Rules: A centre pass starts the game, alternating between the teams and at the start of each period, with all players in their own half, 3 meters away from the ball.

In order to score, a player must shoot from within the ‘shooting zone’.
For our competition the shooting zone will be the final third of the pitch. At the Level 3 competition this is likely to be a D.
A Penalty Goal is awarded if a defending player stops the ball crossing the goal-line with their feet or body.
A Free Pass is taken from where the offence occurs, opposing players must be 3 meters away from the ball. The Free Pass taker may only touch the ball once before it is touched by another player.
Goalkeepers are not allowed – players must not continually defend from the goal line.

 

A Free Pass is awarded when;

The ball crosses the side line; taken from where the ball left the pitch
The ball crosses the back line by the attacking team; taken from the edge of the shooting zone in line with where the ball leaves the pitch, other team in their own half
The ball crosses the back line by the defending team; taken from the edge of the shooting zone on the side of the goal the ball crossed the line – cannot score directly.
A player kicks, propels, picks up, throws or carries the ball (it is not an offence if the ball touches the players foot, only if it breaks down play or creates a disadvantage).
Attempts to play a ball above the knee with a stick.
Uses the (rounded) back side of the stick.
Whilst striking the ball, causes any actual or possible danger to themselves or other players.
Obstructs by running between the ball and opponent.
Holds, charges, kicks, pushes, intentionally trips or strikes any player or umpire.

 

Equipment: Pupils will need to wear PE kit and will need to bring their own drink.
Shin pads and mouth guards are advisable. Where possible, please bring sticks. Please notify us in advance if you need to borrow wooden sticks as they are limited.

Progression: The winners of the Year 5/6 competitions will play against each other to determine one overall North West Leicestershire winner who will go on to represent NWL in the Level 3 competition. The date of the level 3 competition is yet to be confirmed.
