3v3 Rules:
1. General Play:
All games are played on the unique AirPitch system, which keps the ball in play for longer and increases game intensity.
Each game begins with all players touching their own net.
On the referee's whistle, player's race to the ball that's placed on the centre.
2. Ball out of Play:
If the ball leaves the pitch, play restarts with a kick-in from the point where it went out, awarded to the opposing team.
3. Scoring and Kick-offs:
After a goal, the scoring team must retreat to their own goal and wait until the ball is kicked to restart play.
At kick-off, the ball must be placed near the centre line and kicked backwards to begin.
Goals cannot be scored directly from your own half.
4. Fouls and Penalties:
Any foul or handball, in either half, results in a half-way open-net penalty.
Players cannot stand within 1 metre of their own goal at any time.
5. Discipline:
Sin Bin: Serious foul play results in a 3-minute sin bin. The player must leave the pitch and may only return when the referee allows.
Red Card: A red card may be issued for severe misconduct and carries a minimum 2-game suspension.
