Rules
For all grade levels, except K&C, there are two documents which establish the rules for our games. The first is the IFAB Laws of the Game. This is a general rules document which covers all levels of play. The second is the THJSL Rules of Play. The THJSL document is a modification of the IFAB Laws, so the THJSL document takes precedent.
Slide tackles are not allowed at any level. Players deemed to be sliding may get a warning or a card at the ref's discretion.
Headers are no longer allowed at any grade level, even 7/8.
Each grade level below also lists some further key rules and rule changes to be aware of for that level of play.
If you have any rules questions, please reach out to headcoach@ohsoccer.com.
