* Games are 5-versus-5 (including goalkeeper) with 2 female players (excluding goalkeeper) being required on the outfield at all times.
* It is a hardwood floor, therefore sneakers are the recommended footwear. Shinguards are mandatory in all divisions of the League – our referees will not allow any players to participate without them. Beware.
* The use of walls and out-of-bounds will be explained prior to kick-off by the referee - in all instances at least three of the walls will be utilized.
* The ball is allowed to go above head height during general play. However, should it touch one of the utilized walls above a certain height, then it will be deemed out of bounds. Play will then begin with a kick-in and opposition players should be at least five yards away from the kicker.
Note: Teams will be advised of the wall height prior to kick-off – once you view the gym, it is obvious but confirmation will be provided.
* If the ball touches the ceiling during general play, it will be deemed out of bounds. Play will re-start with a free-kick to the opposing team.
* Goalkeepers CANNOT pick the ball up from a deliberate pass-back from one of their own team.
* Goalkeepers must release the ball from their hands within 10 seconds. This is to guard against time-wasting. If the 'keeper fails to do so an indirect free-kick will be awarded.
* All players may enter the penalty area during general play but not during a goal-kick. Again, clarification will be provided prior to the game as to the penalty area.
* When releasing the ball, either by hand or by foot, there is no limitation on where the 'keeper can throw or kick the ball. We are aware of other leagues that stipulate the ball cannot travel beyond the halfway line without first being touched by another player, but this rule is not in effect with NY Coed.

Cougs,
another tough one this past weekend against the Vipers Adult team. We need a full squad on Sunday for the final game of the regular season! Playoffs start next week - depending on how we go, we could have either 2 or 4 more weeks of soccer.
Game Time 3:20pm vs. Inter United
Who's Cougin?
If you're planning on watching the marathon on Sunday before the game, look out for Annie on the course! Naomi and I will be cheering on 4th Ave and 6th Street in Brooklyn near mile 7. Good luck Annie!
