rules and regulations

General Rules:

  • A game is played by two teams, each with a maximum of eleven players on the field at one time.
  • One of the players on the field must be a goalkeeper.
  • A game may not start or continue if either team has fewer than seven players.
  • A substitution can only be made during a stoppage in play and the referee must be informed before the substitution is made.
  • A substitution must take place from the center of the field.
  • The number of substitutes will be a maximum of five (5) and are rolling.

Equipment:

This rule covers what a player can and can’t wear during a game.
There are 5 pieces of equipment that every soccer player is required to wear during a game. They are:

  • A jersey with sleeves
  • Shorts
  • Socks
  • Shin guards – these must be covered by the player’s socks
  • Footwear

Note:
A player must also not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous.

   • This includes all items of jewelry, that are forbidden and must be removed before the game starts.

   • It is also a requirement that the two teams must wear colors that distinguish them from each other and the match officials.

   • Each goalkeeper must also wear colors that are distinguishable from the other players and the match officials.

Referee:

The referee has authority to enforce the laws of the game:

  • Each soccer game will be controlled by a referee who has full authority to enforce the rules of the game.
  • In all circumstances, the decisions of the referee are final and must be respected.
  • The referee controls the game in cooperation with the other game officials acting as timekeeper and keeping an official record of the match

Duration of the Game:

The duration of a game is 30 minutes.

  • Each soccer game will last for two equal halves of 15 minutes.
  • Between each half, there is an interval not exceeding 2 minutes. This is known as half-time.
  • Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this.
  • Allowance is made by the referee in each half for all time lost during that half.
  • For example, for every substitution made, or every stoppage that delays the game, the referee will keep a note of the length of that delay and add that time to the end of the half.

Kick-off:

Every game will begin with a kick-off from the center of the field. Kick-off from the center of the soccer field starts:

  • both halves of a game,
  • and restarts play after a goal has been scored
  • A coin toss before the game determines which team will take the kick-off at the beginning of the game.

When the teams come back onto the field for the second half of the game, the teams change ends and attack the opposite goals
At kick-off:

  • All players, except the player taking the kick-off, must be in their own half of the field of play
  • The ball must be stationary on the center mark

Ball In and Out of Play:

Knowing when the ball is in play and when it is out of play is very vital.
The ball is out of play when:

  • it has wholly passed over the goal line or touchline on the ground or in the air
  • the play has been stopped by the referee

Play will be restarted with either a throw-in, a corner, or a goal-kick.

The ball is in play at all other times including:

  • when it touches a match official and remains on the field of play
  • when it rebounds off a goalpost, crossbar, or corner flag post and remains on the field of play.

Outcome of the game:

This is the essentials of what you need to know about determining the outcome of the game:

  • A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts, and under the crossbar.
  • The team scoring the greater number of goals in the game is the winner.
  • If both teams score no goals or an equal number of goals, the game is drawn.
  • Penalties will be taken to decide the winner of a drawn game

Offside:

  • For the sake of simplicity, there will be no offside rule
