| RULE | RULE EXPLANATION |
| GENERAL RULES | As far as possible rules follow KNVB football rules. Play nice, most of us have to study or work tomorrow. Winner team will receive a trophy. |
| KICK OFF STARTS FROM THE SPOT | Each kick off will be from the centre spot (Home team kicks first); the ball is permitted to go backwards or forwards. |
| UNLIMITED SUBSTITUTIONS | You can only make a sub when the ball is out of play (Free Kick, Penalty, ball leaves the field, or during a substitution already called). |
| SIN BIN | If a player plays rough, he or she will receive a warning. If this happens again the referee may decide to give him a yellow card. All yellow cards will be punished with a 3 minute sin bin, 2 yellow cards = a red and the player will be sent off. |
| RED CARDS | A player who receives a red card is prohibited in participating in their next game. If a team receives 2 red cards then the match is stopped and they forfeit. |
| NO METAL STUDS | Bladed studs or metal tipped boots are not allowed. |
| SHIN PADS | Shin pads are strongly recommended to avoid injuries – Players play at their own risk. |
| IT’S A 15 MIN GAME | The match will consist of 15 minutes |
| FREE KICKS | Free kicks are direct unless the referee says otherwise. Free kicks may be taken immediately unless the referee says otherwise. Players must be 7m away at 7v7 game from a free kick. |
| GOALKEEPERS | Keepers are allowed out of their box. Backpasses may not be handled by the keeper. Keepers may slide as long as it isn’t dangerous. |
| SLIDING TACKLES | A sliding tackle when a player is nearby that isn’t a foul is punished by an indirect free kick. A slide tackle that is also a foul or is dangerous is punished by a direct free kick (or a penalty if inside the area). |
| GOALKEEPERS AREA | If keeper’s area is not marked by lines 8 meter needs to be assumed. The referee decides when an offence happens inside or outside the ‘area’ |
| VIOLENCE IS NOT PERMITTED | Violence is never accepted and punishments range from long suspensions to permanent exclusion depending on the offence. |
| PENALTIES | Penalty spot is 9m from the goal. In the event of a tie during the final phase, the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout (5 per team). |
| BALLS | Each team must bring size 5 football balls. If there are no balls to play the match, the “home team” looses the match. |
| OFFSIDE | No offsides |
| PUNCTUALITY (Teams) | If your team is 5min late to the game, you will start the match loosing 1-0. If your team is 5-10 min late to the game, you will start the match loosing 2-0. If your team is 10-15 min late to the game, you will loose the match (3-0). |
| 7v7 FIELD SIZE | We will use half of the 11-a-side football pitch (as in the map). |
| THROW-IN | At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must face the field of play. The thrower must have part of each foot on the touch-line or on the ground outside the touch-line, and use both hands to deliver the ball from behind and over the head. |
