the
following points in the game: (1) Goal, (2) Half-time,
(3) Goal kicks, (4) Stoppage in play for an
injury, (5) Team's own throw-in. Substitutions
are not allowed on free kicks, penalty kicks, or
corner kicks.
Throw-ins - When the whole ball passes
outside the field of play over the sideline, a
throw-in is given to the opposite side of the
player who last touched the ball. The thrower
must leave the field of play and part of each
foot must be behind the touchline. The thrower
must use both hands and deliver the ball from
behind and over the head with both feet remaining
on the ground. The thrower cannot play the ball
again until another player has made contact with
the ball. In the case of an illegal throw, the
error is explained to the player by the referee,
and a second throw is taken. If, on the second
chance, the throw is still illegal, the ball is
given to the opposing team to throw in.
Goal kicks - Goal kicks are awarded to the
defending team when the whole ball passes over
the defending goal line if last played by an
attacking player. The kick must cross over the
penalty area line before another player touches
the ball. If the ball is not kicked beyond the
penalty area line, it is not considered a
regulation kick and the kick is retaken.
Free kicks - A direct free kick is awarded
to the opposing team if a player commits any of
the following fouls: tripping, deliberate
handling of the ball, pushing, hitting, kicking (away
from the ball), spitting, holding an opponent,
playing dangerously, abusive language, or
blocking the goalie. The infraction will be
explained to the player and a direct kick will be
awarded to the other side. Goals cannot be scored
off a free kick without being touched by another
player.
EXCEPTION: Fouls in the
penalty area always result in a penalty kick.
Ten-yard rule - At corner kicks, free
kicks, and goal kicks, the opposition must remain
at least ten yards from the ball until the kick
has been taken. At free kicks outside the penalty
area and less than ten yards from the defending
goal line, the defending team must retire onto
the goal line
Uniforms/equipment
– Each player must wear a numbered shirt the
same color as the rest of the team, shorts, socks,
cleats, and shin guards. Goalies must wear a
shirt that is a different color than either
team’s shirts. No jewelry of any kind
is allowed, except for properly secured medical
tags. No casts of any kind are allowed. No
metal cleats are allowed. Mouth guards are

time. However, if the referee does not call
the game, and a team refuses to continue playing,
it will be considered a forfeit. If the game
is called off, it will be replayed in its
entirety at a later date.
