  • You cannot touch the ball with your hands, unless you are a goalkeeper. Although a goalkeeper may not touch the ball with their hands if they are outside the goal box or if the ball was passed back to them by a teammate.
  • You may use your head or any body part above the shoulder to touch the ball, if you cannot use your feet.
  • You must remain on-side, that is, unless you have the ball, you must remain behind the last defender when on the other team's side of the field.
  • Slide-tackling is illegal from behind, and you must clearly aim for the ball. You can only slide tackle from the front or the side.
  • You cannot pull on someone's jersey to stop them from getting to the ball.
  • When throwing in the ball, your back foot must remain on the ground at all times.
  • Corner kicks are awarded to the offense when the defending team kicks the ball out of bounds between the goal post and the corner flag.
  • Goal kicks are awarded to the defense when the offense kicks the ball out of bounds between the goal post and the corner flag.
  • Free penalty kicks are awarded for fouls committed within the goal box.
  • For fouls committed outside the goal box, free kicks are awarded in which the defending team may line up in an attempt to block the shot from a certain number of feet away.
  • Depending on the game, if after full time there is a tie, extra time occurs and if after extra time the game is still tied, penalty kicks are awarded to each team (sometimes referred to as Sudden Death).
  • One yellow card = warning. Two yellow cards = a red card, and you are kicked out of the game and not allowed to play in the next match.

There are a lot of rules for soccer, and they vary based on different organizations and skill levels. Those are the basics. Just a heads up:

  • If the referees on the sidelines point their flag toward your end of the field (where your goalkeeper is), that means it's the other team's ball to throw in or kick.

The main rules are no handball, no sliding from the back showing studs, no pushing or touching players, must respect the referee, no throwing the ball in anger.
