RULES
- Matches will be 7-a-side at GOALS. If a team has facilities, and BOTH schools agree, it is possible to play there instead.
- Y5/6 GIRLS ONLY.
- Rolling substitutes may be made at any time after consulting with the referee.
- It is recommended that matches are 10 min each way, with a 2 min break for half time if played at Goals. Timings can be changed if matches are played elsewhere.
- Normal football rules apply (no restrictions re: penalty areas/height of ball etc). No offsides or retreat line. Goalkeepers may pick up back-passes.
- Teachers to referee. Alternatively, a qualified referee may take charge but must have been CRB checked. Parents without appropriate qualifications are not permitted to referee.
- 3 pts for a win, 1 pt for a draw, 0 pts for a loss. If teams are level, the result between the two teams decides the position. If teams are still level, the position is shared.
- The top three from each group will progress to Stage Two in the New Year.
