ULTIMATE FRISBEE RULES
Game starts with both teams lined up at their end zone and the frisbee is thrown to the offense from the defense.
The game is played by throwing and catching the frisbee.
Players with possession of the frisbee must:
Not Move (except for pivoting on a single foot)
Throw the frisbee within 10 seconds of receiving it
The defense must count these seconds as “1 rainbow, 2 rainbows, etc.”
If the frisbee is fumbled, the pass is not complete, there is contact from the defense, or it goes out of bounds, the non offending team gets possession.
A point is scored when the frisbee is caught inside the other team’s end zone. Game starts again the same way it started at the beginning.
No picks or contact of any kind is allowed.
CAPTURE THE FLAG RULE
All players must tuck in their shirts all around or wear them so that they do not interfere with the flags
Flags must be worn 1 on each hip.
Teams are assigned a side of the field.
Object of the game is to get the other team’s flag to your side of the field.
Defined as a player with the flag in hand, crossing the center line.
Flag can be passed between players but if it falls to the ground, it gets put back on the goal post
Players’ flags can only be taken if they are on the other team’s side.
If a players’ flag is taken on the other team’s side, they must go to jail on that team’s side.
They must raise their taken flag in the air on their way to jail, to let others know they are out of play.
Players in jail are released when a member of their team who still has their flags enters the jail.
Released in the order they entered.
Players can only release one player at a time and must cross back on to their side before releasing more.
If a player with the flag is sent to jail, they must first put the flag back on the goal post before going to jail.
Players released from jail must put their hand up to signal they are walking back to their half, and must cross half before returning to play.
OUTDOOR SOCCER RULES
Ideally 10 on 10
Game starts with a dice roll. One team calls odds or evens. If they guess correctly they start with the ball in the middle circle. No other team members are allowed in this circle until the ball is kicked. Whichever team didn't get the opening kick, gets the one after half time.
You may not use your hands or arms (below the shoulder) to play the ball, unless you are the goalie.
You may use any other part of your body to play the ball.
No contact is allowed. This includes picks and slide tackles.
Any foul results in a free kick from where the foul occurred.
Call out “foul” if there is an infraction.
If the ball goes out of bounds:
on the sidelines, it is thrown or rolled in to play by the team who didn't touch it last before it went out of play.
below the baseline
at the fault of the offense, the team who didn't cause the infraction gets a free kick from where the goal crease and the baseline meet.
at the fault of the defense, the offense gets a kick from the corner where the sideline and baseline meet.
No one is allowed in the goal crease, except for the goalie and defense
Each goal results in 1 point.
After every goal, the ball is kicked off at center, by the team that didn't score.
No cherry picking (hanging out in the other teams end while everyone else is playing in your zone).
Changes happen on the fly and during stoppages of play. Please be courteous with playing time.
Any injury where the player is unable to get up results in a stoppage of play.
