YM indoor soccer name change FUTSAL!
For convenience and to delineate our sport from "soccer" we will now call our sport "Futsal".
I actually first heard of it from someone from Portugal who has moved to Salt Lake City and somehow stumbled across our SAMS LDS sports blog, and he asked if we played "Futsal".
Futsal (Portuguese pronunciation: [futˈsal]) is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller field and mainly played indoors. It can be considered a version of five-a-side football.[1] Its name comes from the Portuguese Futebol de salão , which can be translated as "room football". It was developed in Brazil in the 1930s and 1940s.
In Brazil, futsal is played by more people than football but does not attract as many spectators as the outdoor sport. Several futsal players have moved on to careers as successful professional football players.[2]
Futsal is a game played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular football due to the surface of the field.[3] The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.[4]
Tell me does this not sound more like what we are playing than "soccer"?
So from now on lets call our sport Futsal.

Week One update
Well the historic first week of YM indoor soccer is now history, the official first game was a forfeit :-) One ward only had one YM show up plus their coach so the YM went home and did homework.
The second game was a big success. Shingle Creek vs Maple Grove, Maple Grove had 6 players and a coach, Shingle Creek had 3 players and a coach, but let me add a "ringer" coach Juan from Guatemala.
The First goal was scored by Sam Rose a nonmember friend of the Oldroyds.
Shingle Creek won 3-0, but everyone had fun, good exercise and fellowship.
Like every season it takes a while to get rolling, try as we might there are wards who say "this is the first I heard about it." This week should tell the story, now that players and coach's can go to the quorum meetings and tell others that there really is an indoor soccer league.

SAMS LDS indoor soccer rules
Welcome to SAMS LDS Young men's indoor soccer.
(This post is permanently posted on the tab on top of the blog under "Referee assignments and Rules")
Indoor soccer administration:
Where as we have been playing Volleyball and Basketball for decades and rules have been tweaked to what we have not, Soccer is brand new, We will adjust the rules to fit our needs, so be patient and flexible.
* We will play two 20 minute halves running clock except for the last Minute of the game, the clock will stop during dead ball times after a score or if the ball goes out of play.
*If the game ends in a tie, it is a tie, half win half loss... We will play over time in the tournament.
* If the goalie stops a goal by using his hand, there will be a free kick no goalie by the player who took the shot from half court.
* Each team has maximum of 5 players on the court at a time including the goalie.
* At this point high school players can play but only baptized members and only one on the court at a time (similar to basketball) Adult coaches may play but they cannot score. Girls are allowed to play.
*Substitutes: You can substitute "on the fly" but the subbing players can't enter play until they physically touch hands with the player they are subbing for.
* You can have up to 2 non members on the court per team at a time.
* Siblings of members and those living in the same household as a member are counted as "members" for sports purposes.
* Two forfeits and your team is out of the tournament.
* Like basketball and volleyball, we hate forfeits, you can make a team out of ineligible players and play but it is an automatic loss, not a forfeit. If your team has 2 players and the other team has 8 Split up, it is an automatic win for the team with 8, play and have fun.
* You can play with as few as 3 players.
* Each team has one time out per half.
* Referees, We will play self officiated games, call your own fouls, we will try to have a stake person there to supervise and make sportsmanship calls, and we will have some soccer guys there for a while to help us get rolling.
*** Like football there is touch and tackle, this is touch soccer, it is said "soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans" Not here this is a gentleman's game played by gentlemen, players who play too rough, will not be tolerated. This doesn't mean you can't be competitive, play as hard as you want but no checking, foul language, threatening words or gestures. We are here for good fun, sportsmanship and competition.
INDOOR SOCCER – LDS CHURCH BUILDING CULTURAL HALL RULES
(Nels Berge and a group of guys have been playing indoor soccer at the St. Paul Stake Center Tuesday nights for the last 7 years we have taped into their experience for rules and appreciate their help)
Here are the basic rules for playing indoor soccer in the cultural hall of an LDS church building.
The Court
Indoor soccer uses the entire cultural hall. All doors should be shut. The rigid accordion divider curtains should be all the way open and secured using straps. The curtain for the stage (platform) should be closed. The basketball backboards should be raised. All tables and chairs should be put away and the floor swept, if possible. There are no out of bounds. The ball is played off the walls and ceiling.
