Exceptions to this rule include an uncontrolled ball from a goalkeeper save. Failure to do this results in a loss of possession and the free-kick awarded the opposite way. Opponents must stand 3 yards from the ball on all free-kicks. Slide tackles are not permitted. An indirect free-kick will be awarded against any dangerous play or sliding.
All free kicks are indirect except for penalty kicks in the area.
If a five goal differential occurs during any game, the team losing may bring on an extra player. The team may keep this extra player on the field until the goal differential is reduced below five. Those adult teams scheduled on the 'C' field for games will take a player off if their team is in the lead by five. A team may not score directly from the kick-off. An indirect free-kick will be awarded against the penalized keepers.
