<strong>RULES OF PLAY </strong>& POLICIES
</h1>
<h2 class="rules__content-center__heading-subtitle">Northside Youth Soccer League
</h2>
</div>
<div class="rules__content-center__rules">
<h3 class="rules__content-center__rules-subtitle">Sportsmanship</h3>
<p>The common interest that members of the Association share is to inspire youth to practice
the ideals of sportsmanship and fair play. Any player, coach, team, parent, spectator,
administrator or referee whose behavior detracts from this purpose is subject to
disciplinary action regardless of technical soccer background, expertise, accomplishments or
standing.</p>
<h3 class="rules__content-center__rules-subtitle">FIFA Field Regulations</h3>
<ol>
<li>DIMENSIONS.<p>FIFA Law 1 provides for flexible external field dimensions within a given
maximum and minimum width and length. These dimensions should be adhered to for all
fields used by teams under 12 and older.</p>
</li>
<li>COMPETITION FIELDS.<p>Fields used within the competition program must be a minimum of 100x60
yards. Leagues, districts or associations participating in the state competition program
that are unable to provide a field that meets these minimum requirements must advise the
State Competition Board which will assign its Fields Committee to inspect the field and
recommend to the Board whether or not a waiver of the minimum dimensions should be
granted. Teams from leagues, districts or associations that are unable to provide an
acceptable field may be required to play all their games away.</p>
</li>
<li>FIELDS USED BY YOUNG AGE GROUPS.
<ol type="a">
<li>U-6 play on a field approximately 20 X 40 yards with no penalty areas. Fields for
older age groups should be progressively larger.</li>
<li>U-8 plays on a field 40-50 yards in length and 20-30 yards width.</li>
<li>U-10 play on a field 70-80 yards in length and 40-50 yards in width.</li>
<li>In addition, fields used by young age groups may have their internal dimensions and
size of goal similarly modified.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>TEAM BENCH AREAS
<ol type="a">
<li>Recreation & District Programs
<ul>
<li>The decision for team/spectator placement on the field will be made by the
governing body of that team. A team’s bench area shall consist of that rea
at least one (1) yard away from the touchline and extending to twenty yards
(20) both ways from the halfway line. In the event that field conditions
require team benches to be on the same side of the field,a team’s bench area
shall consist of that area two (2) yards away from the
touchline and extending twenty yards one (1) way from the halfway line.</li>
<li>The home team has first choice as to where it wishes to locate its bench
area. Coaches and substitutes are required to remain within their bench area
during the game. Parents and spectators should occupy the same side of the
field as the team they are supporting.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>State Competition League Only
<ul>
<li>Except where it is determined by the referee to be impractical, team
bench areas shall be along the same touchline. Each team bench area shall be
located
two
yards
outside the touchline, beginning not closer than five yards from midfield
and
extending
not
further
than twenty yards from midfield. The home team shall have the right to
choose
the
location
of its
bench area. Coaches and substitutes must remain within their team's bench
area
during
the
game.
</li>
<li> Parents and spectators must occupy the sideline opposite the team bench
areas. Supporters
of a team
must assemble on the side of the midfield facing the team bench area of that
team.
There
shall be a
buffer zone extending ten yards on each side of the midfield that may not be
occupied by
parents or
spectators. Match officials shall be empowered to enforce these provisions
and
may
suspend
or
terminate games in the event that any team, coach, parent, or spectator
declines
to
abide by
requests from match officials to comply with these standards.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="rules__content-center__rules-subtitle">Equipment</h3>
<p>We will abide by and accept equipment standards as defined by FIFA, USSF and USYSA.

players per team may be on the field at any one time during the game.
</li>
<li>SIZE OF AGE GROUP TEAMS. In order to give player’s maximum opportunity to develop in the

States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) rules. It is strongly recommended that U-6 and
U-8 play 4 v 4. UYSA shall not sanction games involving teams under 10 or younger
unless
such
games are
conducted with not more than eight (8) players per side. (National rule 4036 section

3

area

game.
