Corvallis AYSO Soccer Rules

Laws of the Game
AYSO Basic Soccer Rules

Substitutions During the Game:

Substitutions will be the same for ALL divisions U6 through U14. Players coming on to the field must be recognized by the referee before entering, and must enter and leave at midfield. All divisions from U6 through U14 will have a substitution break approximately midway into each half (this should last roughly one minute— this time is for substitutions, not for lengthy strategy sessions). Substitutions will occur only at quarter breaks, halftime, or for an injury. A cautioned player may be substituted at the coach’s discretion. The referee will make note of the substitutes on the game card.

Proper Uniform:

The uniform for all divisions is provided and is as follows: 1 AYSO shirt, 1 pair of black shorts, and 1 pair of socks. SHIN GUARDS ARE REQUIRED BUT ARE NOT PROVIDED. Shin guards should be put on first with socks worn over the shin guards. Any extra garments must be worn underneath the provided uniform. Shorts worn under the uniform must be black. Soccer shoes are not required, but are recommended. If a player is not in a complete and proper uniform, he/she will not be allowed to participate. (more here)

Coaching:

No sideline coaching is allowed except POSITIVE instructional coaching. The coaching area is limited to 10 yards either side of the mid-field line. Coaches are responsible for the behavior of their spectators. Coaching for each team is limited to one side of the field. No slide tackles allowed until U14 because of safety concerns.
