SEASON RULES:
At the start of the season teams will be placed randomly into leagues. You will play each team once and then be re-allocated into new skill based leagues depending on where you finish in the original league. You will play 2 10 week seasons in these leagues, with promotion and relegation taking place.

MATCH RULES:
• Over head height is allowed

• When the ball goes out of play, play will be re-started with a kick in (if applicable). If the ball leaves the cage, play will be restarted with goalkeepers ball from the opposite team that last touched it.

• Nobody is allowed in the area except the goalkeeper, if a defender goes in their own area, it is a penalty. If the goalkeeper comes out it is a penalty. Common sense will be applied when enforcing this rule to decide whether it was deliberate or a players motion just carried them in. If an attacker goes in, its goalkeepers ball.

• Penalties will be taken from the edge of the area or 4 yards outside the area (depending on area size) and the taker must only have one step before the shot

•  Yellow cards carry a 2 minute sin bin. 2 yellows = a red.

• The goalkeeper cannot pick up a back pass, results in a free kick from where the pass was played

• All free kicks are direct

• No opposition player can be stood within 4 yards of free kick, corner or kick in

• Once the goal keeper has passed the ball to a defender, the ball cannot go directly back to the goal keeper. If it does a free kick from the point of the pass will be given.

• If a foul is committed when the attacking player has a clear goal scoring opportunity a free shot will be given from the point of the foul. This will be the same as a free kick, but all players must be behind the ball.

• Substitutions are roll on/roll off, so players can come on and off as many times as they wish. However the referee must be notified when any substitution is made

• No sliding is allowed
