Rules on the pitch
The same rules apply in every game: no sliding tackles, a kick instead of a throw-in, no picking up a back-pass, and respect for everyone.
Updated 20 October 2026
The same rules apply on every pitch, in every game mode.
- No sliding tackles.
- Ball fully out? Restart with a kick, not a throw.
- You can score from anywhere, even from kickoff, a corner or a goal kick. The only exception is straight from a kick-in.
- The keeper can't pick up a back-pass.
- Goal kicks start with a pass. No dribbling out.
- A deliberate handball that stops a goal counts as a goal.
- Kick the ball out, you go and get it. A player from the bench subs in while you do.
Respect. Violence, verbal abuse, threats, harassment or discrimination means an immediate ban. If you turn up affected by alcohol or drugs, you're turned away and you don't get a refund.
