Frosty’s Futsal Cup VI

January 13th and 14th at the Avoca Central School

T-shirt awards for Champions and Finalists

This is our 6th year hosting the Frosty’s Futsal Cup Tournament, with great success it seems to “kick off” the winter/indoor training season. Funds raised from this tourney, permits our club to send area youth to summer soccer camps, providing soccer related “scholarships” to clinics, and help area families with Christmas expenses. Proceeds also help our club attend other area tournaments (yours), reciprocating with your clubs’ fund raisers and financially helping other youth programs in our area.

The last 2 years’, all 48 team positions have been filled, and some brackets filled within a week of “posting” the tournament. Games are 15 minutes long, with 3 games guaranteed. The tournament runs on time, and by limiting the field to only 8 teams/division, it ensures that play is fast and that your team are not spending 6-8 hours sitting around, waiting to play. We use a futsal ball and play off “3 walls”, which controls play, and in turn “keeps the game moving”. The walls that are “played off”, are only played off the mat, with a height of about 7 feet, (7 feet or so), which keeps the ball controlled and does not promote “boom ball/out of control” type play. Wed also use certified High School Soccer Officials. Full concessions will be available. We hope you can attend our tournament and we look forward to attending yours also.

Rules:

 15 minute games, played on the 16 minute interval…the clock for the next game will start at 16 minutes, immediately when the previous game ends. When the clock counts down and hits the 15:00 mark, the official will place the ball on the center line, and award the kickoff to the team that places 4 field players and a keeper in place, ready to play first. If the other team is not on the field at the 15:00 mark, the ball is put into play, regardless (in 2 years, this has only happened twice…teams catch on quick). If both teams are on the field before the 15 minute mark hits on the clock, then they can gain a few seconds of play time.

 When your game finishes, please leave the court immediately after your sportsmanlike handshake.

 Your team may warm up, in our elementary gymnasium prior to your game…however, due to the “plaster” walls in this gymnasium, no balls may be kicked hard and your team must be supervised by an adult or coach while using this gym, AT ALL TIMES!

 5 V 5 format, includes the keeper (5 total players, all divisions)

 ALL KICKS ARE INDIRECT…5 seconds to put ball in play, once ball is placed on floor

 A penalty box system will be in use… a foul deserving caution, flagrant foul, repetitive infractions, taunting, excessive celebration, delay of game, too many players on floor, etc (officials discretion) will require the offending player/team to send that player to the penalty box, and play a person down for 2:00 minutes, unless the opposing team scores a goal. No penalty kicks…if a foul happens “in the box”, the player committing the foul will be sent to the penalty box and an indirect kick occurs at the spot of the foul.

 Substitutions will be “on the fly”, but player being substituted for, must be within 10 feet of bench before substitution can enter the court…2 warnings will be issued…the 3rd offense will result a penalty box infraction.

 No using the wall for a “brace”, unless player is falling…players must treat wall “as if it is not there”….any contact with wall by players will result in an indirect kick for other team.

 “Boarding” will not be tolerated…any player repeatedly cautioned for this will be sent to the penalty box or ejected from the tournament.

 Officials decisions are final…some of the rules may seem overkill; however the indoor/training season is exactly that. Futsal play is designed to improve touches and foot skills, enhance decision making ability in confined spaces, and promote player development…none of which has anything to do with boarding, extreme physical play, slide tackling, etc. Keep it clean, fast paced, educational and all players will benefit and go home healthy at the end of the day.

 No sliding! Keeper may dive to make a save, but no feet first sliding by any player, any time.

 A cross roster keeper is permitted (for two teams from the same club or school)…a keeper may only play keeper for their secondary team and it must be clearly noted on the roster.

 Keeper/Goalie box will be clearly marked…keepers may reach out of the box to pick up a ball, but must maintain 1 foot completely in the box while reaching out.

 Keepers have 5 seconds to release the ball, once the ball is picked up..keepers may kick, throw, or roll the ball, however, the ball must hit the floor or a player before “half court”. Drop punts are not permitted and will not count towards the ball “hitting the floor before half court”. If the keeper propels the ball over half court in the air, the official MAY award an indirect free kick at mid court to the other team; however, if the official wishes to play the “Advantage” clause, they may.  Point System:

o 5 point for a win

o 1 point for a shutout (even in a 0-0 tie), both teams get the shutout point, but no tie point

o 1 point for a tie (no tie points in a 0-0 game)

o ½ point for each goal, up to a 5 goal (2 ½ point max)

o Maximum score in a game would be a 5-0 victory = 8 ½ points

 Tie Breakers

o Head to head play

o Goal differential – all games, however only counting 5 goals max per game

o Goals allowed

o Goals scored – up to 5 per game max

o Golden goal mini game ( 3 v 3 no keepers)

 Overtime Rules (playoffs only)

o 5 minute golden goal format

o After the initial 5 minute golden goal format (5 v 5), keepers will be pulled (from this point forward, no player may use their hands in a “goalie capacity”). A field player may play “in the goal”, if the team chooses, however, may not use their hands. The clock will then reset to 2 minutes and the teams will play a 4 v 4 format for that 2 minute period). Each team then must pull a field player (3 v 3) and the clock will be rest to 2 minutes. We continue this format until there are only 2 players left for each team. At this point, the clock is turned off and play is resumed until there is a winner. Normal substitutions rules throughout all stages of overtime.

Our club does not require a “medical release” or “waiver” for each player. Coaches (an adult, at least 21 years of age) must sign the roster, ensuring that each player will have a medical history immediately available, be properly insured, represented, and equipped at our tournament. Shin guards are a must, jewelry must be removed, and all rules and decisions will be based upon 2017-2018 NFHS soccer rule book. NYSWYSA “official rosters will be accepted – coaches must still sign the waiver at the bottom of the roster”. Roster
