BUBBLE SOCCER RULES

Please note, while competitiveness is not discouraged, it should be remembered that novice players need some encouragement and we do not support a "win at all costs" philosophy. All rules are open to the interpretation of the Referee and their decision is final.

  3. THE GAME
    1. Kick-Off – The ball will be placed in the center of the field, and teams line up along their goal line. When the whistle blows, teams may run to the ball for possession. This will occur every time a goal is scored.

    6. members stay in front of the goals, this is acceptable.
    7. Free Kicks – Free kicks are given at the discretion of the referee. If players are
    8. playing in an overly aggressive manner then a free kick will be awarded to the
