Winter League Rules

Team Composition: Each team consists of 6 field players and 1 goalkeeper (7 total players).

Substitutions: Substitutions are allowed on the fly, but the player coming off the field must be behind the SCOR wall before the new player can come on.

Timeouts: Each coach has one 60-second timeout per match, to be used during their own team's possession only.

Tackling Rules: No slide tackling is allowed for field players. Goalkeepers can slide as long as they do so with their hands.

Yellow and Red Cards: A player issued a yellow card must leave the field for 2 minutes, and the team will play with one player down for that duration. Two yellow cards result in a red card, leading to the removal of the coach or player from the facility.

Injury Protocol: Play stops for head injuries or when a player is down for more than 20 seconds.

Uniforms: Coaches and players must wear UK-issued gear at all times without exceptions.

Jewelry: Players must remove all jewelry.

Shin Guards and Socks: Players must wear shin guards and tall socks that cover the shin guards for safety.

Guest Players: No guest players are allowed. A team with only 4 field players available will forfeit the match.

Safety: All participants are responsible for their safety and the safety of others. Reckless and dangerous play that could cause harm is strictly prohibited.

Respect for Game Masters and Referees: The league places great importance on respecting the game masters and referees. Verbal abuse, harassment, or intimidation of game masters and referees will not be tolerated. Decisions made by the officials should be respected, even if teams or players disagree with them. Disputes should be handled through proper channels as outlined in the rule book.

These rules are crucial to maintain the safety, integrity, and sportsmanship of the league. All participants, including players, coaches, and spectators, should adhere to these principles for a positive and enjoyable indoor soccer experience.
