Match Day Information

3.9 A player must only be selected to play in one of the four National Finals – League 1, League 2, League 3 or League 4.

4. LATE KICK OFFS AND POSTPONEMENTS

4.1 Teams must be on the pitch and ready to play at the scheduled kick off times.

4.2 Any teams that are late will lose the game 5-0 unless it is decided by the league that it would be detrimental to another side in the league.

4.3 In the event that a club is unable to fulfil their fixture, the coach must contact TVS at the earliest opportunity. If a team is unable to fulfil a fixture, the match will be forfeited 5-0 (unless it is decided by the league that it would be detrimental to another side in the league). Any team that does not show up for a scheduled fixture where there has been no written agreement or communication can be fined up to £100. Postponement of fixtures will usually only be authorised in the event of extreme adverse weather conditions, an accident or an act of god. It is at the discretion of the FLTFL committee whether the circumstances warrant the fixture being re-arranged.

4.4 If a team do not have enough players available to fulfil a fixture, the result will be forfeited and a 5-0 victory will be awarded to the opposition (unless it is decided by the league that it would be detrimental to another side in the league). If a team has more than one fixture, the players available must play for the most senior side (i.e. the A team) with the remaining fixture(s) forfeited.

4.5 Failure to comply with the aforementioned postponement procedure will result in a 5-0 defeat for the club concerned.

4.6 In the event that a postponement is authorised, it shall be re-arranged to be played at the earliest opportunity that suits all parties, where possible no later than six weeks from the date of the original fixture. While all parties will need to be in agreement on the new date, it is the responsibility of the team that cancelled the original fixture to ensure they are available on any suggested dates. If an agreed date cannot be found before the end of the season, the team that cancelled the original fixture will forfeit the game and a 5-0 victory will be awarded to the opposition.

4.7 The FLTFL committee shall review all cases where matches have been abandoned due to the conduct of either or both teams. Where it does no injustice to either team, the FLTFL committee shall be empowered to order the score at the time of the abandonment to stand. Where the FLTFL committee are satisfied that a match was abandoned due to the conduct of one team or its players/staff they shall be empowered to award the points for the match to

the opponents and/or take any further action they may deem necessary. In cases where a match is abandoned owing to the conduct of both teams or their players/staff, the FLTFL committee shall take such action as they consider appropriate.

5. DISCIPLINE

5.1 All clubs must demonstrate respect for the referees, venue staff, coaches and players of other clubs.

5.2 All matches will start and finish with the respect handshake between both teams and the match day officials

5.3 It is the responsibility of the club coach to ensure that these standards are adhered to. Please refer to the ‘Coaches Code of Conduct’ (page 22) for further information.

5.4 Yellow cards will be awarded at the discretion of the referee but will typically be given for:

— Unsporting behaviour — Dissent — Persistent infringement of the rules

5.5 Red cards will be awarded at the discretion of the referee but will typically be given for:

— Serious Foul Play — Violent Conduct — Deliberately preventing a goal scoring

opportunity by unfair means — Using offensive or abusive language — Receiving 2 yellow cards

5.6 Any player that receives 3 yellow cards over the course of the season will be suspended for one game. Any player that receives 9 yellow cards over the course of the season will be suspended for two games. The suspension will begin immediately and will apply to the A, B, C and D teams.

5.7 Any player that receives a red card will be suspended for one game. The suspension will begin immediately and will apply to the A, B, C and D teams.

5.8 Any yellow cards accumulated prior to the 31st January 2016 will be subject to a yellow card amnesty and therefore suspensions will only be enforced where 3 yellow cards have been accrued either before or after the cut-off date.

5.9 For any incident which does not fall under standard dismissal offences or is deemed by the referee as a serious offence, a misconduct charge will be issued (See Appendix 2). All misconduct charges will be referred to a disciplinary panel who will decide on further action within 5 days of the charge being issued.

1. RULES

1.1 All Football League Trust Futsal League (FLTFL) matches will be played in accordance with the FIFA Futsal Laws. The FIFA Futsal Laws can be viewed at:

http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/refereeing/51/44/50/lawsofthegamefutsal2014_15_e_neutral.pdf

1.2 It is the responsibility of the club coach to ensure that all players are familiar with these match day rules.

1.3 All games will consist of two 20 minutes halves of continuous running time, with a two minute interval at half time.

1.4 A team may name up to 9 substitutes for any match but there is no limit to the number of substitutions that can be made during a game.

1.5 Players may substitute at any time during the match without notifying the referee but must wait for the departing player to leave the pitch before entering.

1.6 A player can play for any of their clubs A, B, C or D teams throughout the season but cannot play for more than one of those teams in the same game week. A game week will cover a fortnightly period in which a club’s A, B, C and D team will all play their fixtures. The start and finish dates for each game week are detailed on page 12.

