6 X 6 ADULT SOCCER LEAGUE RULES

• The IFAB (International Football Association Board) Rules will apply except as modified in this document.    
• The game clock will begin promptly at the scheduled game time. Games consist of two twenty-five-minute halves with a five-minute half-time period.
• Up to 6 players on the field per team.

• Each team must wear a shirt/uniform of the same color. Please bring a white and same color shirt to all games. Goalies must wear a different color uniform/Jersey than the rest of the players on both teams. This will allow the goalies to be easily recognized by game officials and players.
• There will be no off-sides in 6 x 6
• Shin guards are required at all times during play.
• Substitutions may be made on a dead ball by either team.
• No slide tackles, high kicks, bicycle kicks or overly aggressive play is permitted. If a player goes down to one knee for a ball it may not always be considered a slide tackle. It depends on the situations and will be a discretion call by the official. Penalty for slide tackling will result in a direct free kick.
• Verbal abuse towards the officials will not be tolerated. Vulgar language during games on and off the field will not be permitted.
• If a player receives a Yellow Card, that player must sit out for five minutes (that player maybe replaced if substitutes are available, you do not need to play a player short)
• If a player receives a red card (or two yellow cards) they must sit out the rest of the game and the next scheduled game (you will play a player short the remainder of that game). Any additional red cards during the season will result in ejection for the remainder of the season for the player. (Please no red cards).
