 Micro Soccer Rules Mini Soccer Rules Modified Soccer Rules
Pregame Prayer
· During league play, a win will count for three points and a tie for one point.
· In the 6th through 8th grade divisions, there will be CYO postseason playoff tournaments. Team qualification will be determined by the soccer commission
· During tournament play, if the score is tied at the end of regulation play, an additional five (5) minutes, each way, shall be played (no golden goal/sudden death). If the score remains tied, the game will be decided by a FIFA shootout, except in the finals, where if the game is tied after 10 minutes of over-time, the teams will become "co-champions."
EQUIPMENT
· Each team (Grades 1 through 6) shall furnish a #4 regulation soccer ball of good quality and condition for each match. Grades 7 and 8 will use a #5 ball. The referee will decide which ball will be used during the match.
· It is strongly recommended by CYO Athletics that parishes/schools spend the minimal amount on uniforms for first through fifth grades. T-shirts are fine and no numbers are required.
· The home team is responsible for making sure that their players bring a white T-shirt in case the two opposing teams have the same colors.
RULES
· All CYO soccer teams will play according to the current Federation Internationale de Football Association rules, unless otherwise specified in this manual or the rules herein outlined.
· 1st and 2nd graders play on a micro-field requiring special rules and 3rd graders play on a mini-field requiring special rules. 4th Graders play on a modified soccer field. These field dimensions and rules will be available at the coaches meeting or by calling CYO Athletics at 206.654.4643.
· All 4th-7th grade matches will consist of 30 minute halves with a 5 minute intermission. All 8th grade matches will consist of 35 minute halves with a 5 minute intermission. The length of matches will vary for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.
· Slide tackling is not allowed for any age division. Penalty for this infraction will be left to the referee’s discretion.
· Goalkeepers may not be charged within the six-yard line.
· The referee will keep the official score during the match.
· In the first through fourth grade divisions, each team will be responsible for providing a referee.
· All players, coaches, and spectators must remain on their respective sides of the field. Coaches and players must remain within 10 yards of either side of midfield during the game. Anyone who will not abide by this rule will subject their team to forfeiture. No person is allowed behind the goal line.
PLAYING TIME AND SUBSTITUTION POLICIES
· In the first through third grade divisions (micro- and mini- soccer), playing time must be equally distributed among all the players every game. In the 4-8th grade divisions, each player suited up must play a minimum of 10 minutes per half, including playoffs. Infractions of the playing time policy will result in warning for the 1st offense and a suspension for the offending coach for the 2nd (and any subsequent offenses).
· Substitutions (UNLIMITED) must be made when the ball is out of play. An entering substitute must always report verbally to the referee and must not enter the field of play until the referee calls him/her. Substitutions will be at the official’s discretion and may be disallowed should the official determine that a coach was using it in a detrimental manner.
