Headers

• Updated March 2016. In the 8U-11U age groups, when a player deliberately heads the ball in a game, an indirect free kick (IFK) should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense. If the deliberate header occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the infringement occurred. Players should not be given a red card by heading the ball off of the goal line, this should be awarded with an indirect free kick as stated above.

The National Sports Center does not close for inclement winter weather. It is up to teams if they choose to play or forfeit during inclement winter weather.  The indoor league is not responsible for games being forfeited due to weather; therefore, it does not guarantee make-up games at a later date.
