Boys Rules
  1. NO BODYCHECKING OR COLLISIONS: All players must play the ball. No “man/ball”. Bodychecking an opponent to the ground will result in a fast break for the opponent as an unnecessary roughness penalty.
  2. PENALTIES – All regular penalties are called. Time-serving Personal Fouls will require the offending player to leave the field for the fast break. Time-serving technical fouls will require a fast break but the offending player does NOT have to leave the field. Multi-minute and more than one foul on the same play will lead to a 3v1 fast break.
  3. PENALTY ENFORCEMENT – 3 on 2/1 fast break from midfield. 1 non-offending midfielder begins 5 yards ahead of the midfield line. All other players begin behind the midline. All players released on a SINGLE whistle.
  4. Advancement of the Ball (14U/JV Only) – 10-Second Count to advance ball past midfield.
  5. Over-and-Back  – Normal over-and-back rules will apply once ball crosses midfield.
  6. One Pass Rule (8U and 10U Only) – One pass must be made/attempted anywhere, including goalie clear, before a shot can be taken
Girls Rules

    • K/2 and 3/4 – NO CHECKING
    • 5/6 and 7/8 – Modified Checking.
  2. One Pass Rule (K/2 and 3/4 only) – One pass must be made/attempted anywhere, including goalie clear, before a shot can be taken
