Crown Soccer Association: Official League Rules

Welcome to the official rules page for the Crown Soccer Association. Our goal is to ensure a fun, fair, and respectful environment for all players, teams, and fans. Please familiarize yourself with these guidelines to help us maintain the spirit of the game.

Keeping games fun and fair

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we have established key rules for player conduct during games. Maintaining a respectful attitude towards officials is paramount: no screaming at the referees is permitted, as this creates a negative environment for all participants. Additionally, slide tackling is only allowed at the ball, never at other players. Disrespectful gestures towards fans are strictly prohibited, and the same expectation applies to fans regarding players. Violations of these rules may result in a yellow or red card for players, depending on the severity of the gesture, and fans could be escorted out of the game. These guidelines are in place to uphold the integrity of the sport and foster a positive atmosphere for the entire Crown Soccer Association community.

Game play structure and player counts

Understanding the structure of each game is essential for all teams and players in the Crown Soccer Association. Each game is played for a total of 90 minutes, divided into two halves. The clock runs continuously, only stopping for designated hydration breaks at the 23rd and 69th minute. There is no stoppage time added to the game clock. Each team will have between 2-3 players on the field at a time, depending on the total number of registered players in the league. These guidelines ensure consistent game flow and provide clarity on player participation for every match.

Prohibited behavior and consequences

The Crown Soccer Association is committed to maintaining a respectful and safe environment for everyone involved. Any player or fan caught making inappropriate comments targeting teammates, opposing fans, or referees will face disciplinary action. This may include a warning, a yellow card, or immediate removal from the game with a red card, depending on the severity of the offense. Violent behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Individuals engaging in violent actions will receive a yellow or red card based on the nature of their conduct. All spectators are encouraged to remain in their seats and cheer for their team in a positive manner. Adherence to these rules helps uphold the values of sportsmanship and ensures a positive experience for everyone in the CSA community.
