MGLL: Modifications to USL Rules

– Coaching Area-edge of sub box to end line.
– Uniforms- under garments can be different
– GK2 – Time: 4 10 min quarters
– Substantial advantage 4 - 6 goals (depends on grade) (USL is 4)
– Modified Field–offside will be played on a mod. field holding 2 players back behind midfield line
– Shooting net –not be allowed
– One – two pass rule (Depends on grade)
– Finish out 8m at end of each half
– GK2 – Can shoot on 8m free position if passes have been met
Pass Rule After each draw control, one/two passes must be attempted
to a player in the offensive end of the field before her team may shoot. Failure to do so will result in a minor foul.
After each change of possession in the defensive end of the field, one/two passes must be attempted to a player in the offensive end of the field before her team may shoot. Failure to do so will result in a minor foul. If incomplete or dropped but recovered by the offensive team -> will count as pass.
Pass cannot come from the goalie The pass count resets only after ball is outside offensive side
of restraining line
One pass rule: scenarios A pass attempt is counted if it crosses midfield (pass
from defensive end and caught in offensive end). Pass count does not start again after shot recovered
by offense: (rebound, wide shot, or by interception of the goalie’s clearing pass)
If offense has made required pass attemps and defense gains possession but turns it back over to offense before clearing restraining area, then pass count not restarted for offense
Umpires will not tell players "they can shoot", because additional passes might be the right thing to do.
Three second good defense• Player with the ball may not hold the ball for more than 3 seconds when: Closely guarded/marked The defense has both hands on her stick The defense is in position to check were checking not allowed (U13 and
below; U15 if criteria not met) (minor foul, change of possession at the spot)
Player with the ball takes her stick to the other side of her body or changes direction, stop count
Another teammate joins the defender and the 2nd defender is in position to check…do not stop count
Umpire – HOLD UP YOUR ARM! Audible and visible count (1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, whistle)
Shooting space
• **Free Space to Goal: think of cone from ball to both sides of goal circle
Positioning applies to non-marking defenders when an attacker is looking to shoot
Not a foul - defender drawn into the free space to goal by an attacker (&within marking distance) : (be ready to call dangerous propelling)
Not a foul – defenders double or triple team attacker with the ball
Not a (shooting space) foul - defenders double or triple teaming a player without the ball (foul might be 3-seconds)
Professionalism, Responsibilities, Ethics
Knowledge & Judgment
Positioning, Field Coverage, and Fitness
Game Management, Penalty Administration , Mechanics
Comportment, Communication, Teamwork

Dangerous checks G78 FC- "player-initiated" check to the head is a mandatory RED card - player must sit
out her team’s next game Not red (maybe yellow) if contact from misplays (fighting for ground ball,
fighting for balls in air…)
Attacker runs through double and checks herself in head (no call or charge?)
All other levels – Any check to the head is a mandatory yellow card
Communications Communication between umpires and coaches should be
respectful and professional Only the Head Coach or Captain(s) will communicate with
the umpires during play Questions vs. Comments If coach feels something is not being called or called
incorrectly, approach both umpires at half time along with a coach from the other team OR call a timeout and do the same
