WIN OR LOOSE DOESN'T MATTER, IT'S HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME THAT COUNTS
- GAME TIME
A full-length game is divided into two halves. Depending on
League rules, a half may range from 20 to 45 minutes with a 5-
to 15- minutes break in between. The referee keeps time with a
watch and time does not stop for balls out of play, free kicks
or other stoppages in play. (At the referee’s discretion, time
may be added if he/she feels time was lost due to substitutions,
injuries, or players/team wasting time or stalling.) The game
begins with a coin toss and kickoff at the center of the field
with each team positioned on its own side. Teams switch sides
after halftime.
