Season Play

Futsal Colorado Denver South plays its games on Wednesdays. The schedule is dictated by the court times we secure from the facility.

Teams will be scheduled to play 8 games. Each game consists of 2 x 24 minute halves with a 2 minute half time break.

IMPORTANT COACH INFORMATION
There is no coaching license to coach a team. Any adult who is registered with the team as a coach or manager can sit the bench.  This is a great option for teams with outdoor coaches who want to take a break, but still want their teams to continue to develop their skills, have fun and play.

Coaches with multiple teams
Futsal Colorado will accommodate coaches with multiple teams by scheduling them with back-to-back games at the same facility as much as possible. We encourage you to split your outdoor teams into two futsal teams so that every player gets as many touches of the ball as possible. A discount is provided specifically for these teams under sibling team.

Game Scorecards
Before each game, a pre-printed game card will be available from the referees. The cards will be populated with player names and numbers. Please check the cards for accuracy and then hand them back to the referees before the game begins. At the end of each game the referee will hand the bench coaches the completed game cards. The coaches are to sign the cards and in doing so verify the score. The scores on the signed cards are official and will be entered into the standings.

Competition Format & Rules
Official futsal FIFA Rules and Regulations as stated under the Laws of The Game will be enforced with some "House Rules" exceptions. Please review the Laws of the Game from the Futsal Colorado website.

League Fees
Fees register one team of up to 12 players and 2 coaches. The fees include referees’ fees. 

Player Cards

Futsal Colorado will maintain player cards. To be eligible to play, each player must have a card. Player cards are issued only after full payment of the USYF yearly membership fee, signed Medical and Media Release forms have been received and all players have been registered online. 

Sibling Teams / Double Rostering
1) A sibling team is created from an outdoor team that split into two or more futsal teams. If you have a sibling team in the league, you may borrow up to 4 players from the sibling team.  
2) Players may also be double rostered on teams that are in different age divisions, but can not play down an age group.

Visiting team kicks off first.

Forfeited Games
If a team fails to show for a scheduled match or does not have enough players to start, the referee shall start the clock but allows a 15 minute grace period for the team to be ready to play. After the 15 minutes, if the team has not yet arrived or does not have enough players to field a team (4), the game will be forfeited. The game will be tallied as a 3 to 0 loss for the forfeiting team and a 3 to 0 win for their opponent.

If the referee terminates a match for reasons other than an act of God or field conditions, the Futsal Colorado Competition Committee will decide the result of the match after hearing the official reason from the referee, and both coaches.

Teams forfeiting a match will not receive a refund on their registration fee.

Forfeited games are recorded as a 3 - 0 loss.

The minimum penalty for an ejection is that the player shall not be permitted to play in the immediate next match.

The maximum penalty, after review by the Futsal Colorado Competition Committee, may result in the individual players or teams’ expulsion from the competition.

If a player is ejected from a match the referee will hold onto the player pass, document red card on the back of the score sheet and present it to the Futsal Colorado League administrator. The player will have his/her pass returned after a one game suspension.

Games Cancelled by opponents
If an opponent cancels a game or does not show for the game, the other team may use the game time. There are no refunds for games cancelled by opponents. If a team must cancel, call Futsal Colorado as soon as possible so we can notify the referees and give the other team a chance to plan accordingly. Cancelling a game not only short-changes your team, but your scheduled opponent. Games cancelled by teams will not be rescheduled. 

Reschedules
At time of registration, each team is expected to check the schedule for conflicts. Please notify Futsal Colorado of any conflicts before the registration deadline. If the manager does not report the conflicts no reschedules will be made.

Games cancelled by Futsal Colorado
We reserve the right to postpone or cancel games at any time for any reason such as bad weather or facility problems. If we have to cancel games we will do our utmost to reschedule those games. No refunds are issued for games cancelled outside our control.
