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.
CODES OF CONDUCT
- It is expected in Schools’ Football that all involved maintain high standards regarding fair play and sportsmanship. Please ensure that the codes of conduct for players, coaches and spectators are strictly maintained. In this way we can maintain the good reputation of Barking & Dagenham Schools. Copies are available on the website.
