Indoor Rules

Law 1: Field of Play
All Leagues: Miniature goals     

The crease is the area in front of the goal that defenders may not stand  in to prevent a goal (goaltending).  This area can be breached by defenders in pursuit of the ball so long as the ball enters the crease before the defender.

A defender who deliberately prevents a goal scoring opportunity by playing the ball while standing in the crease shall be called for goaltending. A penalty shot will be awarded for goaltending. 

Wednesday/Friday: Boundaries are defined by the three walls and one touchline. Ball is in play off the walls. Ball is out of play when it completely crosses the touchline.

Saturday: Boundaries are defined two marked touchlines and two marked end lines.

All Leagues: Goals may only be scored forward of the half way line. All touches of the ball in the team’s own half of the field are considered indirect, meaning the ball must be touched by another player in the opposing team’s half of the field before a goal can be scored. This includes balls played into a team’s own net (own goal). A pass between teammates in their defending half cannot be ruled an own goal unless it has been touched by a member of the attacking team. 

Law 2: The Ball
All Leagues: Size 3

Law 3: The Players
All leagues:

·       4v4 w/o goalkeepers. Rosters are unlimited. All players must register with USASA and have an active player card. By registering with USASA, player agrees to all policies, procedures and league documents.

·       Unlimited free substitution- all substitutions must take place from the same spot meaning the player entering the court must enter at the same point the departing player exits the court

Wednesday: At least two (2) female players must be on the court at all times. If a team does not have any female players on the court, the match will be a forfeit. Teams may play with one female and 3 players total.

Law 4: The Players Equipment
All Leagues: Shinguards, Socks & Non-Marking Shoes are Mandatory. Jewelry is strongly discouraged but may be allowed at the discretion of the referee and/or HCSA management. Jewelry is worn at the players own risk.

Home team listed first / visitors wear pinnies. Pinnies are not provided. Each team must have matching uniforms.

Laws 5/6: The Referee/Other Match Officials 

All Leagues: One match referee is assigned to each game. Up to two (2) additional assistants may be assigned as well. Assistant referees are part of the officiating crew in every way. Any actions/misconduct aimed towards an assistant referee shall carry the same penalties as the match referee. See HCSA policy #6.

Law 7: Duration of the Match

All Leagues: 25 Minute halves. 5-minute halftime. Each team may take one 60 second timeout per game. A timeout can be taken only when in possession of the ball or when the ball is out of play provided the timeout does not prevent an advantage by the opposing team.

Law 8: The Start and Restart of Play:
All Leagues: A goal can be scored directly from a kickoff (even if the ball is not placed perfectly on the kickoff spot).

Law 9: The Ball In and Out of Play.
Wednesday/Friday: The ball is out of play when it touches any part of the net either on the wall or the ceiling. When the ball touches the net, play is immediately dead, and play is restarted with a kick-in at the nearest touchline/end line by the opposite team who touched the ball last. 

If a ball gets stuck behind a goal it becomes a dead ball. If the defending team last touched the ball it will be a corner kick. If the attacking team last touched the ball it will be a goal kick. No player from either team may step across the back of the net while the ball is in play. A goal kick or corner kick will be awarded if the ball is played from behind the net. Referees may choose to stop play on a "50/50" ball that may stay in play as this is a safety issue. 

Law 10: Determining the outcome of a match:
All Leagues: Regular season games have no overtime--games may end in a tie.

Overtime procedure for playoff game(s): An overtime period will be played starting with a coin-toss and a kickoff. First team to score in the overtime period is declared the winner. All other rules apply including foul accumulation.

Law 11: Offside:
All Leagues: No Offside

Law 12: Fouls and Misconduct
All Leagues: Safety is first and foremost in all HCSA leagues and all league referees and supervisors have the responsibility and final decision to ensure every player's safety is the highest concern in any match.

Slide Tackles: Slide tackles are prohibited. Sliding to prevent a goal scoring opportunity results in a penalty kick

Foul Accumulation (Team): Fouls that result in a direct free kick (charges, jumps at, kicks or

attempts to kick, pushes, strikes or attempts to strike, tackles or challenges, trips or attempts to trip, plus slide tackling), except for “handling” are tracked throughout the match. Once a team accumulates four (4) fouls in a match, one player must serve a two-minute penalty. Any player on the court at the time of the 4th foul may serve the penalty. Each foul after 4 results in a penalty kick awarded to the opposing team.

Foul Accumulation (Player): A player who commits three (3) fouls in one match will be given a yellow card for persistent infringement--unless that player has already been given a yellow card because of an earlier foul.

Misconduct:
Yellow Card: A yellow card will be issued to a player that commits any cautionable offence (delaying the restart of play/failing to respect the distance, dissent, entering or leaving the field of play without permission, persistent infringement, and unsporting behavior). A yellow card carries a 2-minute penalty that must be served by the player that received the card. If the team that is short a player gets scored on during the two-minute period, the carded player may return, and the teams play at even strength.

Red Card: A red card will be issued to a player that commits any send-off offense (denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity, serious foul play, spitting at an opponent or referee, violent conduct, using abusive language or gestures, receiving a second yellow card in a match). A red card carries a 5-minute penalty and the player receiving the red card is ejected from the match. The player may be required to leave the facility at the discretion of the match official.  The 5-minute penalty must be served in its entirety no matter how many goals are scored by the opposing team. Every red card is reviewable by the High Country Soccer Board of Directors and will result in a minimum 2 game suspension and $100 fine to be paid (prior to returning to play). All red cards are reviewed and may carry a greater penalty by monetary or game suspension length.

Law 13: Free Kicks
All Leagues: Free kicks are direct unless they are taken from behind the half way line (Law 1)
Minimum distance for Defenders: 5 feet

Law 14: The Penalty Kick
All Leagues: When a penalty is awarded, one player is chosen from the five players currently on the field at the time of the foul. Kicks are taken from the kickoff spot and are done without defenders’ present. The ball is considered "dead" whether a goal is scored or not. If the penalty is missed, a goal kick is awarded to the defending team.

Law 15: The Throw in
All Leagues: Throw-ins are replaced by kick-ins. Defenders must stay at least 5 feet from the kick in. Kick-ins are direct unless taken from behind the halfway line (See Law 1)

Law 16: The Goal Kick
All Leagues: Goal kicks must be taken within 5 feet of the end line.

Law 17: The Corner Kick
All Leagues: Corner kicks shall be taken as close as possible to a typical corner arc.
