There are a few special rules/condition for the 7v7 weeknight summer season to facilitate play on smaller fields with shorter halves:
No slide tackles.
Goalkeeper cannot punt the ball – must throw ball.
Goal kicks must make contact with the ground or a player before crossing the center line. Otherwise an indirect free kick awarded to the opponent.
Rolling substitutions - you do not need to wait for a stoppage in play or permission from the officials.
No offside (although flagrant cherry picking is discouraged and may be cautioned by the official as unsportsmanlike conduct).
One-person referee system and no team referee requirement.
10-minute grace period from scheduled kickoff to have equipment in place and at least 5 players on the field – otherwise it is a forfeit. Games are only 50 minutes, so don't be late.
Forfeit fee is $50 and will be taken out of your deposit. If you give 72 hours advance notice, the forfeit fee will be reduced. Forfeits are also a 0-3 loss and -1 in the standings. Please, no forfeits!
