Costessey Sports Summer Tournament 2023 Rules

We strongly recommend that all players wear trainers unless inclement weather dictates that blades and studded boots would be more appropriate footwear. Shin-pads, covered with socks, must be worn.

1. All teams must register a maximum of 8 players on the tournament registration form at the administration tent prior to the commencement of play. Only players who are registered prior to the commencement of play can take part in any of the tournament.

2. Substitutes are roll-on, roll-off and can be made at any time during the game at the referee’s discretion.

3. A team cannot score directly from the kick-off, a throw-in or a goal-kick (restart). The retreat rule will apply for age groups U10 and below and Girls Under 11s.

4. Kick-off will be determined at the start of each game by a coin toss (the coin toss winner will chose either kick-off or ‘end’). Each game will last for 8 minutes (no half-time), with stoppage time to be determined by the referee. In the event of a match progressing into extra-time (semi-final and final ties), 3 minutes shall be played each way. If the match is still undecided after extra-time, the match will be determined by a penalty shoot-out (5 penalties followed by sudden death). During a penalty shootout, only the players on the pitch at the end of extra-time will be allowed to participate in the penalty shoot-out. No change of goalkeepers will be allowed;

5. During the league stage (from Under 9’s upwards):

3 points will be awarded for a win

1 point will be awarded for a draw

6. From Under 9’s upwards, two teams from each group will qualify to enter the semi-finals. The winner of Group A will play the runner-up in Group B and vice-versa. In the event of there being one group in a particular age group, the top four will go through to semi-finals where the winner of the group will play 4th place in one semi-final tie and 2nd and 3rd will compete in the other

7. Heading of the ball (Under 11’S and below) The no header rule will be as per current FA guidelines i.e under 11’s and below. Deliberately heading the ball will be an offence that will result in an indirect free kick being taken from the point where the ball was headed. If it is a defender who does this in the penalty area then the indirect free kick is taken from the penalty spot. The deliberate heading is the only instance in mini soccer where an indirect free kick is used to restart the game.

8. The Goalkeeper will only be allowed to handle the ball in the penalty area, however is free to move anywhere in the field of play. Any player may enter and play the ball within the penalty area;

9. Once the Goalkeeper has control of the ball they must distribute the ball by either an under arm roll (on the floor below waist height not looped in the air) or by placing onto the ground for a kick, at which point the ball becomes live. No drop kicks. Any infringement of this will result in a free-kick being given (on the edge of the penalty area, nearest to the offence) to the opposing team;

10. A Goalkeeper will not be allowed to pick up a intentional back-pass; if they do then a free-kick (on the edge of the penalty area, nearest to the offence) will be awarded to the opposing team;

11. There will be no height restrictions;

12. All free-kicks are direct (unless instruction is given by the referee to both teams to the contrary);

13. Defending players shall retreat 2 metres away from a free-kick, at the discretion of the referee;

14. If the ball leaves the field of play it must be returned by an under-arm roll (on the floor below waist height not looped in the air), goal kick or corner kick;

15. Group positions will be determined by: i. the number of points accrued; ii. teams level on points will be separated by goal difference; iii. teams level on goal difference will be separated by the most number of goals scored; iv. teams level on goals scored will be separated by the result between the tied teams; v. if the teams are still tied, group position will be determined by a penalty shootout;

16. The captain of the winning team (or manager) will return the match card to the registration desk at the end of the match;

17. Any player sent off will be reported to the Organising Committee and will take no further part in the remainder of the tournament (including medals /trophies). They cannot be replaced by another representative of the club;

18. All decisions made by the organising committee are final and not open to appeal;

19. Fair Play and Respect is to be encouraged by officials, players and supporters of all clubs at all times. Any individual deemed to be in serious breach of this will be asked to leave the tournament.
