Super Soccer Rules
All coaches should be aware of rule changes that will help align the Laws of the Game across both Senior and Junior Super Soccer tournaments as well as with all other indoor leagues and tournaments within the NWT.
- Firstly, any player can now enter the crease.
- Secondly, and more importantly, goalkeepers may not pick up the ball with their hands when it is received (passed-back) from an intentional FOOT PASS from a teammate. So yes, the goalkeeper can pick up the ball if a teammate intentionally passes to their keeper with another part of their body (e.g. chest, head, knee) or it accidentally goes off the players foot (e.g. so a one-time kick the player shanks).
