5 a Side Comp

21 Jan 2016 by Leanne Richards

Korumburra City Soccer Club (KCSC) are organising a 5-a-side indoor competition, to be held during February at the new indoor sports hall in Korumburra’s recreation Centre on the new Astro Turf surface. The competition will be played on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, involving 6 teams of a maximum of 8 players over a 6 week period.

The first ‘kick off’ is planned for the 3rd February and entries are now open, places will be offered on a first come first serve basis for complete Teams only.

Each team will need to nominate a Captain who will coordinate the Team entry, including Registration of Team Name, the Players, Entrance Fees and Liability Waiver and Medical declaration documentation.

The games will be played at the new indoor pitch at the Korumburra Rec Reserve, which has a new AstroTurf surface.

Each game is planned to be 30 min long consisting of two 15 min half’s (quick drink and switch at half time). The competition is open to all ages and gender. Teams will get the standard 3 point for a win, a point for a draw and nothing for a loss. Team positions tying on points at the end of the tournament will be determined on Goal Difference. Finals will take place on the 6 week where the top two teams in the league will play off, 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th respectively.

KCSC 5-A-Side Rules

The surface may ‘burn the knees’, therefore sliding tackles are most certainly BANNED and will result in a free kick.

The facility also has side nets, if the ball is played into the net, it will result in a ‘kick in’ to the opposite team. The ball is not to be kicked over a typical adults head height (this is at the discretion of the match official), again this will result in a free kick.

Goals cannot be scored from inside the D, if a defender kicks the ball inside the D there will be a resulting penalty kick. The Goal Keeper cannot come out of the D, nor handle the ball outside the D.

Interchange can happen at any number of times, but the team can only have 5 players on the pitch at any time or the opposition team will have a free kick.

Clothing and Footwear

Suitable Footwear and Shin Guards must be worn by every player.

Each team should identify a primary colour in the registration and that will be there for the tournament, bibs will be available for any clashes of colour.

Fees
Entry Registration fees are as follows:

Team: consisting of a Maximum of 8 players (5 on the pitch at any time) = $160 (8 players means $20 a player for six weeks)

We have a strict “No Pay, No Play” policy, entry fees will be required up front. All fees have to be paid in full before your registration is complete and players need to be registered to qualify to play.

Once a team has committed and paid in full, there are no refunds or additions to the team sheet, part way through the tournament.

Registration
Team Entry forms are available by request from Rory Cull at rorycull@hotmail.com or texting 0447 141971.

Each team must elect a Team Captain who will be responsible for team administration. Individual players need to fill out the entry form and liability disclosure documentation. If under 18 you will need a parent of guardians consent to play.

Captain to Name the Team and will be the main point of contact for match officials.

Registration Team Packs must be submitted complete.

If teams are looking for players then we will take individual request and notify Team Captains of availability.

Finally
Fundamentally this is being organized for some fun in the off season, there is NO prize money just a little pride, but that said the organisers will demand respect and require discipline of the players.

Two Yellow Cards in a game will be a sending off, with a one match ban, straight red will be a three match ban. The Officials Decision IS FINAL.

Kick off will be prompt, any team will need a minimum of 3 players to play, failing that the game will be forfeited at a score of 3 – 0.

We look forward to seeing you in this upcoming season
