Game Rules

Each team will have four or five players on the field at a time. There will be no goalies.

Each player must play at least half of each game.

Play will start with a kick-off at center field. At random, one team will be selected to kick-off. Opposing players must be at least five yards behind the kickoff.

When a goal is scored, the ball will be returned to center field and the opposing team will kick-off.

Coaches are encouraged to stay on the playing field, supporting players and bringing balls back in play when necessary. Coaches will also act as referees and time-keepers.

If a ball goes out of the field of play, a coach will bring the ball back in play without adversely affecting either team.  Thrown balls should be kept low to the ground to avoid player collisions.

Final scores will not be recorded.

Coaches are encouraged to rotate players as seems necessary and appropriate within the periods.

Teams should shake hands at the end of each game and say a cheer for their opponents.

Please leave dogs at home.  Everybody loves dogs, and we know that your's is very gentle.  But some children are terrified and we've had numerous complaints in the past.
