RULES:
- Dribble-Ins: If the ball goes out of bounds on the side. The player must stop the ball on the out of bounds line and then is allowed to dribble-in or pass the ball back in play. Opposing team must give the out of bounds player 5 feet. The Dribble-In rule does not apply to Goal-Kicks or Corner-Kicks where the player must pass the ball back into play
- KickOffs: A player cannot score from the kick-off
- Goalies: Goalies are not allowed to throw the ball in the air past 1/2 field. If ball is thrown beyond mid-field an indirect free kick is awarded at mid-field. Goalies are allowed to play it with their feet in the air past 1/2 field.
- Goal Kicks: Goalies may throw the ball in with their hands or pass it in with their feet for goal kicks
- Passback to Goalies: Passing the ball back to the goalie is allowed but goalie must use feet only
- 4 Second Rule: When the ball goes out of bounds, once the player places the ball on the line they have 4 seconds to put the ball back in play. Goalies have 4 seconds to release the ball on goal kicks.

While I understand we are all competitive people and fun friendly competition is why we play the game. We have a zero tolerance for malicious and/or out of control behavior. As team captains, if anyone on your team is out of control or being malicious please warn them. Do what you need in order to calm the player down even if it is taking the player out of the game.
Since we do not have referees, I have designated a few trusted individuals to be League Administrators. If one of the following league administrators witnesses malicious behavior they have the authority to ask the player to leave, and if it is extremely malicious the player may be kicked out of the league. This will not be taken lightheartedly, and we want everyone to play, but our ultimate goal is for this to be a fun place for futsal.

Have fun! If there are any questions around any of the rules please let me know...
