  • We will be using two fields with 4 mini fields on each field.

  • We have two leagues of 9 teams each that are level appropriate. 

  • Each league will be assigned to a field.

  • Cleats or sneakers are fine and shin pads are strongly recommended.

  • Team shirts will be provided on the day.

 

Tournament Format and Rules (please read carefully)

  • This is a 3-touch tournament (If the ball hits any part of your body that is counted as a touch)

  • 5 versus 5

  • Player substitutions can be made on the fly. 

  • Please enter the field as your player leaves the field. 

  • Playing with 6 players will result in a turnover.

  • Small Goals. Can shoot and score from anywhere.

  • Three corners a penalty from 3/4 field. If you concede 3 corners, then your opponent takes a penalty from 3/4 field from inside their half. 

  • No goalie. After penalty, corner count resets. 

  • Thrown ins are taken with feet and not thrown in.

  • The HONOUR system is in place for this event. 

  • Please note there will be limited on field refs and more roving refs so when in doubt the call must go to your opponents.

  • The format allows for a competitive yet friendly and non-aggressive environment. Any untoward behaviour on or off the field including taunting, disrespect, and bad language will not be tolerated and may result in being ejected from the event.

  • Heavy tackles, slide tackles or aggressive play makes no sense with 3 touch soccer!

 

 

Turnover: If you touch the ball 4 times it’s an immediate turnover where your opponent takes possession. 

3 feet space must be given. Turnover balls are direct and can be taken as a shot on goal.

 

  • If you touch the ball 3 times, then the ball becomes available to either a teammate or an opposition player.

  • Obvious hand balls (when your arm is away from your body) is an immediate turnover.

  • Players guarding the goal may not use their hands.

  • Deliberate catching or handling of the ball will result in a penalty.

  • Free kicks are direct.

  • Please respect roving refs decisions and remember when in doubt the decision goes to your opponents.

     

  • Expect to play 7 or 8 matches of either 16 or 18 minutes with a 4- or 7-minute transition between matches (to be confirmed as teams are currently being finalized).

  • Total playing time will be either 128 minutes or 126 minutes. It’s a lot of soccer!!

  • Two Horn blasts mean matches start. One long blast means end of match.
