GAME RULES:
Players may run with the ball anywhere on the court or the field until they are touch-tagged by an opposing team player, after they are tagged they have 3 steps to anchor a pivot foot, as in basketball, and pass off or shoot the ball.
Neither of the team’s players are allowed inside the goal zone. This is the 3 second zone in basketball, for indoor. We suggest that you shorten this zone by half and widen it by 3 to feet on each side, you can mark this area with tape or cones.
This is a non-contact sport! No stripping of the ball from another player, no pushing and no unnecessary contact or roughness is allowed.
A loose ball can be picked up by players from either team, however kicking a loose ball is not allowed.
The ball can be kicked, bounced or thrown for passing or to score.
Indoors– When a score is made the team’s goalie that was scored against, passes the ball back into play from the goalie zone.
Outdoors– After scoring, the scoring team flies or kicks off the ball.
VIOLATIONS:
When a player steps out of bounds with the ball in their possession, the ball goes to the other team, at the point where the player stepped out of bounds.
Unnecessary contact and the offensive team players entering into the goalie zone results in a loss of possession of the ball.
Unnecessary roughness or the defenders stepping into their own goal zone, results in one penalty shot. Starting from center court or field, the chosen or fouled player is allowed a “ one-on-one” with the goalie. The ball can be thrown or kicked into the goal or thrown or kicked through the basketball hoop ( indoor). If a score is made, the opposing team puts the ball back into play, if the fouled team misses the goal, they put ball back in play from center court or field.
OUTDOOR VERSION OF OUT OF BOUNDS
Out of bounds balls going to the offensive team on the defender’s side of the field, are put back into play in a touch football manner, both team’s players line up and the ball is hiked from the line where the ball went out of bounds.
Out of bounds balls going to the defensive team on their side of the field, are put back into play in a basketball or soccer manner, a player is given the ball at the out of bounds point and they throw it back into play.
