TOURNAMENT AND SIDELINE BEHAVIOR:

Apex Soccer Academy and 5v5 Soccer kindly request that parents allow the players to play and the referees to officiate. Coaches, we kindly ask the same of you. Occasionally, things may not go as planned. Please contribute to fostering a fun atmosphere for the summer event. The goal of these tournaments is to offer an enjoyable summer experience for players and families. We can provide coaching during our upcoming training sessions. Let us strive to simply allow them to play.

In light of the U.S. Soccer Federation's new Referee Abuse Prevention Policy, our sport and club are dedicated to creating a safer and more respectful environment for officials at all levels. To learn more about this new policy and read the perspective of our founder, Skye Eddy, please see our latest blog article.

FROM 5V5 SOCCER:

PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR PARENTS

We want to remind everyone of our zero tolerance policy for referee abuse at 5v5 Soccer. As we aim to create a positive and fun tournament, it is crucial that we maintain a supportive sideline environment. While competition is part of the game, let's remember to be respectful and encouraging. Referees play a vital role in ensuring fair play, and we must treat them with respect.


PLEASE REMEMBER TO:

‣ Encourage positive behavior
‣ Cheer and support without aggression
‣ Communicate with respect
‣ Focus on player development


By following these guidelines, we can create a safe and inclusive atmosphere for everyone involved. This should extend to how we treat all team supporters, coaches, staff members, players on both teams and our officials.


A FEW POINTS OF EMPHASIS ON THE 5V5 SOCCER RULES


Touchline (Sideline) Restarts: In place of throw-ins will be kick-ins OR a dribble in with the ball placed stationary on the touchline. A player may not directly kick a ball into the goal from its stationary restart position. A player may also dribble the ball into play and after the ball makes a full rotation may then be kicked into the goal. Kick-ins will be treated as indirect kicks until dribbled.


Direct Restarts: A Corner Kick and Kickoff are Direct Kicks. The kick-off may go in any direction.


Goal Kick: Any time a Goal Kick is required, the goalkeeper will execute a Goal Clearance (ball must leave the Penalty Arc). The goalkeeper will start with the ball in their hands and may either (1) Throw or roll the ball, (2) Put the ball down and pass/kick, (3) put the ball down and dribble out of the Penalty Arc.


Once the ball has been put down, the ball is effectively “live”, meaning defending players may enter the penalty arc. The goalkeeper must release the ball within four seconds. Failure to execute the Goal Clearance within 4 seconds will result in an Indirect kick at the top of the arc for the opposition. A goal may not be scored directly from a goal clearance. Once the ball is OUTSIDE the Penalty Arc, a goal may be scored from anywhere on the field. The ball may not be punted or drop-kicked. Infractions will result in an Indirect Kick at the top of the arc for the opposition.


Thank you for making 5v5 Soccer a great experience. Let's celebrate the joy of the game and promote sportsmanship together!


Best regards,

Andrew Vorce

President 5v5 Soccer
