2010 Spring Futsal
Who: Kindergarten through 12th- Grade Soccer Players (High School teams to be Co-Ed)
What: Willamette United and Tualatin Indoor Soccer Center are proud to offer a Futsal league for all youth teams in the spring of 2010! The Tualatin Indoor Soccer Center is 15 minutes from Wilsonville and West Linn, and has a field the size of an ice hockey rink with small goals built into the end walls. The field is made of astro-turf and is surrounded by plexi-glass and fiberglass walls. For Futsal games, the arena is divided and goals are added back to back. Lines are painted to outline the field.
Futsal is slightly different from indoor soccer, which uses the entire field and sidewalls. Futsal dates back to the 1930s and is played worldwide at every level. Futsal games are played on basketball-sized courts, without the use of the center’s sidewalls. Substitutions are made on the fly and the game emphasizes ball possession and ball handling due to the fact that each player gets at least 80 touches on the ball per game. The short pass and team work is heavily emphasized. Many experts believe that Futsal builds better outdoor soccer playing skills than the indoor game.
Futsal program formats for the spring 2010 season:
ALL teams will have 8 players and be coached by parent volunteers. Players will play 5v5 including a goal keeper with 22 minute halves. All players must play at least 50% of each game unless there is an injury or disciplinary action.
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade – $100 per player fee. K-2nd grade Futsal games will be played on Saturdays in a league format. A skills’ training program will be offered for Kindergarten – 2nd Graders on Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. Kindergarteners will train from 4-5 p.m. and then the 1st & 2nd graders get the center from 5-6 p.m. Willamette United staff coaches will teach fundamentals of the game. The skills session is included in the registration fee of $100.
Grades 3-8 - $75 per player fee. Futsal games will be played on Saturdays, Sundays and possibly some week-days in a league format.
Grades 9-12 – $75 per player fee. Teams will be Co-Ed! Futsal games will be played on week-ends as time is available and week-days in a league format.

General Rules of Play:
FIFA FUTSAL RULES
§ There are 4 field players and a Goal Keeper (GK)
§ No offside
§ GK can only handle the ball (by feet or hands) for 4 seconds in their own half. If they are in opponents half, they have no time-handling restrictions.
§ GK cannot play by hand ANY ball played back to them including head and chest.
§ Only one pass back to the GK per possession. Unless the ball crosses the half way line or is touched by an opponent.
§ 22-minute halves for league play. 1 minute for half time and each coach may call (1) one-minute time out per game when in possession of the ball. Time out requests are made to the referee. Players must remain on the pitch during a time out.
§ Substitutions - Free substitutions are made “on the fly”. Player can only enter or leave the game in the substitution areas immediately in front of their respective benches, and a player may only enter a game after the player they are replacing has left the field. Failure to do so results in a caution and an indirect free kick is taken from where the ball was situated when the game was stopped to caution the player.
§ Kick off - Opposing players must give 3 yards until ball is in play
BALL OUT OF PLAY
Kick in
§ A ball kicked out over the touch line (side line) by one team becomes the other teams ball. The team kicking in has 4 seconds to get the ball back in play or it becomes opponent’s kick in. Defense must give 5 yards distance. The referee will give a visual count with his hand. Players taking kick in can not step into the field while kicking ball back into play.
§ If the ball hits the ceiling, a kick in is taken at the closest point on the nearest touchline, running parallel to the goal line
§ Goals cannot be scored from kick-ins.
Goal Clearance
§ Futsal for goal kick. When the offensive team puts the ball over the end line, the other team gets the ball. The goalie must throw the ball within 4 seconds of retrieving it and put it back into play by throwing it.
§ The throw must leave the penalty area, but it must touch the ground on the GK’s half of the field (can’t throw ball past half-line).
§ Opposing team must stay out of penalty area during a goal clearance. If opposing players touches ball before it leaves penalty area, GK retakes the throw. The GK cannot touch ball again until another player touches it.
Corner Kick
§ There is no arc, kick is taken at the point where goal line and touch line meet (at corner)
FOULS AND MISCONDUCT
Fouls
§ Slide tackling is a major foul in Futsal. It is not allowed in any situation where there is contact between players or where referees believe that contact could have resulted.
Exceptions
§ The GK is allowed to slide in an attempt to clear the ball, if in referees’ judgment; his slide is an attempt only to make contact with the ball, not the opponent. If GK slid is reckless (a foot in air, a hook, rolling tackle) it is a foul and possibly a card-able offense.
§ A field player may slide in instances where there is not an opponent close by and no injury is likely to occur. This would most likely happen when a player is attempting to stop the ball from going out of bound or an offensive player sliding to knock the ball into the goal where the is not other defensive player close to the play.
§ Players and coaches should use this general rule, if you slide tackle near a player, assume if will be called a major penalty.
6th Accumulated foul
§ Upon a team’s 6th accumulated foul in each half, the defending team cannot build a wall to block the kick. The player taking the kick must be clearly identified and the player taking the kick must make an attempt at the goal. All other players must remain behind the ball.
§ Infringements occurring in penalty area (not deemed a PK) will be taken at the nearest point on the penalty arc.
§ Infringements occurring within 12 meters of the goal will be punished with a direct kick from the spot of the infringement.
§ Infringements occurring farther than 12 meters of the goal will be punished with a direct kick from the second penalty spot.
Accumulated Fouls resulting in Direct Kick
§ Kicking or attempting to kick an opponent
§ Tripping or attempting to trip an opponent
§ Jumping at an opponent
§ Charges an opponent (Shoulder Charging)
§ Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
§ Pushes an opponent
§ Holding an opponent
§ Spits at an opponent
§ Slide tackles with exceptions above
Sending Off Fouls
§ Handling the ball deliberately, except for GK in their area. Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving toward the goal. Player sent off cannot re-enter the game. Substitution is allowed after 2 minutes.
No shoulder charging.
Indirect Free Kick
§ 5 yards of distance from kicker to set up wall, and ball is in play after it has been touched. If the kicking team takes more time than 4 seconds to take the kick, it becomes the opposition’s indirect kick.
Details regarding spring futsal are provided below. I have also added some additional information in hopes of clarifying some of the "more frequently asked questions".
How do I volunteer?
Every indoor futsal team needs at least one parent volunteer coach.... Spring is a great time to volunteer, as the time commitment is fairly small without any weekly practices. To volunteer, go to www.wusc.net and complete the "Spring Coach" section or call the Club at 503 638-9777.
If you have any further questions, please email the Club at soccer@wusc.net.
