Rules: 3 on 3 soccer has many of its own rules. Please learn them well before the competition. Any rule not specified herein will be enforced according to the National High School Federation rule book.
Player Registration: All players must be registered on their respective team’s roster. No roster changes after the start of the first game. Players may play on only one team per division.
Number of Players: Maximum 5 players per team, 3 field players and 2 substitutes. A team must have a minimum of 2 field players. There are no goalkeepers in 3 on 3 soccer. Coed teams must have a minimum of one female player on the field at all times. If a team is unable to do so they forfeit.
Substitutions: Substitutions may be made at any dead-ball situation, regardless of possession. Teams must get the referee’s attention before substituting.
Uniforms: All players must wear shirts during play and each team must bring both a light and dark colored jersey. If both teams are wearing the same color a coin flip will determine which team must change.
Equipment: Teams must provide a game ball if called upon to do so. All players must wear shin guards.
Field Dimensions: The playing field is 40 yards long by 30 yards wide.
Goal Box: The goal box, ten feet wide by six feet long is directly in front of the goal. There is no ball contact allowed within the goal box, however, any player may pass through the goal box. If the ball comes to rest in the goal box, a goal kick is awarded regardless of who touched it last. Any part of the ball or player’s body on the line is considered in the goal box and is an extension of such. If a defender touches the ball within the goal box, a goal is awarded to the offensive team. If an offensive player touches the ball within the goal box, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team.
Game Duration: The game shall consist of two 12-minute halves separated by a two-minute halftime period OR when one team reaches 12 goals, whichever comes first. A team will be forfeited at the discretion of the referee, if they are not present at game time. No timeouts in 3 on 3.
Goal Scoring: A goal may only be scored from a touch (offensive or defensive) within a team’s offensive half of the field. The ball must be completely on the offensive half of the field, and cannot be touching the mid-line.
Playoff Overtime: Shall consist of a 3-minute sudden death overtime period with a coin toss to decide kickoff/direction. The first team to score in overtime is the winner. If no team scores in the 3-minute overtime, the winner shall be decided by a shootout. The three players from each team remaining on the field at the end of the overtime period will enter a rotation of penalty kicks, alternating teams with each kick, with the higher scoring team winning after the first round. If the score remains tied after the first round of penalty kicks, the same three players will alternate in the same order in a sudden death penalty kick format until one team scores unanswered. If a team has received a red card during the game and finishes with two players on the field, a remaining roster player, other than the red-carded player, may be chosen to kick in the rotation of penalty kicks. If the red-carded player is the last remaining roster player, one of the two field players may kick twice. The opposing coach has the option to pick the player from the bench/field of the team that is left down a man after time expires.
Forfeits: Any team forfeiting a game will be removed from the tournament.
Offsides: There are no offsides in 3 on 3 soccer.
Slide Tackling: Slide tackling is not permitted. Players can slide for a ball if there is no contact or intent to contact initiated. For example, a player can slide for a ball that is going out of bounds, if no other players are around, but a player may not slide and take or attempt to take the ball from another player in possession of the ball.
Five Yards: In all dead ball situations, including kickoffs, defending players must stand at least five yards away from the ball. If the defensive players’ goal area is closer than five yards, the ball shall be placed five yards from the goal area in line with the place of penalty.
Kick-ins: The ball shall be kicked into play from the sideline instead of thrown in.
Indirect Kicks: All dead ball kicks are indirect excepting corner kicks and penalty kicks.
Goal Kicks: May be taken from any point on the endline.
Kick-off: Is an indirect kick and may be taken in any direction, including backwards.
Penalty Kicks: Shall be awarded if, in the referee’s opinion, a scoring opportunity was nullified by an infraction. The infraction does not automatically result in a red card. It is a direct kick taken from the center of the midfield line with all players behind the midfield line and the player taking the kick. This is a “dead” kick. If a goal is not scored, the defense obtains possession with a goal kick.
Yellow and Red Card Policies: A player shall be cautioned (yellow card) for:
- Entering or leaving the field of play except through the normal course of play without permission of the referee;
- Persistent infringement of the rules;
- Objecting by word or action to any decision given by the referee;
- Any incidental use of vulgar language;
- Unsportsmanlike conduct, such as, but not limited to, unnecessary delay (holding a shirt, short, etc.), deliberate verbal tactics, encroachment, deliberate hand ball to stop an attack, deliberate tactical foul, faking an injury; simulating a foul, etc.
A cautioned player shall leave the field and be replaced. An indirect kick is awarded to the non-offending team from the spot of the ball.
A player shall be disqualified (red card) for:
- Taunting;
- Subsequent caution;
- Exhibiting violent conduct;
- Deliberately handling a ball to prevent a goal;
- Fouling an opponent who is moving toward his/her goal with an obvious chance to score;
- Spitting at another person;
- Using insulting, offensive, or abusive language or gesture.
A disqualified player shall leave the field and not be replaced. That player cannot return to play in that game. He/she shall also be disqualified from the team’s next game. If the player was not on the field when given the red card the team may still play with three players but the disqualified player cannot enter that game or the team’s next game. An indirect kick (or possibly a penalty kick) is awarded to the non-offending team at the spot of the ball.
Protests: Formal protests must be submitted to the tournament director or her assistant within 30 minutes of completion of the game.
Tournament Director: Will do everything possible to ensure that the official 3 on 3 soccer rules are applied to the games. She has final authority regarding all event disputes and issues.
Sportsmanship: Players, coaches and spectators are expected to act in the nature of good sportsmanship at all times. There will be no abuse of referees or tournament officials tolerated, verbal or otherwise. Any indication of such behavior by a coach or spectator will result in immediate removal from the tournament site.
Referees: There will be one referee for each game. They will keep score and time on the field. At the end of each game they will report to the tournament director the result of the game. Teams are responsible, not the referees or the tournament director, to know the time and place of their next game. Referee decisions are final. If there are any issues, please see the tournament director.
Ball Shaggers: We will try to have 1-2 ball shaggers at each field for each game. This is a volunteered position and should not be expected. If you would like to guarantee your team a ball shagger, ask a friend or family member to assist you. If ours are available, they have first priority to ball shag the game.
