Basic principles of  Futsal:

Futsal develops a soccer player's skill in controlling the ball, passing and making accurate shots.

Rule 2. A futsal game is played with 5 players (including the goalkeeper), with a maximum of 10 players on a team.

Rule 3. All players must wear shin guards (completely covered by the socks) and tennis shoes or shoes with rubber soles.

Rule 4. A futsal game is 30 minutes long (12.5 minute halves and a 5 minute halftime). Only a size 3 futsal ball will be used, no other soccer balls are allowed on the court.

Rule 5. Substitutions are unlimited and occur when the ball is still in play. The substitution zone is in front of each team's bench, where the outgoing player leaves the court first, then the incoming player enters.

Rule 6. Home team will kick off and the opposing team must remain out of the center circle. The ball is in play when it is kicked and can be shot directly into the goal.

Rule 7. Any player who kicks a ball onto the upper walls or at the ceiling will be substituted.

Rule 9. Backcourt defensive press will result in a free kick to the opposing team.

Rule 10. All shots on goal must occur in the offensive half of the court.

Rule 11. Punting by the goalkeeper is not allowed and will result in a free kick.

Rule 12. A kick-in results when the ball completely crosses the white boundary line, and shall be kicked-in from the place where it crossed the line.

Rule 13. Opposing players must be 10 feet away from a kick-in or free kick.
