The rules are very simple. A Goalie War field is 20 - 28 yards long by 22 - 30 yards wide depending on the player’s age. The Goalie War field is divided into two halves by a halfway line. A center mark is located at the midpoint of the halfway line with a circle around it. The area within the circle is approximately 10 feet in diameter and called the neutral zone. The box in front of the goal is called the goal area. The area outside the box is called the penalty area.
Distribution is the method by which goals are scored. A player may distribute the ball in any of the following ways: throwing, punting, rolling, kicking, drop kicking or heading. A player may only distribute the ball once during their possession. A player must distribute the ball within 6 seconds of taking possession. A goal is scored when the whole of the ball goes in the goal and passes over the goal line, provided that no infringement of the Rules of Engagement has been committed. The player scoring the greater number of goals during the Goalie War is the winner. If a player scores from within his goal area, he will be awarded two (2) points.
Games will consist of two 2 minute halves with a one minute half time.
Fouls:
Hand Ball: Players may not touch the ball with their hands outside their goal area.
Offside: A player is in an offside position if she crosses the halfway line, outside the neutral zone, and enters her opponent’s penalty area.
Delay of game: A player may not delay the game. Failure to distribute the ball within 6 seconds is considered delay of game.
Fouls will result in penalty kicks which will be taken from the neutral zone at halftime or at the end of the match.
