SPORTSMANSHIP, AGGRESSION & RULES

REMEMBER THIS IS A FUN LEAGUE - PLAY FAIR & HAVE FUN

IT'S NOT THE WORLD CUP, AGGRESSIVE PLAY AGAINST YOUR OPPONENT IS NOT WORTH THE PRIZE OF $75 AT NED DEVINE'S

USC has received complaints about players playing too aggressively and constantly arguing the rules. Players are concerned that the recreational aspect of the league has diminished.

As most players have been in the league for awhile USC is disappointed to hear that some teams are not getting along. We would hope that you would not want to hurt your opponent and that you will treat each other with respect.

If there are any issues you should feel comfortable enough to call a time-out and talk to your opponent. If this still doesn't help then talk to the convener.

SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING DISPUTES

1. Before the game starts each the captains should agree on (arrive early so it doesn't interfere with game time):

- What obstacles are considered out

- Crease Area (protection area for the goalie)

- Goal Area (where goalie can handle the ball)

2. With soccer there will always be incidental contact, e.g., two players going after the ball. However, there is no need for aggressive charging or holding onto your opponent. It's not fun and no one wants go to work with bruises or broken bones. If you charge into someone, apologize.

2. Know the rules and make sure any new players know them.

3. Handball is usually not a fault (if in doubt do not call it): This is the most understood rule in soccer. The official FIFA rules are that the ball must be 'handled deliberately.' Note the words 'handled' (the words touch or handball are not used in the rules) and 'deliberately' (must be intentional), make it rare for a ball contacting a hand to be a fault. In indoor soccer where the gym is small and the ball bounces around a lot, the ball is constantly hitting players in the hand through no fault of the player. Think about it, why should you be penalized if someone kicks the ball and it hits your hand. If you call handball every time the ball hits someone's hand you won't get much playing time as you'll be constantly stopping.

4. Take a half-time break even in the 60 minute games to calm down. This tends to reduce aggressive play.

5. Call your own faults so as not to aggravate the other team.

Standings Update & Schedule Notes: All teams play about the same amount of time averaging 60 minutes a week overall, however not all teams play the same amount of games as some teams are off twice but have more 75 minute games and some teams are only off once but have more 60 minute games. As a result win percentage will continue be used to determine placement of the teams. Wins are counted as 1 and a tie as 0.5 in the formula. Due to growth in youth sports we were unable to get any more gym space.

Playoff Format

Playoffs will consist of 2 halves with a short break. Based on feedback from the summer season the shorter playing times of 60 and 75 minutes teams will go strait to a shot-out if there is still a tie; in other words there will be no over-time:

8 to 9 pm games (60 minutes playing time): Play until 7:55 or 8:55 respectively. If there is a tie go to shoot-out (see below).

7:30 - 8:45 and 8:45 to 10 pm (75 minutes playing time): Play until 8:40 and 9:55 respectively. If there is a tie go to shoot-out (see below). In the case of a double header the team with the double header may choose to shorten games by 10 minutes but must state this before the game in front of the convener and other team captain.

8:30 to 10 pm: Play 2-35 minute halves. If there is a tie go to a 10-minute overtime period in which the first goal to score wins.

Shoot-out procedures: 3 players from each team get to take a penalty shot. One of the shooters from each team must be female. After 3 rounds, the team with the most goals wins. If tied, each team alternates shooters until tie is broken per pair of shooters.