1.7 If a player has already played for one of his club’s teams and plays again within the same game week, the result will be forfeited and a 5-0 victory will be awarded to the opposition (unless it is decided by the league that it would be detrimental to another side in the league).

1.8 All players will be issued with an ID card which must be presented to the referee before kick-off. If a player is unable to present his ID card it will be at the discretion of the referee whether that player will be allowed to participate in the match.

1.9a It is compulsory for all players, including goalkeepers to wear shinguards. Any players who are not wearing shinguards will not be permitted to play.

1.9b On match days all clubs are required to have a staff member who, as a minimum requirement, holds a basic first aid for sport qualification and who has an appropriate first aid kit.

2. MATCH DAY FORM

2.1 For all FLTFL matches an official Match Day Form (see Appendix 1) is to be completed and submitted by the club coach detailing:

— Team Sheet — Half Time and Full Time Scores — Goalscorers — Yellow and Red Cards — Match Report

2.2 The Match Day Form is to be submitted via email to [email protected] on the following day of the match.

2.3 The Match report will provide a brief summary of the match and as a rough guide should be no shorter than 100 words and no longer than 200 words.

2.4 All information submitted in the Match Day Form will be used to document the matches on the FLTFL website.

3. SCORING SYSTEM

3.1 Three points will be awarded for a win and one for a draw.

3.2 Teams equal on points will be separated by goal difference, followed by goals scored, followed by the aggregate results between the two teams that are level.

3.3 In the event that a club has to withdraw a team from a league, it must be the club’s least senior team, i.e. if a club has 4 teams, the ‘D’ team. All points won or lost against that team shall be expunged from the competition table.

3.4 The top teams from each league will qualify for the National Finals tournaments to be played at the end of season. Please refer to pages 13-19 for the breakdown of how many teams qualify from each division. The National Final tournaments will determine the National League 1, League 2, League 3 and League 4 champions for the 2015-2016 season

3.5 The structure of the National Finals tournaments and all fixtures will be advised to participating teams upon completion of the league schedule and posted on the FLTFL website.

3.6 Finals teams must ensure they are available for all scheduled games.

3.7 In the event of a qualified team being unable to play in the finals tournament, the next highest ranked team in that league will qualify.

3.8 At the National Finals, players should only represent the team that they have featured for most throughout the season. As a guide, a player would be expected to have played at in least 50% of the games of the team that they have been selected for, e.g. any player selected to play in the League 2 National Finals should have played in at least 50% of the B team’s games throughout the season. Should a team wish to select a player that doesn’t fit this criteria they should contact [email protected] to seek extenuating circumstances. It is at the discretion of the FLTFL committee whether the player is allowed to play for a team that they have not played 50% of games for throughout the season.’

Football League Trust Futsal League:Coaches Code of Conduct

All players, coaches and officials involved in the Football League Trust Futsal League have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour within the game. In order to achieve the high standards expected, the league relies on the full co-operation of everyone involved.

As club coach, I take ultimate responsibility for the conduct of my team and agree to abide by the responsibilities stated below;

I agree: — To ensure my players are made fully aware of

futsal’s unique rules as many of them will be new to Futsal. My aim is to enable them to play to their best ability within the laws of the game

— To embrace the spirit of Futsal and create a positive playing environment as generating a negative playing experience may be detrimental to the students’ classroom studies

— To remember that this is first and foremost and educational programme, and therefore players must be up to date with their studies. I accept that it is irresponsible to reward students with game time who are significantly behind in their studies without good reason. Game time should be a reward for dedicated efforts in class, not a given

— That I will not field an ineligible player at any time and accept that there will be consequences should I do so

— To ensure that all necessary items are brought to fixtures, in particular a first aid kit and player ID

— To ensure players will have their ID cards at all fixtures, if not I will notify TVS Education prior to leaving or accept that they may not be able to play in the given fixture

— To treat attending coaching CPD days as a priority in my schedule

— To uphold the reputation of FLT Futsal, my community trust and professional parent club…

— To display and promote high standards of

behaviour at all times

— To refrain from using offensive or abusive language/behaviour at all times

— To show respect to all others involved on match days including referees, match day officials, opposition players and opposition coaches

— To ensure that changing facilities are left in an acceptable state when my players have finished with them. I accept that I will be responsible for any costs incurred as a result of damage caused through the misuse of the changing facilities

— To accept and respect all decisions made by match day officials

— To never publically engage in criticism of match day officials

— To never enter the pitch without the permission of the match day officials

— To adhere to the laws of the game

It is my responsibility to ensure that my players: — Understand the high standards of behaviour

and respect that are expected from them — Accept and respect all decisions made by

match day officials — Refrain from using offensive or abusive

language/behaviour at all times — Learn to accept responsibility for their own

behaviour — Understand that fair play, player safety and

enjoyment of the game are more important than winning at all costs
