Indoor Soccer Rules

In the event of a forfeit, a team must give management 48 hours’ notice. If no notice is given, a $50 forfeit fee is payable and must be paid on the next scheduled game before the game commences.

 

This is a social competition. Adelaide Indoor Soccer Centre reserves the right to review the eligibility for teams and players to continue in the competition if there are examples of poor behaviour or indiscipline. AISC’s Fair Play Policy applies to all teams playing in the centre. Bad sportsmanship towards players, officials or spectators will not be tolerated.  If poor behaviour occurs (foul language, pushing or fighting with spectators, team members or referees) penalties may include the following:

All rulings and judgments regarding the conduct of players and rule interpretation are at the discretion of Adelaide Indoor Soccer Centre Management.

 

Refer to the start. A finals game resulting in a draw after full time will go straight to penalties.

 

 Depending on schedule timings and referee discretion, the kick off might be delayed by a few minutes to allow late players to arrive. A team that has 4 players present must play with those 4 players until their other player/s arrive. It is upto referee discretion ( depending on the schedule) if the timer is started or time reduced when team/s dont have atleast 4 players which are needed to start the game. 

 

When kicking off from the central circle, the ball must be kicked backwards. The opposition may not be in the circle for the kick-off.

 

Fill in players are still required to pay the fee for the game.

 

Tuesday and Wednesday 2 x 20 min format : every 8 minutes approximately. 

Absolutely no tackles from behind. Tackles from side on are to have no body contact. All tackles will be left to the discretion of the referee and all decisions made from the referee are final. Arguing the point will only result in the player getting a yellow card. The referee has the right to allow play to go on after a foul if the team has an advantage.

 

A ball coming off a player exceeding the white line will result in an indirect free kick from where the ball was kicked. Any ball bouncing off the walls or ground will result in play. Saves made by the keeper in a high ball will be played on. (Note: only from a goalkeeper’s save).

Passing back to the goalkeeper may be used at any time during the game, but passing back to the same player will result in an in-direct free kick. If a substitute is made, the goalkeeper may pass to any player including the last player to pass back.

 

If a player is on the ground they are not permitted to affect play eg: play the ball. 

 

Players are given 5 seconds to kick the ball if they are shielding the ball against the wall or a free kick to the opposition will be given.

 

The semi-circle surrounding the goal simply means the goal keeper may not exit the circle at any time during play with their feet or arms and no player must enter the circle. This will result in a penalty kick. The goalkeeper has 5 seconds to kick the ball or an in-direct free kick to the opposition will be given.

 

Any attacking players entering the semi circle will result in a goal keeper’s ball.

 

Any defending players entering the semi circle will result in a penalty kick.

 

Goalkeepers must be on the white goal line when a penalty is taken. If the goalkeeper moves forward at any time, the penalty will be taken again. The penalty striker must be inside the white line located behind the penalty spot. If a penalty kick hits the wall and rebounds to the penalty taker, a goal kick will be given. All missed or saved penalties are automatically the goalkeeper’s ball. 

 

All cards given are at the discretion of the referee. An accumulation of small offences will attract cards. Rough play or abuse will not be permitted or tolerated.

 

Each individual playing a game or entering the centre is doing so at their own risk. Management will not take any responsibility or be liable for any injuries.

 

Players are responsible for their own property. Management will not take responsibility for lost or stolen property.

 

Management is committed to ensuring that all players are informed of any changes that may occur during the season. Management has the right to disqualify an individual or team if they see reason to.

 

Management is committed to ensuring that all players and spectators of Adelaide Indoor Soccer Centre are acting in a non-disruptive manner at all times. Management has the right to disqualify an individual or team if they are found to be causing disruptive behaviour to the venue and/or to surrounding neighbours. If a player/spectator from the Adelaide Indoor Soccer Centre is found to be disruptive either physically or verbally within the centre or is responsible for burnouts and other such activity outside the venue then they will be banned from the centre for a minimum of 1 season. If the activity is of a serious nature and jeopardises the safety of others including disturbing neighbours then police will be asked to the centre to deal with such individuals.
