Kick-ins rather than throw-ins. All kicks are indirect with the exception of penalty kicks. Penalty kicks are taken from the 12-yard penalty area line. 8-yard mandatory buffer around free kicks.
No offsides.
After goal is scored, play is started with a kickoff from the midline. Kick-off can be in any direction.
Keeper may opt to use hands or feet to play ball out instead of taking proper goal kicks. Keeper has 6 seconds to release possession of the ball.
Red card results in ejection from game and one-game suspension. Fighting is an automatic one-year suspension. Teams may not replace any red-carded player on the field during the game that they received it.
NO SLIDE TACKLING (slide within 5ft of an opposing player). Goalkeeper is excluded from this rule and may slide within their penalty area.
First offense: verbal warning
Second offense: yellow card
Third offense: second yellow and player is ejected from the game
