The Rules of Soccer!
The rules of soccer are basically simple. However, the interpretation and application of the rules to playing situations can be complex. They can also vary substantially from referee to referee. What is most important in a game is that the rules are applied evenly to both sides.
The rules explained herein are interpreted in non-technical language. The intent is to explain the rule, not to cite it exactly. For the exact wording of the rule, refer to the annual F.I.F.A. "Laws of the Game". The Youth Referees trained by C.L.C.F. Soccer have been schooled in these interpretations. Any questions regarding the rules as they are defined herein are to be directed to the C.L.C.F. "Rules Interpreter".
