Game Rules
1. Competition
Which Division should I play
in?
The choice is up to your team. Division
1 suits teams that have played together
before and have a reasonable standard
of outdoor/indoor experience. Division
2 suits social or work teams. Mixed teams
are generally social or work teams.
What are the requirements for
Mixed teams?
The mixed team must have 2 female players
in the outfield.
So you can have;
a) GoalKeeper + 2 Male (maximum), 2 Female.
b) GoalKeeper + 1 Male , 3 Female.
c) GoalKeeper + 4 Female.
How old do I need to be to play?
You will need to be at least 16yo to
play in the seniors competitions.
Is there an over 35s competition?
No, our teams are graded by division.
What does the team fee cover?
The team fee covers all match fees and
player acciddent insurance for a team
of up to 12 players per competition (eg
Sept to Dec, Feb to May, Jun to Aug).
There are NO week to week or any other
administrative charges or fines.
How do I register my team?
Please see our page on registration Upcoming Season
Can I enter as an individual?
We would like to give everyone a chance
to play Futsal but we only accept entries
from teams. If you would like us to find
you a team please email your information
through, including nights you are available
and preferred division (junior entries
please state your age). We can't guarantee
you a place in a team but there are usually
some teams that need extra players.
You will have to come to an arrangement
with your team regarding your share of
payment.
What times do we play? Can we
request times?
Once you have chosen your night &
division all your games will be on that
weeknight. Game times are from 6pm to
10pm finish and assigned evenly. If you
can't make early games (600/635pm) please
let us know and we will accomodate that.
Alternatively if you would like most of
your games at 600/635pm kickoffs or late
830 to 930 kickoffs we can accomodate
that as well (subject to other team's
requests in your division).
How many competitions do you
run in a year?
There are three competitions in any calendar
year. The Futsal season traditionally
kicks off in September Australia wide.
Our competitions run from September to
December, February to May, June to August.
Do we need to provide a ball
or have a teammate referee?
No, just make sure you arrive ontime
for your scheduled game. All our games
have professional referees and match balls
are supplied.
Which indoor soccer type do you
play?
We play the official Futsal rules with
a few bye laws such as no time outs. So
it's NOT rebound indoor and keepers can
throw the ball over halfway and you can
kick to score a goal from anywhere on
the field.
2. Uniforms
Do we need uniforms?
All players must have numbered matching
shirts at the minimum. Teams like to play
against organised teams (teams with the
exact colour uniforms.) Nobody wants to
pay money to play against teams in four
different shades of blue, or T-shirts
with logos on them and non-matching shorts/socks.
The ability to see an opponent or teammate
peripherally based on solid colors helps
the game (you need to see colours for
effective passes and marking.) You should
not have to look exactly at a teammate
to find out what team they are on.
Do I need to wear shinpads and
long socks?
Yes they are needed for every game. Your
socks need to cover your shin pads. We
have spare shinpads you can borrow.
3. Payment
When is payment due?
The team fee is due by 20th August 2010
if you put down a deposit of $200. Any
entries after this date must have full
payment made.
What does the team fee cover?
It covers all match fees, player accident
insurance and administration for one team
for one competition. There are no other
charges or individual player registration
fees. If your team plays again in 2011
(Autumn & Winter) you pay the team
fee with an approx $290 discount for each
competition
Do we pay extra to add new players?
No. You can have up to a total 12 players
per season. Just email the new player's
details through before they play though.
Why do I need to put down a deposit
and pay in full before the season even
starts?
Every season there are a number of teams
that enter a team and then withdraw their
entry for various reasons. Aside from
the rescheduling involved it also meant
that teams that were ready to play have
missed out on a place. There have also
been teams that simply don't pay. Due
to these reasons have introduced this
payment policy.
Does my registration from another
centre or from outdoor cover me at North
Sydney Futsal?
No we have a separate insurance policy
from FootballNSW and other outdoor clubs.
4. General Rules & Policies
How do I appeal a referees decision?
The referees decision on all game rules,
including fouls is final. If you wish
to complain you are entitled to do so
via email only(admin@northsydneyfutsal.com)
stating your complaint. If you continue
to argue with the referee or swear it
is most certain you will be given either
a yellow or red card in which case it
is unlikely any appeal will be looked
into.
How do I appeal a player suspension?
Appeals against the length of suspension
can be made via email to the administrator.
All red cards have a set time frame for
nearly all common offences which is available
here on our Red
Card Policy. If your offence was due
to violent behaviour it is unlikely any
appeal will be looked into.
