PLEASE READ AND SHARE WITH PLAYERS, COACHES & FANS
*Futsal is a limited contact sport and will be called tight by the league officials. In an effort to keep the entry cost reasonable the league employs 1 official per game. Teams are expected to play with integrity and assist the official when possible. Team reps must share the below initiative with their players to assist the league in operating a fair and enjoyable playing environment:

The level of play is high but the physicality and dissent became too much in the 1st year of play. With that said, the “futsal laws of the game” will be closely enforced. True futsal is a “non-contact” game so the RASL will not allow “intentional contact”. Intentional contact includes when a player bodies another player or uses his/her hands to purposely foul and gain an advantage. Inadvertent contact during the run of play or a situation where a “clear” advantage is in play will allow a “play-on” to occur. Generally the advantage will be allowed in the offensive area where a scoring opportunity is developing. The league will not tolerate persistent infringement of these rules and will continue to work to improve the RASL game so it is competitive but fun for all teams involved.
