U08 & U09 Interclub

Rules of Competition

Beginning Fall 2021, additional key modifications will be made to align with WYS / SYSA recommended rules:

• A “Build out line” is used for goal kicks and when the goalkeeper handles the ball.

• Goalkeeper ​cannot “punt” the ball​ (must roll, throw or play the ball off the ground).

• Deliberately ​heading the ball is not allowed​ (results in an indirect free kick).

• Ball can travel any direction when play is started/restarted from the center

Additional Officiating Fundamentals at this age level as well as the full Laws of the game are available.
