Max 10 players per team
Format
Match Duration: Two 12-minute halves with a 2-minute halftime. The clock runs continuously.
Points: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss.
Gameplay Essentials
The Crease / Goal Box: A semi-circle "arc" protects the goal. No player from either team is allowed to touch the ball inside this zone.
If a defender touches the ball in the crease, a penalty kick is awarded to the attacking team.
If an attacker touches the ball in the crease, a goal kick is awarded to the defending team.
Restarts (Kick-ins): There are no throw-ins. All balls crossing the sideline are put back into play via an indirect kick-in or dribble-in.
The 3-Yard Rule: Defending players must stand at least 3 yards away from the ball on all restarts, kick-ins, and corner kicks.
Scoring: A goal can be scored from anywhere on the pitch, but it must completely cross the goal line. Kick-offs and kick-ins are indirect (cannot be scored directly without touching another player).
Match Management
Substitutions: "On-the-fly" rolling substitutions are allowed at any time. The exiting player must completely leave the pitch before the new sub steps on at the midfield line.
No Offsides & No Sliding: There are no offside penalties. Slide tackling is strictly prohibited to ensure player safety on smaller pitches—all players must stay on their feet to challenge for the ball.
