Coaches Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Regional Championship will adhere to the U.S. Futsal Laws of the game, as accepted and published on the USFF website at:[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”see-through-2″ color_override=”#333333″ hover_color_override=”#b74949″ hover_text_color_override=”#000000″ icon_family=”none” text=”Futsal Laws” css_animation=”bounce” url=”https:\/\/futsal.com\/alexpara\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Futsal-Laws-of-the-Game20181010_LR.pdf”][vc_column_text]Except as modified or expanded for this Championship and published below.<\/p>\n

Teams must be at their Court at least fifteen minutes before their match, and present their USFF Player Passes to the official at the Court, as well as a copy of their Player Roster (which clearly identifies each player\u2019s Jersey<\/p>\n

Number).\u00a0\u00a0The Referee will review the passes and rosters.\u00a0\u00a0Upon completion of the match each coach must retrieve the passes from the Scorekeeper[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]A player must distribute the ball within 4 seconds of any restart and the goalkeeper must distribute the ball within 4 seconds whenever the keeper is in possession of the ball.<\/p>\n

Advise your players that the ball must be stationary and placed on the touchline or 9\u201d behind the line when placing the ball back into play with a kick in.\u00a0\u00a0The player\u2019s foot must also be on the touchline, or off the court when striking the ball during a kick in (foot fouls are the same as during a throw-in in soccer). A violation of this will result in a possession turnover.<\/p>\n

Following each game, coaches are required to report to the timekeeper and verify the official Game card to ensure the score is correctly reported. Coaches may also be requested to select game All-Stars upon completion of each game.\u00a0Remember to retrieve Player passes as well<\/strong>.On the spectators\u2019 sideline, spectators are to remain behind the designated line.\u00a0\u00a0No one will be allowed behind either end line<\/p>\n

All teams must shake hands at the end of each game as a gesture of friendship and sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

Regional and National Championship rosters may include up to 14 participating players.<\/p>\n

The Rules & Disciplinary Committee reserves the right to decide on any\/all matters and its interpretation of these rules shall be final.\u00a0No protests will be entertained upon Committee decision \/ ruling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Under no circumstances will the Tournament Committee or staff be responsible for any part of any expenses, including tournament fee, incurred by any team due to, but not limited to, part or total cancellation of this tournament.<\/p>\n

Rules & Disciplinary Committee:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don Evans(Chair), Jeff Allen (Co-Chair), Tony\u00a0Ponce, Keith Matney (alternate)<\/p>\n

We hope to make this event a very enjoyable experience for you and your family.\u00a0\u00a0On behalf of U.S. Futsal, I wish your team the best of luck and sportsmanship.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
