Team colours

Teams must play in their designated team colours. If two teams have the same colour strip one team, must wear an alternative colour (or provided bibs). This should be agreed by captains prior to the match.

Player equipment

Players must wear appropriate footwear. Studs or cleats are not allowed at the National Hockey Centre. Any players wearing inappropriate footwear will be asked to leave the pitch. Shin guards are optional but recommended.

Referee duty

Matches must kick-off and end on time. If a match kicks-off late, playing time will be reduced to ensure that it ends on time.

A team who fails to provide a referee or fulfil assigned duties will lose 3 points and a $50 deduction in the bond refund. Referees must be equipped with stopwatch, whistle, pen and paper and submit results via My Sunday Soccer by midday on Monday.

Minimum players

Teams must comprise of at least 5 registered players from their team for a result to stand (otherwise the win is awarded to the opponent). A maximum of 2 ring-in players from other Sunday Soccer League teams is permitted. Read the rules for more information.

Teams who do not field a team will lose 3 points.
