Scrimmage Game Notes
• Soccer and Scouting requires that all players play
at least half of each scrimmage game. Be sure to
rotate all team members in games accordingly. Use
the Game Day Roster sheet provided in our Organizational
Guide to track time played.
• Soccer and Scouting is a recreational introduction
to the game of soccer. A number of the traditional
rules of the game have been modified and simplified
to make this a fun experience for all. Make
it fun for the kids. Don’t focus on the score, who
is winning, or which player has scored the most
goals. Getting everyone involved gives everyone a
chance to succeed.
• Step onto the field. This is particularly important
for coaches of younger players. Help them by
teaching them the game. You are NOT obligated to
stand on the sideline during games. Get involved
and get in the action.
Soccer and Scouting Scrimmage Game Rules
We have attempted to simplify the rules of the game
into four areas: Kickoffs, Out-of-Bounds, Free Kicks,
and Offside. Here is a summary of the key rules:
Kickoff
1. A toss of the coin determines which team kicks
off.
2. A kickoff from the center of the field begins the
game.
3. A kickoff also occurs after a goal is scored. The
team that conceded the goal kicks off.
Out-of-Bounds
1. Play stops when the ball goes out of bounds.
2. According to where and how the ball crossed the
boundary line, the ball can be put back into play
in one of three ways, outlined below. In all three
cases, the player putting the ball back into play
cannot touch the ball again until another player
has touched the ball first.
a. With a Throw-In
• A throw-in is taken when the ball crosses
the sideline.
• The opposing team takes the throw-in.
• Both feet must be on the ground and behind
the sideline when the ball is released.
• Goals cannot be scored directly from a
throw-in.
b. With a Goal Kick
• A goal kick is taken when the ball crosses
the goal line when last kicked by an attacking
team player .
• A goal kick can be taken by anyone on the
defending team who is approximately six
yards from the goal line
• All opposing players must be outside of the
defensive goal area marked across the full
width of the field.
• Goals can be scored directly from a goal kick.
c. With a Corner Kick
• A corner kick is taken when the ball crosses
the goal line when last kicked by a defending
team player .
• A corner kick can be taken by anyone on the
attacking team.
• The corner kick is taken from the corner
closest to where the ball crossed the goal line.
• All opposing players must be at least 10
yards from the spot of the ball.
• Goals can be scored directly from a corner
kick.
• The ball must be released behind and over
the head.
