Unified Soccer Rules

  • 5 v 5, ratio of 3 athletes to 2 Unified partners at all times
  • Two 20-minute halves
  • 5-minute halftime
  • Running clock, except on time outs

Ball In/Out of Play

  • Ball over the sideline results in a kick-in
  • Ball over the end line results in a goal clearance or corner kick
  • Kick-ins are treated as an indirect free kick (can not score directly from first touch)

Goal Clearance

  • Goalkeeper always throws the ball back into play beyond his/her own penalty area
  • Goal clearance can not exceed midfield without touching another player or the ground. Failure to achieve this results in an indirect kick to the opponent from the midline
  • A goal clearance that is touched inside the penalty area by any other player results in the throw being retaken
