R85 U6/U7 Soccer Field

R85 Official 2015 (rev 1) 9/01/15 16

“Soccer For Dummies” Soccer is:

a game played by two opposing teams, in two halves of equal time, with a spherical ball, on a rectangular field with a goal at each end.

The object of the game is to get the ball: entirely over your opponents’ goal line and inside their goal, without using your hands or arms.

After the kick-off, play is continuous until either: The ball entirely leaves the field of play, or The referee blows the whistle.

Play is restarted fairly based on why it was stopped. The referee’s job is to keep the game:

— SAFE, FAIR and FUN for everyone.
