About Acton Recreational Indoor Co-ed
The indoor Co-Ed league is intended to be recreational, social soccer. Everyone is expected to try their best to win, and every player is expected to use their soccer skills to the best of their ability. At the same time, we all go to work the next day and all players (especially skillful ones) are expected to take extra care given the wide ranges of ability in the league. We follow the OSA "rules for indoor soccer" with the following extra house rules:
There must be a minimum of two female players on the field at all times, and that teams with less females on the field play short-handed.
* If this rule is impractical due to who has registered and/or who shows up to a particular game, the rule is to be modified by agreement of both teams and the referee on a game-to-game basis. *
While physical contact in the official outdoor game is legal, in this league contact is deemed to be "unsporting conduct" if there is a wide disparity in size and skill and physical contact is used, or if the level of contact is inconsistent with a recreational, coed, indoor league.
As an example of how the league should run, teams are encouraged to lend players to the opposition if the other team is "short" of players.
If a player or team finds this level of play not competitive enough, they should sign up for the men's or women's leagues instead. Acton SC will help any player to make this switch without cost to make sure that all players enjoy their sessions.
We have grown from eight teams to ten teams to 14 to 18 teams. Games were great fun, with healthy competition between teams and with very few free kicks during the season.
For this season - we are again splitting into "Divisions" and scheduling games to avoid disparity in skill levels to try to keep games fun and close.
The finals day is a bit more intense for each session, with fabulous championship games each time.
CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES:
Games are 25 minutes with no half-time.
Same rules as during season except that if a game is tied at the end of regulation, there is a penalty shootout. Three penalties per team and then if it is still tied it goes to sudden death. Only players on the field at the end of play may take penalties. If one team had fewer players on the field than the other, once all the "small team"'s player have taken shots it is the option of the other team whether to complete their sequence or to also start again at the beginning.
Only registered players allocated to the team roster may play. Two girls on the field at the same time - or play short (same as regular season).
As during the regular season, if both teams agree to vary the rule to have only one female player on the field (say), then the game may go ahead and the winner proceeds to the next round.
If a team has insufficient players, they may borrow from another team BUT they forfeit the game. In other words, the team gets a game, but can't progress. If both teams have the same problem, then if both teams agree on a way to play the game, the winners can progress but will likely have to forfeit the next game.
Referee must be informed of all such arrangements and must agree with the decision by the teams.
Two yellow cards during championship: miss next game.
Red card in championships: miss next two games.
