Equipment 

  • For all indoor games, futsal balls will be used. These are provided by Airpark Soccerplex.
  • Flat indoor shoes or turfs are allowed for games. Cleats are not permitted

Restarts

  • All restarts are indirect in indoor games, including kickoffs and returning the ball to play after it has left the court. The only exception is a penalty kick.
  • Direct Penalty kicks are awarded for fouls that occur within the penalty area. 
  • The opposing team must allow a minimum of 5 yards of space on all restarts. 
  • Should the ball hit the ceiling or structures that are not the playing boards, it will be a kick-in for the opposing team on the sideline closest to the point of contact where the infraction occurred.
  • A free kick will be called for the opposing team when a ball hits the protective netting or above the line on the wall behind the goal.

Goalkeepers

  • The goalkeepers may not use their hands when directly receiving a pass from a teammate. Should this occur, the restart will be an indirect free kick for the opposing team.
  • All restarts will be kick-ins (including goal kicks).
  • Goalkeepers may not punt the ball. In the event of a punt, a corner will be awarded to the opposing team.
  • There are no limitations on the number of touches a goalkeeper may take in their defensive half or how far they can throw the ball. Goalkeepers may not score a goal off a throw.

Substitutions

  • Unlimited substitutions may be made on the fly without the consent of the referee. The one exception is penalty kicks, where no substitutions will be allowed.  
  • Subs must enter the field from their designated bench.

Player Contact

  • All players must adhere to the expectations stated in the Player Pledge. Conduct displayed that is contrary to the Player Pledge may result in a suspension or a ban.
