have at least 4 players in order to start the game.
6.
An out of bounds ball or dead ball is put in play with a goal kick
(not a goalie throw in). Balls
striking the running track or mezzanine, balls striking the purple railing,
balls crossing into adjoining courts, the “net” portion of the curtain
divider, and balls which become lodged in bleachers, corners, etc. will be
considered out of bounds.
7.
A ball trapped behind the goal will be a goal kick or a corner kick
depending on the last person to touch it.

Corner kicks are taken one yard from the end wall on the sideline.
This happens following an out of bounds ball off of a defensive player,
over the end line. Opponents must
be 5 ft. from the person kicking the ball in.
9.
All indirect kicks except for penalty kick may be indirect.
10.
Goal area will be taped onto the floor.
11.
A goalie must have one foot in the legal area/crease if he/she
plans to pick up the ball at the side of the goal.
12.
The goalkeeper cannot throw the ball across mid-court line, unless it
touches the ground before it crosses. Goal kicks cannot cross mid-court on the fly.
These restarts must touch a player before
crossing mid-court. Punting is not
allowed.
13.
Goals may be scored from any place on the court.
However, shots taken from more than half court that hit the end wall
result in an indirect kick from the mid-court line.
14.
No two-hands on the wall at one time – results in an indirect
free kick at that point.
15.
No slide tackles. Goalies
cannot slide out of the goal crease. All slide tackles by the goalie will be a judgment call of the
officials. Results in indirect free kick.

Players may not intentionally touch the goalie if the goalie has
possession. A 2-minute penalty will
be awarded if this occurs.

etc. will result in a two-minute penalty.
Players will be ejected for flagrant fouls such as fighting and
unsportsmanlike conduct (including cursing at an opponent or official).
When ejected, the player must leave the building immediately or
the team will forfeit. If a players is ejected from the game, they must
then play a player down for the rest of the game.

The player may be substituted for.

will remain a tie.
If there are
any questions please contact the intramural director.
