NR hand soccer association

Alright, yes we have been gone for awhile but we have been working on stuff in the past month and it’s time to announce stuff

NEW RULES
1. Dribbling
From now on, You may not go on your knees and run with the ball. The player must put the ball on the floor to dribble, pass, shoot, etc.

2. Shooting
High scoring games are fun and all but sometimes it just now rarely. Anyway, players have been faking out the goalie and getting very easy goals. That comes to end now with players must throw it, slap it, overhand slap it, or another way to shoot it like that.

3. Shooting PT 2
When shooting the ball you can’t be really close to goalie. This is called crease violation which will be explained in (new rules) category

OFFSIDE
In 1v1 offside is disabled due to the lack of players. In 2v2, 3v3, ETC offside is enabled where the player can NOT go past a player who they are guarding. Players can take a player who they want to guard.

CREASE VIOLATION
the player can’t not bump the goalie, touch the goalie, or anything else to touch the goalie. This is called crease violation. If the ball enters the net when touching the goalie. The call is NO GOAL. The player has 2 warnings of crease violation. If they get 2 warnings it will be a free shot (free kick in soccer) awarded to the other team.

YELLOW AND RED CARDS
(This is not allowed in 1v1)
If there is a fight on the play the person who starts it will receive a red and a possible 1 game suspension will mostly be handed out.
If other rules are broken the player will receive a warning. If they keep doing it over and over again it will be a yellow for first offence. 2nd will be a red.
