INTRAMURAL PLAYING RULES:
The following rules apply to ALL Intramural age groups: Length of Game: 4 six-minute periods with a quick, one-minute break between periods. Field Dimensions: 20 yards wide x 30 yards long Player equipment: ALL players must wear shin guards. Soccer cleats are highly recommended. Ball size: Size 3 Jewelry: The United States Soccer Association prohibits wearing any jewelry, including earrings and necklaces, when playing soccer. TBAA must follow this rule. Jewelry creates a danger to both the wearer and other players. For example, there have been occurrences of an earring getting caught on the sleeve of another player resulting in the ear being torn as the earring is ripped from the ear. If the ears have just been pierced and the earring cannot be removed, both the front and back of the earring MUST be covered with tape or a band-aid. This rule also applies to soccer practices and should be followed for any sporting event. Substitutions: Unlimited, on-the fly substitutions. The player leaving the field must be off of the playing area before the new player steps onto the field. Restart from sideline: There are no throw-ins. Ball restarts from where it left the field. Restart can be by pass or by dribbling into the field of play. Opponent players cannot be within 5 yards of the player bringing the ball back into play. The idea is to get the play moving again as quickly as possible with space created for the restart. Restart after either team kicks ball over goal line - There are no "6" kicks or corner kicks. Ball belongs to defensive team. Opponent players must retreat into their half of the playing field before the restart. Ball restarts from where it left the field. Restart can be by pass or by dribbling into the field of play. The idea is to get the play moving again as quickly as possible with space created for the restart. Restart after goals: Restart is from the center of the field with team who was scored upon having possession. Offside: There is no offside. Fouls: All fouls will be treated as "indirect" kicks - you cannot score on a restart. Restart can be by pass or by dribbling into the field of play. Opponent players cannot be within 10 yards of the player putting the ball back into play. The idea is to get the play moving again as quickly as possible with space created for the restart.
