12. NEW RULES
Here are a few NEW rules you will need to know as a coach this Fall.
  At a goal kick and a free kick for the defending team in their own penalty area, the ball is in play when it is “kicked and moved”, i.e., it can be played before it leaves the penalty area.
      For defensive walls, attacking team players must be at least 1 meter away from the defensive wall
 On Penalty Kicks, the goal keeper has to have one foot on the line
  On dropped balls, the ball will be dropped for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the point of the last touch. All other players must be at least 4.5 yards away.
  Deliberate handball remains an offense. There are some additional instruction when handling, even if accidental, will be a free kick. (This one will take a little longer to perfect)
   On the coin toss at the start of the match, the team that wins the toss can now choose to take the kick off or which goal to attack.
    Finally, players being substituted can leave from any part of the field. Substitutions still have to enter at the mid line.

13. SPORTSMANSHIP
Coaches, players, and parents are to all be respectable to everyone
If a disruption occurs during play and refs are not aware, please make them aware to your Field Marshal
Coaches are responsible for parents and players actions
