COED RULES

 Seven (7) players on the field. 3 men, 3 women, 1 goalkeeper (may be male or female) 

   A. A team may start the game with no less than four (4) players. 

   B. If a team is short 1 female, they can not replace the female with a male player(the team must play with 5 players.)

3. A female must take all free kicks in her teams’ offensive half only. In the defensive half, anybody can take the kick. 

4. A female must touch the ball in her teams’ offensive half before the team can score (center line is considered the offensive half). Once the ball is touched by a female, it is live until it crosses the half line. It then has to be touched by a female again when it crosses back into the offensive zone before that team can score.

  A. If a shot deflect off of a defensive player and goes in—it’s a goal. 

  B. If it deflects off of an offensive female and goes in—it’s a goal. 

  C. If it deflects off of an offensive male and goes in & it must be below the white line-its a goal. 

  D. If a shot is taken by a male and deflects off the keeper and goes in, it’s a goal—if the original shot been a legal shot had the keeper not touched it.
