Division Laws

While all soccer programs play the game by the same general rules, every organization is permitted to make certain adjustments for local conditions.  The Fishers Soccer Club is no different.

This section of the site will be the repository for all the localized division rules and other items related to rules and game play. We've even included a link to the F.I.F.A. site for the official "Laws of the Game" as the rules are referred to within soccer around the world.

Players are NOT permitted to wear jewelry during practice or games.  Prohibited items include earrings, necklaces, pins, and hard hair ties.  Players should not pierce their ears in close proximity to the season as the earrings and other jewelry will have to be removed prior to play.
