League/Roster Structure:

  1. Roster size may be no greater than 18 with a minimum of 7. A minimum of 5 players must be present to start the game.
  1. Each team must assign a “coach.” All contact from the league host to the teams will take place through the “coach.”

  1. Participants must be 18+ years of age to participate. Proof of birth shall be provided upon request.

Rules of play will follow FIFA Laws of the Games with the following exceptions:

  1. Games are played 7v7 (6 field players and one goalie).
  2. Jerseys do not have to be numbered but must match in color. The goalkeeper must have a different color jersey. The home team will be required to change jersey color in case of a color conflict between opponents.
  3. Games consist of (2) 25-minute halves with a 5-minute halftime.
  4. Substitutions are unlimited and may occur at any point in the game as long as players are 3 feet from the sideline before the subbing player enters the field of play.
  5. The goalkeeper may not punt or drop-kick the ball and cannot pick the ball up if it is passed from the foot of a teammate.
  6. Games are controlled by one to two referees.
  7. No slide tackling is allowed.

  12. Coed teams must have at least 2 females on the field at any given time.
  13. Shin guards are required.

Each team gets ONE free reschedule request throughout the season (after the final schedule is approved). After the one reschedule is used, Allison SportsTown will charge a $30 fee for any additional reschedules. This rule applies to any games that must be rescheduled at the sole request of a team. If the facility initiates a reschedule, this rule does not apply.
