RULES OF THE GAME
FIFA, which is the international football
(soccer) association that defines the rules of the game, has provided
the official rules in HTML format. Here is a link to the Laws
of the Game 2006.
Another great, free reference from FIFA is their
document called Questions and Answers
to the Laws of the Game. [500kb]
Please remember that the US Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) issues
their own “official” modified FIFA soccer rules for players
under the age of 12. These modified rules are essentially guidelines
for the appropriate number of players, field size, and ball size for different
age levels. Here are links to them.
Local and state soccer organizations are strongly
encouraged to adopt the soccer rules from the USYSA.
2010 is the year for the next World Cup Soccer games.
