    Cost: $10 per player per session, paid at the door.

    Futsal Schedule – Winter 2012
    Date Time
    Sat Jan 7 10am – 2pm
    Sat Jan 14 10am – 2pm
    Sat Jan 21 10am – 2pm
    Sat Jan 28 10am – 2pm

    Sat Feb 18 No Futsal
    Sat Feb 25 10am – 2pm
    Sat Mar 3 10am – 2pm

    Format: All sessions will be supervised and conducted by River City Rangers coaches and board members. As in the past, all matches will be "pick-up", with no set team rosters or standings. On the first Saturday, January 7th, players probably will be sorted into a younger group and an older group. On subsequent Saturdays, probably the first two hours will be reserved for the players in the younger group and last two hours will be reserved for the players in the older group, to make the formation of pick-up teams more fair. But this is provisional and will depend on how many players of each age attend each session. Every participant will have the opportunity to play multiple matches each Saturday. Please note that no cleats may be worn in the St. Louis gymnasium. All players must wear soft-soled turf shoes or indoor athletic shoes and shin-guards.

    Contact: For more information, please contact Caren Benouis (caren@benouis.com; 512-426-2640), Jimmy Stanton (jimmystanton01@gmail.com; 512-635-6110), or Shayne Bennett (shayne_bennett@yahoo.com; 512-452-7896).

Soccer Stuff

  • Goalie Passback Rule
    The Law is clear: “An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, . . . touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a teammate.”

    The Goalie cannot pick up the ball if it was deliberately kicked to him by a teammate... he can only pick it up if it was last touched by an opponent or if it was accidentally kicked to him by a teammate, or was passed from a teammate using the head, chest, knee, etc. instead of the feet. Once he picks up the ball he has six seconds to punt it or release it.

  • Direct or Indirect?
    Here is a great link that details the rule:
     
    The simplest explanation is, check the referee:
    Direct: arm horizontal. ("Directly" at the goal)
    Indirect: arm straight up.("In" the air)
    (I made up the hints)
     
    The referee indicates a direct kick by pointing arm forward. The referee DOES NOT have to keep arm in that position
    The referee indicates an indirect kick by raising arm in the air and MAINTAINS arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball has touched another player or goes out of play.
