(Field size and goal size may vary due to available space/resources.)

Standings will be determined on the “three-point system” as follows:

• WIN = 3 points
• TIE = 1 point
• LOSS = 0 points
• GOAL = 0 points
• SHUTOUT = 0 points
• FORFEIT = 3 points (scored as a 1-0 win)
• SEND OFF = 1 point deduction for each send off of a player or substitute.
• EJECTION = 1 point deduction for each ejection of a team official or spectator.

If teams are tied on points at the end of pool play, their final standings will be determined using the following tie-breaker criteria in sequence:

• Head-to-Head Result: The winner of the direct match between tied teams (not applicable if more than two teams are tied).
• Fewest Blowout Matches: The team with the fewest number of match blowouts (max goal differential allowed 5)
• Fewest Goals Allowed: The team that has conceded the fewest goals.
• Most Wins: The team with the highest number of victories.
• Most Shutout Wins: The team with the most shutout victories (wins only).
• Coin Flip: If still tied, a coin flip will determine the standings.

These criteria apply to Area play divisions where an Area divisional champion may be required.

Each team is allowed up-to two (2) certified and approved Coaches (i.e. Head Coach and Assistant Coach). Both Coaches must stay within the Coaches' Area during the match, REGARDLESS of whether the area is marked on the field. This area is defined as a space 1-1½ yards back from the touch line and extends 10 yards either side of the halfway line.

(Coaches should use the center circle as a guide when the coaching area is not marked.)

Please be aware that pets are NOT allowed at School fields - AT ANY TIME. The presence of pets at any school field, will lead to the revoking of our permits.

While some cities do allow leashed pets at city parks, they are NEVER allowed at the field during a practice or game.

For the safety of ALL our players and volunteers - please leave your pets at home.
