SOCCER REGULATIONS - STATEWIDE
Rules and Regulations for Boys and Girls              Last updated on 21/06/2016
 
 
Matches will be played under Football Federation Tasmania rules subject to variations listed below:
 
1. BOYS:  The game shall consist of two halves of 40 minutes. There will be a break of ten minutes at half time.
    GIRLS:  The game shall consist of two halves of 35 minutes.  There will be a break of five minutes at half time.
 
2. The venue will be decided by the host school but the pitch must be of Football Federation Tasmania dimensions.
 
3. If at the end of the game a tie exists there will be a 10 minute break, then extra time of 2 x 5 minute periods will be played. There will be no break between the two periods of extra time. If the match is still tied after extra time a penalty shoot-out should take place to determine the winner.
 
Shootout Format
Initially the shootout starts with five frames. In each frame, one player from each team will take a penalty shot. The shots go back and forth until one team is mathematically eliminated, thus negating the necessity of additional frames.
If the two teams are tied after five frames, they must each select an additional player to shoot in the sixth frame, and so on. A player may not shoot a second penalty shot until every player on the pitch has taken their first, including the goalkeepers. If this rare phenomenon occurs, the teams cycle around again using the same order they originally selected.
 
4. SATIS will be responsible for appointing officials for the game.
 
5. Teams will consist of eleven players and four interchange players.
 
6. Qualified referees are to be appointed to control matches.
 
7. The home team is responsible for supplying three suitable match balls.
 
8. Each school shall provide:
     a. A competent line person
     b. A team sheet with names and numbers of all players. A maximum of 15 players is allowed on each team sheet, allowing four interchange players per team.         Players may be freely interchanged at any time during the game with the permission of the referee. All such changes are to occur at the half way line. Teams must wait at least 5 minutes between such changes.
 
9.  A minimum of seven players is required to commence a game.
 
10.  All players must have a number on their shirt.
