AASA Rules

Rules & Conduct for 2008

All AASA games consist of two 45-minute halves with a 5 minute halftime and no extra time (over time). 7v7 leagues are played on half-size fields with half-size goals -- 11v11 leagues are played on standard size fields with full size goals.

The league administrators have the right to shorten halves or stop games if they feel inclement weather or lack of light pose a hazard to the players. Any game that has finished at least one complete half will count as a finished match in the event it is ended early.

All AASA Leagues

NO SLIDE TACKLING
Slide tackling is not allowed in any AASA league.

Players must use shin guards and wear socks that cover the whole shin guard.
AASA recommends sports spectacles or protective goggles to cover normal glasses.

New team shirts are provided by AASA each session and are yours to keep.

7v7 Leagues

In the 7v7 leagues, each team fields seven players (six and a goalie) during play. In the event that one team has less than seven players, the opposing team will be allowed to field 7 players at all times.

A team must have 5 players to begin a game. In the event that a team does not have 5 or more eligible players at the beginning of the game the match is recorded as a forfeit. Teams found to be playing with illegal players (i.e., players not registered with AASA and/or not assigned to that team) will automatically receive a forfeit for that game and the player will be asked to leave the field.
