For 5v5, 6v6, and 7v7 games substitutions are allowed “on the fly”.

For 9 v 9 and 11 v 11 games substitutions are allowed at any stoppage, and therefore not “on the fly”.

 

No slide tackles for U10 and under.  However, player can slide or tackle to get the ball if his/her opponent is not close to them / within the playing area and if the action does not jeopardize the safety of an opponent. An example would be to slide to prevent the ball from going out or sliding to score with no opponent within the playing area.

A slide tackle in the penalty area with contact with an opponent made is a penalty kick, without contact is an indirect free kick.
