Note (2) If a team who is allowed to substitute calls for a substitution then the other team can also sub at the same time.
Note (3) Should a player, including the goalkeeper, commit a Technical Offense within his/her own penalty area, the direct kick shall be taken from that part of the penalty area line which runs parallel to the goal line, at the point nearest to where the offence was committed. Penal Offences committed within the penalty area will continue to be punishable by a Penalty Kick. (Remember for Penal Offenses is it Physical or attempted physical contact against an opponent or a deliberate hand ball)

** Cleats are permitted at all age groups, and half time is always 5 minutes in all age groups

** MICRO Fields (U-5-6-7) please review diagram on CUSC website under Referee Rules

Mini Field Dimensions (U-8 through U-11)

There is NO Goal Area (6 yd box) on mini fields, so on a Goal Kick, the ball can be placed anywhere in the penalty box

For Penalty Kicks, the penalty spot is 8 yards from the goal line and not 12 yards like a normal 11 aside field
