Intramural Sports - Indoor Soccer
 

Rules

• Each team may play up to four players and a goal keeper on the court at one time. A
  team needs at least four total players to avoid a forfeit.
   
• All games will consist of two 15 minute halves. There will be a 2 minute halftime.
   
• The clock will run continuously except in the event of an injury or official’s time out.
   
• Ties will not be broken in regular season play. A tie in a playoff match will be decided by
  two 5 minute sudden death overtime sessions, and penalty kicks (5 per team) if needed.
   
• The Goal Keeper Box is defined as the intersection of the orange lines and the black line parallel to the goal.
   
• Teams should have matching tops. Colored vests will be provided for those teams
  without uniform jerseys. Keepers should dress in jerseys that contrast to the colors being worn by either team.
   
• The ball may be kicked forward or backward from the center circle to begin each half and following each goal. All members of the defensive team must remain outside the blue
  circle until the ball is in play.
   
• Any ball contacting the wall above the shaded grey will be ruled out. The team contacting the ball last will be determined by the referee. The opposite team will be
  awarded a direct kick. The ball will be spotted within 2 feet of the wall closest to the
  point of going out.
   
• A corner kick will be awarded if a kicked ball hits a defensive player and goes out of bounds on an end wall. The referee will determine which corner to kick from.
   
• A goal will be awarded when the entire ball completely crosses the goal plane.
   
• The goalkeeper may hold the ball up to five seconds following a save.
   
• The goalkeeper is the only player who can play the ball using arms, provided that he/she is within the box. If a player from the same team kicks the ball to the keeper, use
  of hands is illegal. If the keeper violates this rule, the result will be an indirect kick
  from the spot of the foul.
   
• All interference fouls will result in a direct kick being awarded to the team being fouled.
  Plays deemed as dangerous, tripping, tackling or others will result in a direct kick.
  Fouls of this nature within the goal box will result in a penalty kick.
   
• Players ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct must meet with the intramural director before their next competition. All ejections carry a minimum one game suspension. Fighting will result in suspension from the league.
