SPECIAL COED RULES & REGULATIONS
I) Each team will field a total of seven players; 3 male and 3 female, and a goalkeeper of either sex. The minimum number of players required to start a game is five with one female included in that number. A team may have more females than males on the field at any time. Similarly, there can be more male players on the field than female players so long as there are no more than three male players (excluding the goalkeeper).
A female may score from anywhere on the field. A male may score from outside the red line or from within the red line if he receives a pass from a female player. A female goal is worth 2 points. A male goal is worth 1 point. A male player who is "live" (having received the ball from a female player) can play the ball off the wall and still be "hot" (able to shoot from inside the red line) as long as the ball was not touched. If a "live" player shoots and the ball is deflected off the goalkeeper, he is still "live" and may shoot again. If a female shoots and the ball is deflected off a defender, only one point is awarded.
There is no sliding or slide tackling allowed in a coed game with the exception of the goalkeeper in his box. Dangerous play will be determined at the referee's discretion and a two-minute penalty may be given if deemed necessary by the referee.
Shootouts in coed — one point for males — two points for females.
