The clock will only stop at the referee’s discretion in the case of an injury or an unusual delay. Game time is forfeit time. Teams must have four (4) players present to start a game and to avoid a forfeit. Overtime will be three (3) minutes in length and any additional overtimes will consist of a three (3) person shoot out. The goal is 6 feet high, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep, and is placed against the walls at each end of the playing area.

PLAYERS: Each team uses five (5) players on the floor. A team will play with one or two people short if the referee cites a player or team for unethical conduct, delay of game, or violent conduct. Free substitution is permitted with players changing while the flow of the game continues.

OFF SIDES: There are no off sides in indoor soccer.

DELAY OF GAME: A delay of game penalty is called if: 1) A player deliberately puts the ball out of play. 2) There are too many players on the floor. 3) The goal keep carries the ball for more than 4 steps, or holds it for more than 5 seconds. 4) Defending players consistently line up closer than 10 feet for direct or indirect kicks.

PENALTY KICK: A penalty kick is awarded to a player when a defender intentionally commits an offense in the penalty area (25' x 30'). The kick is taken from the penalty spot (24' directly in front of the goal and : 1) Only the player taking the kick and the goal keep may play the ball. 2) All other players must be outside the penalty area. 3) The player taking the kick must kick the ball forward and may not play the ball a second time.
