NYCFH has implemented the following rules to keep play safe and equitable for everyone on the field. All members are expected to abide by these rules.
Safety first, always
Self start
No driving the ball
No lifting the ball above shinguard level
Own your fouls when they occur
Call other people’s fouls (nicely & respectfully)
No hacking
Mind the back swings
If you fall while handling the ball, do not play the ball from the ground
Mind your physicality/body contact—we are all here to have fun!
Do not block the goal in a stationary position
Avoid obstructing—keep the ball moving
Maintain a safe distance on free hits/self starts
Teams may not always be even. In order to keep things moving and maximize playing time, please take the field when it’s your team’s turn to play regardless of if teams are unbalanced. Remember: We are just here to have fun!
