Friday Coed Soccer Rules

⚽ Pre‑Game Rules

  • Waivers are required by everyone (Waiver)

  • Teams need 7 players at kickoff. If not, they must offer a forfeit. The other team can:

    • Accept the forfeit and still play

    • Accept the forfeit and head home early

    • Say “nah, let’s play for keeps” anyway

  • After kickoff, games may continue as long as each team has 7 players.

  • Using non‑registered players could result in automatic forfeit + possible league consequences.

  • Captains must ensure all players are eligible before each match.

  • Opposing captains may review and challenge the roster provided to the head referee.

 

⚽ Game Play

  • Slide tackling another player is NOT allowed.

    • Slide tackling with no one around (like stopping a runaway ball) is allowed.

  • Unlimited subs because we’re all adults with questionable cardio:

    • Team in possession can sub on any stoppage

    • Team not in possession can sub when the other team does

    • Both teams can sub at halftime or during long delays

    • Goalkeeper swaps must be reported to the ref

  • No bad vibes: profanity, racism, violence, or general jerk behavior = ejection + possible suspension.

  • Cards matter:

    • 2 yellows or 1 red = ejected + suspended next match

    • Suspensions apply across all teams a player participates on

    • Serious stuff can mean multi‑game suspensions

    • Final‑match suspensions carry into next season

    • Suspended players:

      • May owe a fine

      • If they play while suspended, their team forfeits all points earned with them

  • Spectators must stay off the field. If they get abusive and refuse to leave, their team forfeits.

  • If a guest player receives a suspension, both that player and the person who brought them will also be suspended. If no one claims responsibility for the guest, the team captain will receive the suspension.

  • No smoking or alcohol before or during games. Save it for post‑match celebrations.

  • Follow the rules of the field location.

  • Field providers aren’t responsible for lost items or any type of insurance.
