Some minor rule changes/updates following the first game. This will updated on the official rules soon:
1. Periods will be 15 minutes of running time. 16 minutes cut our time a little too close and that extra minute seemed to help guys not die. Also, each team can call a 30 second timeout each period as needed.
2. If the ball goes into the soccer net, it will be awarded to the goalie. If the ball goes out of bounds anywhere else during the normal run of play (ie you can't chuck it at the bench), alternate possession will be awarded.
Reminder about Shoes:
A. Cleats are not allowed
B. Must bring a clean pair of athletic shoes for the game
C. Street shoes may not be worn on the field
