Rules of the Game
Standard FIFA rules as documented in Laws of the Game will be followed with the exception of the following permitted rule adjustments:
Periods of Play: All regularly scheduled league games shall be played in two forty-five minute halves with a ten (10) minute half time. There will be no overtime. O-40 and O-50 leagues may optionally take a five minute break in the middle of each half (play four twenty minute periods) except where referees are being assessed, which requires games be played in two full 45min halves.
Unlimited substitutions will be permitted in all league games. Two (2) substitutions are permitted per team following a goal and at goal kicks. Two (2) substitutions are permitted by a team at their throw-in. At half-time, unlimited substitutions are permitted. In the event play is stopped to attend to an injury, either team may substitute two (2) players. O-40 and O-50 may have unlimited substitutions at the defined stoppages. All substitutions must have permission of referee and are allowed at his discretion.
Slide tackles are not allowed in the O-30, O-40 and O-50 leagues. A slide tackle is by definition a "tackle" where a player leaves both feet to challenge an opponent. Sliding to prevent a ball going in the goal or going into touch is allowed as long as there is no opponent involved as is sliding when no other player is within 6 feet. Slide tackle calls are to be enforced by referees for the safety of all players and the referee's decision as to whether a player slides or not is final.
