Kick-off. The ball need not move forward from a kickoff. Opponents must stand five yards away from the ball until it is in play. All other eleven-a-side rules apply: remember, you can score directly from a kick-off.
Sliding tackles. No sliding tackles are permitted. This is dangerous play and will be sanctioned by an indirect free kick. This rule does not ban all slides. You may, for example, slide to keep a ball from rolling into touch so long as there are no opponents near the ball. Also, goalkeepers are permitted to go down in order to make saves.
Interpretation. All matches must be played according to the referee's interpretation of the rules. It is the team captain's responsibility to make sure that his players know the rules.
