Dear Coaches and Teams,
The tournament schedules are now posted for the 5v5 Soccer tournament in New Berlin, WI: Jan 19, 2026. You can view them using this link:
https://soccer.exposureevents.com/252710/5v5-new-berlin-wi/schedule
Please review the schedule to ensure you are in the correct division and that there are no conflicts with your bracket(s). Please be aware we do not have much room, if at all, for changing game schdules as we are at our max capacity for this event with the given field space and time frame. We have to start games at 7am to ensure we are done by 5pm sharp due to another rental at the OAW complex at 5pm. Schedules are subject to change, so be sure to check back on Saturday evening.
Please check your team in at the tournament headquarters tent 30 minutes prior to your first game. Remember to bring a printout of your team roster, along with proof of age for each of your players. Only one representative from each team needs to attend the check-in. Digital copies of the proof of age will be accepted if you prefer not to bring the physical documents.
Thank you, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Eddie Hamilton

IMPORTANT: 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 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,

President 5v5 Soccer
