FIFA Laws of the Game

League Modifications

There are no roster requirements in the IPSL. Players may play up or down in age divisions.

All players and coaches must present to the referee, prior to the start of the match, a current ISA membership pass, with picture, signature and laminated 
both sides, from the club they represent. This may be the traditional USYSA pass or the ISA Club Pass. Players may only play for one club in the IPSL.

Guest players are allowed. Referees must inform both coaches of guest players. A player or coach who arrives to a match late must present a current pass  
to the sideline official at the time of arrival. Only coaches and players who have presented passes may be on the team sidelines. Spectators are required to   
take the opposite side of the field.

There are no exceptions to this rule. If the referee cannot verify everyone on the field is registered, the match will be abandoned and logged as not played.

Match Duration

U11/U12             30 minute halves
U13/U14             35 minute halves.
U15/U19             40 minutes halves.

Coaches may change the length of any match as long as both coaches agree and inform the referee prior to the start of a match.

Teams play the match length of the oldest team scheduled to compete. Coaches will advise referees if they are playing two games in one day.

Substitutions

U13 and Older Age Divisions

Unlimited substitutions at any stoppage at the discretion of the referee.

U11/12 Age Division

Unlimited Substitutions shall be made with the consent of the referee at the following times: Both teams may substitute if players are at the center mark.

Inclement Weather

Once a match has started, the referee is responsible for postponing matches that are a risk to all participants. Prior to the start time of the match, the field  
managers & the coaches have the responsibility. Both coaches must inform the referee that they have agreed not to play a match due to the weather conditions.
Referees will be paid for matches that have started and must be cancelled.

Assessments

The IPSL will pay for referee assessments for all referees who commit to 5 or more games per season. Please contact your assignor if you would like to be assessed. Teams will play full matches if an assesment is requested.

Mentoring

The IPSL will assist all referees who would like guidance from a mentor through the IRC mentoring program. We feel strongly that the league should provide 
the environment for the development of the player and the referee. Please contact your area assignor if you wish to be assigned a mentor.
