Duration of Game
Two 35 minute halves with a substitution break about halfway through the half and the clock never stops. The substitution breaks should be no more than 1 minute.
Halftime break of 5 to 10 minutes.

The clock never stops except at half time, so the total time the game takes should be around 75 to 80 minutes. If your game is scheduled to start at 9:00am you should be getting off the field at 10:20am

• Uniforms of all players on the same team should match, keeper should not match either team.

Fouls & Misconduct
• Opponents should be ten yards from the ball on restart kicks, but do not enforce unless the player taking the kick asks for it.
• Cautions and send-offs will be used for dangerous and unfair play

Referees
The referee must be a certified regional referee or above.

Assistant Referees/Club Linesmen:
If available, qualified assistant referees who have completed Assistant Referee Certification may be used to assist the referee. This is an opportunity for new assistant referees to begin getting experience.

If qualified assistant referees are not available, Club Linesmen (untrained volunteers who may be affiliated with one of the teams/clubs) may be recruited from the spectators to assist the referee with calling the ball in and out of play only. This is an opportunity for parents to get involved.
