Soccer is one of the simplest sports in the world. This may be the reason why it's the
most popular sport in the world.

[Type text] Page 14

Size of field: The field must be rectangle, that's pretty much it. Length: minimum 100 m
(110 yds) maximum 110 m (120 yds). Width: minimum 64 m (70 yds) maximum 75 m
(80 yds)
For a 5v5 soccer experience I use futsal regulation size dimensions. This creates an
amazing experience pushing technical versus kick and chase ball.

Ball Size:The ball size depends on age. Below is basic soccer rules sizes according to
our programs. We use the following sizes for all development programs.
3-5 y/o - size 4 - Size 3 is a good size to kick inside the house or back yard play.
However, they will outgrow size
3 fast and because of limited size the tow kick becomes a problem.
6-12 y/o - size 4- Size 4 will be used until about 11-12. It is a great size for development
and a futsal ball is size 4 so I prefer to develop players under 12 with 4's.
12-adult - size 5- This is the standard size for professional and adult soccer. Some
countries introduce size 5 to kids as young as 4. The ideas is more surface of ball =
more surface of boot.
Players: soccer is played by two teams preferably equal number. Max players per team
is 11 (Goalie + 10 field players). Team size is reduced by age. Some leagues play with
8 players for youth aged ten and under. And down to 6 per side for the under 5's. For
optimum development I use futsal rules 5v5.
Substitutions: Officially, you are only allowed 3 subs per game, however, depending on
modified rules this may be different. For youth leagues usually there is no cap on subs. A
substitution can only be performed when the
ball is not in play and your team has possession. (Ex) it's a throw in for your team, or
goal kick for your team. Substitutions cannot be made when the ball is in play (even if
your goalie has the ball in his/her hands.. this is still in play) This is different if your
playing futsal rules.

[Type text] Page 15

Starting the Game:The game is started at the center of the field. The team who kicks off
passes the ball Forward to a teammate at the referees signal. The opposing team is not
allowed to enter the center circle until the team kicks off.
Game in play:as long the ball stay in the field the game is in play. only exceptions is
when the referee blows his whistle for an infraction or offside. The ball is considered in
play as long as it is in side the goal and side lines. Furthermore, it's still in play as long as
it has contact with the line. Therefore, the ball may be touching the outer part of the goal
or side line and still be considered in play (This applies if the ball is in the air as well).
contact with the goal post, corner flag, and referee back in the field is still considered in
play. The referee is considered a fixture of the field.
GOAL: In the basic soccer rules the point of the game is to get the ball in the opposing
teams goal and the team with the most goals after the specified time is the winner. The
ball must cross the goal line to be a goal. Therefore, if the ball is still in contact with the
goal line in the inner part of the goal it is not a goal! I have seen pro's sweep through the
goal line to save their team from a goal. Everybody swears that it was already in but the
cameras show the ball was still in contact with the line (This applies if the ball is in the
air as well). This has happened in the world cup and causes some controversy and drama
as the human eye decides if it was a goal or not. No computer or sensor is used and FIFA
is against using technology for that purpose. However MLS (Major League Soccer) has
been looking into being the first professional league to introduce this technology. The
MLS has a reputation for "trying" new things.
How long is a game? For basic soccer rules a game is no more than 90 min long. Two
halves of 45 min (that's what the pros play..with a 15 min half time break)
Youth games range from 15-30 min halves with a 7-10 min half time.
NO HANDS! Alright, I know you probably knew this but here it is anyway. Only the
goalie can use their hands. the definition for hand ball is any part of between your fingers
(including nails) to your upper arm. Your shoulder is actually legal to use! One side note
about goalies. the goalie is not allowed to use their hands if the ball was kicked back to
them intentionally by any of his/her team mates. This rule is about 25 years old. in the
old days defenders, when under pressure, would pass the ball back to their goalie to
secure in their hands (this was a good rule change for spectators). Youth leagues under
10's don't really enforce this rule as most of the time it isn't an intentional pass back.
Coaches should not be teaching this as an option.
Out of Bounds: if the ball crosses the side line it is a throw in. The team who did not
touch the ball last before the ball crossed the line gets the throw in. If the ball crosses the
goal line two things may occur. If the team that is defending that goal line touches it out
it is a corner kick. If the team attacking that goal kicks it out it is a goal kick. Soccer is
very simple and very enjoyable. Don't complicate the basic soccer rules too much with
technical rules that only apply when playing competitively. Save your practical…
