YOUTH DIVISION CHECK HANDOUT WITH PLAYER MIN AND MAX.

If a team does not present the balls or presents a ball that is not in working condition and the opposing team complains, this team will lose the match if no ball is presented by half time. Ball should be labeled low bound indoor soccer. If you are not sure about ball size or kind, please let us know. Balls will be presented before beginning the game and at half time once more. The same is true for outdoor. 

3.The timer will start until both refs are on the field ready to go. 
4.When subbing a player off of the field, the player coming off of the field must be completely off of the court before the other can enter. Not doing so can result in a blue card, in which case both players would have to come off of the field for 2 minutes. Leaving your team short a player. Note: all substitutions must be made at half field; not doing so can result in a card. INDOOR

8.Red card, this means that the player has committed a foul; this is punishable by being removed from the game and not being allowed to participate. No other player would be able to come in for this person, leaving the team with a player down. The team coach must present himself at the league to know how many games this player would have to sit out for. 

9.Double blue card, this is when a player commits two fouls and receives two blue cards. In this case the blue would turn into a yellow and the player would have to sit out for 5 minutes. This player would not be allowed to reenter the field of play until the time has been completed, even if a goal is scored by the opposing team. INDOOR

10.Cards are accumulative, 2 blue = yellow, 2 yellow= red, 3 blue= red, 1 blue+ 1 yellow=red. INDOOR

12.When six consecutive fouls are committed, the team with the six fouls will receive a blue card, and one player will have to exit the playing field for a two minute time out. Note: If the player that exits the field of play already has a blue card this will turn into a yellow card with a 5 minute time out, beware of this rule. Remember six fouls, not cards. Fouls erase at half time and restart once the punishment has been given. 

13.When 2 players are blue carded the player that has been out the longest can reenter the field of play when a goal is scored or at the two minute mark. They will not be allowed back in at the same time. INDOOR

14.Attached is a list of possible punishment for a red card, these will increase during the season depending on how many red card an individual gets. Remember all punishments are accumulative, the ref will report all actions observed. If you commit a foul punishable by a red card and then yell profanities at the ref these two will be summed up.
