Soccer
Soccer will be played in the fall, with both men's and women's leagues being offered. Playing on a slightly smaller field, there is no off-sides and only 7 players per team on the field. This creates a fast-paced style of play and an exciting brand of soccer.
Soccer Rules
- Consider safety as your top priority
- Be decisive and conduct yourself with authority
- Blow your whistle like you mean it
- Minimize and penalize an overly aggressive play
- Don’t tolerate disrespect- don’t be afraid to call a foul
- A second flagrant-type foul in a game will result in ejection from that game…and the next game
- Call every obvious infraction
- The clock will continuously run [2] 20 minute halves
- If only 1 ref shows up to ref, give the teams the choice to play anyway, or to re-schedule the game
- Protect the player with the ball-no slide tackling
- Balance the field – a ref along each sideline keeping up with play
- Get up and down the field with the flow of play- don’t become a statue in 1 place- or you will always be out of position
- You can only demand respect by giving respect and a hustling effort
- The student director is in charge of each evening – if you need help with a situation, stop the game and call for the supervisor
- Ref with a positive attitude
- Only 7 players on the field at a time, including the goalkeeper
- No offsides
- Goalie can’t punt the ball over midfield, but can throw it over. If this penalty occurs the goalie must re-kick
- No slide-tackling allowed
- If a tie occurs, move to 5-player penalty kicks. If still tied, move to 3-player until a winner is decided
- You may eject players from the game if their play, or conduct, warrants it. You may consult with the supervisor
