Sportsmanship:

  • There is ZERO TOLERANCE for any negativity/bad sportsmanship towards referee’s/coaches and especially players. The event is about enjoying the game and having fun, persons will be asked to leave if they do not abide by the same principles.  We are out here to have SERIOUS FUN

  • PK's during stopped time (ie OT) start at midfield, the shooter may dribble ball toward goal, 5 seconds to shoot, the keeper may come offline once shooter touches the ball, all other players remain behind the midfield line.
