Rules and Regulations of Soccer Drew Lynd CI 350 Wednesday 4:00-6:20
Starting Out • Each team consists of 11 players. One goalie and 10 outfield players. • Teams are usually split in formations consisting of defenders, midfielders, and forwards.
Start of Game and During Play • At the start of each game or if there is a goal scored, there is a kick-off from the center circle. • After kick-off, the ball will be in play until it goes out of bounds or the referee stops play. There are usually two 45-minute halves in a game. This time can vary for different age groups or regions.
No hands, please • Even if you know nothing about soccer, you have an idea that you do not use your hands, unless you are the goalie. • Hand balls are anything that touches a body part from the finger tips to the shoulder.
Throw-Ins • A throw-in is taken when the ball crosses the sideline and leaves the field. • Basic rule for a throw-in is to keep both feet on the ground, and throw the ball with both hands over the head. • For teaching purposes, we will practice more than once.
Corner Kicks & Goal Kicks • A corner kick or goal kick is taken when the ball leaves the field across the end line • If the offensive team kicks it out, it is a goal kick; if the defensive team kicks it out, it is a corner kick • Goal kick is taken from anywhere inside the penalty box, and the corner kick is taken from the nearest corner Goal Kick Corner Kick
Fouls If it looks like a foul, it probably is! • A player can not kick, trip, jump at, charge, strike, push, hold or spit at an opponent. • Keep in mind that soccer is a contact sport • Bumping or shoulder-to-shoulder while competing for a ball is not a foul, until the arms or elbow come up. Bad Good
Red and Yellow Cards • Punishment for fouls committed. • Yellow card is almost a warning, you can receive two yellow cards that are equal to a red • Red card is ejection, and possible suspension of next game • Referee’s can give ‘straight’ red cards if necessary before yellow
Direct or Indirect Kick? • It is a direct kick if you can score by directly kicking the ball on goal. • Indirect kick has to be touched by two people on the same team before scoring. • Both types of kicks are taken after a foul has been committed. Usually, another teammate will stand nearby to ‘quick touch’ it during an indirect kick For a direct kick, a player can shoot directly at the goal
