World Cup Indoor Soccer Club Rules

1. ALL Restarts are direct kicks and my go in any direction (this includes, restarts when the ball goes out of bounds, beginning of each half, after each goal, fouls and penalty kicks).

2. Blue Card offenses result in a Two-Minute penalty and the player must leave the field. In the case that a GK receives a Two-Minute player, a field player may serve the penalty. If the opposing team scores during the Penalty period, the player serving the penalty may return to the field of play

3. Yellow card offenses result in a “hard” Two-Minute penalty. That means even if the opposing team scores during the Penalty period the player serving the penalty may not re-enter the field and must serve the entire Two-Minute Penalty.

4. Red card offenses result in a “hard” Five-Minute Penalty. The player committing the foul may not re-enter the game.

5. Kicking the ball into the ceiling is a One-Minute Penalty and the opposing team gets a free kick form the offensive line.

6. Three Line Rule: If a player kicks/throws the ball in the air over the Defensive, Center & Offensive lines the opposing team will receive a Free Kick from the Offensive line.

7. Substitutions can be made “on the fly” or “hockey-style”

8. There is NO slide tackling

9. There is NO Offsides

10. Where not noted, FIFA/House rules will apply

11. Competitive Balance Rule: In the Second Half ONLY, any team losing by 7 or more goals may add ONE additional field player for the remainder of the game.

REMEMBER, without the referees there is no game. They are human like the rest of us and will make mistakes. Only those players and coaches that are Perfect and Never make a mistake are allowed to offer criticisms regarding the referees during the game. ALL grievances or concerns should be addressed to the league coordinator, J. Ramon Estevez after the game.
