Indoor League 2010

Indoor 2010 details! To check out last year: Indoor 2009
Week 2 Information

Review of the logistics:

Player Responsibilities:

1. Arrive and be ready to play 10 minutes before our session is scheduled to begin. This time will be used to address any issues or make announcements.
2. Help with setting up and breaking down the boards that we use for playing.
3. Follow the rules.
4. Be considerate of your fellow players and umpires. Talking back will not be tolerated, and referees will have cards. A yellow card (1 strike) will result in sitting out of the game for 2 minutes while your team plays a man down. A red card (2 strikes) will result in ejection for the remainder of the session and your team playing a man down for the remainder of the game in which you were ejected. Players with more than 3 strikes in the season will be disqualified from playing for the remainder of the season, but the team will not be penalized a field player.
5. Protective equipment (shin guards, mouth guard) is recommended. Indoor sticks are not required.

Rules: *abridged - FIH rules of Indoor will be followed

1. Players are expected to act responsibly at all times. Players on the pitch must hold their stick and not use it in a dangerous way. Players must not lift their stick over the heads of other players. Players must not intimidate or impede another player.
2. Players must not hit the ball. 'Slap' hitting the ball, which involves a long pushing or sweeping movement with the stick before making contact with the ball, is regarded as a hit and is therefore not permitted. Players must not play the ball with any part of the stick when the ball is above shoulder height except that defenders are permitted to use the stick to stop or deflect a shot at goal at any height. If a defender attempts to stop or deflect a ball traveling towards the goal which will actually miss the goal, any use of the stick above the shoulder must be penalised by a penalty corner and not a penalty stroke. Players must not raise the ball off the pitch except for a shot at goal.
3. Players must not tackle unless in a position to play the ball without body contact. Players must not force an opponent into offending unintentionally. Playing the ball clearly and intentionally into any part of an opponent's body may be penalised as an attempt to manufacture an offence. Forcing an opponent to obstruct (often emphasised by running into an opponent or by waving the stick) must also be penalised. No tackling from behind. All tackles must originate from at least alongside the player with the ball and cannot be made if there is a leg, stick or other item in the way.
4. Procedures for taking a free push, centre pass and putting the ball back into play after it has been outside the pitch: the ball must be stationary; A 'dragging' action used to play the ball at a free push must not result in playing the ball twice; after playing the ball, the player taking the free push must not play the ball again or approach within playing distance of it until it has been played by another player; opponents must be at least 3 metres from the ball; when a free push is awarded to the attack within 3 metres of the circle, all players other than the player taking the free push must be at least 3 metres from the ball.
5. Maximum of 3 points touching the ground - that means no tackling from the ground, no diving, no using your free hand to support a low tackle etc.
