Match format
Each team fields 5 players (4 outfield + goalkeeper). A match consists of two 15-minute halves. Half-time break is 2–5 minutes.
Kickoff
Kickoff is taken from the center of the pitch. After a goal, play resumes from the center by the team that conceded.
Throw-in
A throw-in is taken with the foot from where the ball left the pitch. A goal scored directly from a throw-in does not count.
Corner kick
Awarded when the ball last touched a defending player. A goal scored directly from a corner counts.
Goal kick
Taken by the goalkeeper with hands or feet from the penalty area.
Goalkeeper
May use hands only inside their own penalty area. May not pick up the ball after an intentional back-pass from a teammate.
Substitutions
Unlimited substitutions. Substitutions are made without stopping play through a designated zone.
Fouls
A free kick is awarded for:
Free kick
All free kicks are direct. The wall must be at least 5 meters away.
Penalty
Awarded for an infringement inside the penalty area. Taken from the 6-meter mark.
Slide tackle
Slide tackles are forbidden. Any slide tackle results in a free kick. A dangerous slide tackle may be punished with a yellow or red card.
