PLAYER and TEAM BEHAVIOR
Teams or individuals who show a lack of respect to the officials, staff, players, and/or spectators of the league may have to immediately forfeit all games and will not be allowed to return. Teams are responsible for the actions and behavior of their players, coaches, parents, and fans on the fields as well as in the Grand Slam Complex. GAMEFACE and Grand Slam will not tolerate fighting, profanity or any other action seen as unsportsmanlike conduct or offensive to others. GAMEFACE reserves the right to suspend any individual or team based on inappropriate behavior by one or all parties involved. Any individual or team who is suspended for the duration of the season will not receive a refund.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
If GAMEFACE decides it is unable to host competition that day or evening because of inclement weather, we will contact all team representatives who are scheduled to be participating that day.

If GAMEFACE does not cancel league games during inclement weather and teams decide on their own that they will not participate, those games will be considered a forfeit. Under no circumstances will these games be rescheduled due to the fact that GAMEFACE continued to run the league. If school districts decide to close school, it does not necessarily mean the soccer leagues will be cancelled.

Rules & Interpretations:
1. Start of Game: All games will start on time unless there would be a serious injury that would cause a delay. The kick-off can be played forward or backward, can be scored directly. Players on the defensive side of the ball must be outside the center circle.
2. Off-sides: There are no off-sides.
3. Dead Balls: All dead ball situations are DIRECT free kicks. Defenders must be 5 yards away from the ball on all kicks. "Defensive" restarts resulting from a foul in the box may be kicked from anywhere in the circle.
4. Penalty Kick: A penalty kick will be awarded when the offensive team is awarded a free kick violation inside the defensive penalty area. The goalkeeper is allowed to move laterally before the ball is kicked. The kick will be taken from the white hash mark inside of the penalty circle. The kicker cannot play the ball again unless a defending team’s player touches it. All players must stand outside the arc until ball is played.
5. Goalkeepers: Upon gaining possession with the hands, goalkeepers are allowed unlimited steps; however, the ball must be played within 6 seconds.

The keeper can grab the ball while standing inside the box for air balls outside the box. The keeper may not drop- kick or punt the ball. The keeper may throw the ball; but not over midfield on the fly without the ball making contact with the floor or another player. In both cases violation of this will result in a free kick from midfield.
