A goal is awarded only when the entire ball completely crosses the goal line. Official Size 5 footballs will be used.
Fouls
Handballs, tripping, pushing, holding, and dangerous tackles will result in an immediate free kick for the opposing team.

Throw-ins must be taken with the foot from the touchline. The ball must not rise above knee height upon entering play.
