Use kick-ins only at the sidelines, with the ball stationary on the line and opponents five yards away. The kicker has five seconds once the ball is set; a late or improper kick-in goes to the other team. A kick-in cannot score directly: award an opponent goal kick for a ball entering the opponent’s goal, or an opponent corner kick for an own-goal entry. The kicker may not touch it again until another player does. Opponents stay six yards away for kickoffs, corners and free kicks. A kickoff cannot score directly: award an opponent goal kick for an opponent-goal entry, or an opponent corner kick for an own-goal entry. For goal kicks, opponents stay outside the penalty area until the ball is kicked and clearly moves.

Goalkeepers can handle the ball only inside their own penalty area. They cannot handle a deliberate teammate back-pass, a teammate’s kick-in or their own release before another player touches it. Technical goalkeeper violations lead to an indirect free kick from the front edge of the penalty area.

One shooter. One goalkeeper. Five seconds from the referee’s whistle to score. The shooter may dribble and shoot; the goalkeeper may leave the goal line after the first touch. Rebounds may be played within those five seconds. The attempt ends on a goal, time expiring, the ball going out or clear goalkeeper control.

In a tied playoff, each team gets one attempt per round. If both score or both miss, another paired round follows. Eligible players must each take an attempt before anyone repeats. Accumulated-foul shootouts can also happen during regular-season games; the game clock keeps running and the referee may add the time used at the end of the half. A goal leads to a kickoff, a miss to a defending goal kick.

Wear your numbered team jersey, shorts, socks and shin guards covered by the socks. Remove jewelry. Casts and splints must be padded and referee-approved. Goalkeepers wear a clearly different jersey. For a color clash, the home team reverses its reversible jerseys or wears alternate jerseys. Substitutes do not use pinnies. Use safe soccer footwear suited to the outdoor surface.

Use size 3 for U6, size 4 for U8 through U12, and size 5 for U13 and older. U6 and U8 play 5v5 on a quarter of the 7v7 field under the same rules; U10 and older play 7v7. Game rosters are due at least 15 minutes before kickoff, with up to 20 eligible players dressed.

The league youth rule prohibits deliberate heading in divisions age 12 and younger. Referees protect players, control the game and can stop play for unsafe conditions. Players, coaches and spectators must treat officials and one another respectfully.

A yellow card means a two-minute playing-clock sit-out; an eligible substitute may replace the player immediately. A red-carded player cannot return. An on-field red card leaves the team short for two playing-clock minutes before an eligible substitute may enter. A second yellow becomes a red.

The rulebook's outdoor plan uses fields 40 yards wide by 53 1/3 yards long, with secured goals 18 feet wide by 6 feet high. Two fields fit across a football field with a shared corridor. Keep at least three yards of unobstructed clearance outside every soccer boundary, plus additional space for nets behind goals. The Summer venue and final setup remain to be confirmed.
