Game Leader
The main role of the game leader is to keep the game moving fluently, limit stoppages and assist players with all match re-starts. Most importantly, they must make every effort to create an environment that ensures that all players have fun and have maximum involvement. The game leader can be a club official, parent, or beginning referee and should always be enthusiastic and approachable.
Start of play & Re-start after a goal.
Pass forward to a team mate from the middle of the half way line. All players must be in their own half of the field of play. Opponents must be at least 5m away from the ball until it is in play. The ball must touch a team mate before a goal can be scored.
Ball in and out of play
The ball is out of play when it has wholly crossed the side line or the goal line on the ground or in the air, or when play has been stopped by the game leader.
Ball crossing the side line
There is no throw in. A player from the opposing team to the player that touched the ball last before crossing the touch line will place the ball on the touch line and pass or dribble the ball into play. Opponents must be at least 5m away from the ball until it is in play. The ball must touch a team mate before a goal can be scored.
Ball crossing the goal line
There is no corner kick. Regardless of which team touched the ball last, a player from the team whose goal line the ball has crossed will place the ball anywhere along the goal line and pass or dribble the ball into play. Opponents must retreat to the half way line and can move once the ball is in play. The ball must touch a team mate before a goal can be scored.
Offside
There is no offside.
Fouls and misconduct
Indirect free kicks are awarded for all acts of handball or fouls and misconducts. Opponents must be at least 5m away from the ball when the indirect free kick is taken. (An indirect free kick is where a goal can be scored only if the ball subsequently touches another player before it enters the goal).
Goal Scoring
When a player scores three (3) goals in a row he must pass the ball to another player to score a goal. This is to encourage all players to have a go at scoring.