Teams and Players
Teams can have as many players as they want, however, the maximum number of players on the court from a team is five. The other players sit out and substitute in to the match as needed or desired. The minimum number of players on the court from a team is four. In other words, a team can never have more than five, or less than four, players on the court at any given time. Teams are never allowed to have only three players. For pick-up matches, when there are fifteen or more players, players should divide in to three teams and play five-minute matches.
Teams are identified by shirt color. There are no “shirts and skins”. All players must bring a white shirt, dark shirt (black, blue, green, dark gray, brown, etc.), and red shirt.
Scoring
Like regular soccer, goals may only be scored by using the feet, head, knee, chest, etc., but not the hands or arms. When a match is five v. five, players must cross the half-court line in order to shoot and score with their feet. However, a player may head the ball in for a goal from anywhere. Accidental own-goals are also good from anywhere.
Off-Sides
There are no off-sides violations in this version of indoor soccer. Players may run, jog, or stand, anywhere they want on the court during a match at all times. This includes “cherry-picking”, or standing behind the defense.
Goalies
Goalies are NOT allowed to use their hands. Goalies are only allowed to use their feet, head, knee, chest, etc., like all the other players. To put the ball back in to play after a dead ball, the goalie should place the ball on the ground and kick or dribble the ball back in to play.
Hand Ball Violations and Fouls
Players, including goalies, are NOT allowed to use their hands. A hand ball violation results in a free kick from spot of the violation. A hand ball violation inside the basketball 3-point arc results in a free kick from outside
the basketball 3-point arc. Defensive players can form a wall approximately ten feet away from the place of the free kick.
The game is meant to be no-contact. Tripping, pushing, grabbing, or excessively physical or overly aggressive play, whether intentional or accidental, are NOT allowed. It is the responsibility of all players to call fouls when they see one. Players who feel that they were fouled can and should call a foul and be awarded a free kick. Other players on both teams, when they think they have witnessed a foul, can and should call a foul and award the fouled player’s team a free kick. Likewise, for the benefit of good sportsmanship, a player who feels that he or she committed a foul against another player can and should admit that he or she committed a foul and turn the ball over to the other team for a free kick.
Other Rules
If the ball that is in play gets stuck behind either net, it is considered a dead ball and play stops. The defensive team is awarded the ball, no matter which team kicked the ball behind the net and caused the dead ball. The goalie kicks or dribbles the ball back in to play. A team can intentionally kick the ball behind its own net to cause a dead ball and stop play.
Similarly, if the ball ends up on the stage (platform) and does not roll back off the stage and back in to play on its own, usually because it is caught in the curtain or behind players’ gear, it is considered a dead ball and play stops. The defensive team is awarded the ball, no matter which team kicked the ball on the stage and caused the dead ball. The goalie kicks or dribbles the ball back in to play.
Often, there are substitute players and/or spectators sitting on the stage. If the ball is played and strikes a substitute player or spectator and bounces back in to play, play continues without interruption. This is not the case, however, if the next touch results in a goal or own-goal or if substitute player or spectator clearly and intentionally redirects the ball. In this case, the ball is considered a dead ball and play stops. The defensive team is awarded the ball and the goalie kicks or dribbles the ball back in to play.
At times, balls are kicked up in to the raised backboard apparatuses. If the ball is played and strikes a raised backboard apparatus and bounces back in to play, play continues without interruption. This is not the case, however, if the next touch is a goal or own-goal. In this case, the ball is considered a dead ball and play stops. The defensive team is awarded the ball and the goalie kicks or dribbles the ball back in to play.
When a player is injured or even just appears to be injured, or when a player receives a ball to the face, play stops immediately. Typically, the ball is awarded to the team of the injured player and a player kicks the ball back in to play.
Obscene or offensive language is not allowed. It is the responsibility of each player to be considerate of others and not use obscene or offensive language. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of all the other players to remind players to not use obscene or offensive language.
Friendly disagreements and accidental fouls are a natural part of the game. However, shouting and fighting are not tolerated. It is the responsibility of each player to show the utmost sportsmanship when playing. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of all the other players to remind players to show the utmost sportsmanship during and after matches.
