MSL: Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you have a question and don’t see it here, or need more information.... feel free to contact us directly.

Game Rules

What is an indirect kick?

An indirect kick is a free-kick often associated with a penalty that requires a second player (other than the original kicker) to touch the ball before it goes into a goal. Typically a referee will hold his arm in the air during the kick and will drop it when the second player touches the ball.

What is offsides?

This is when a player from Team A is closer to the goalie on Team B than any other Team B player. In other words, the goalie must always have a teammate nearby to help him out. The purpose of this rule is to prevent forwards from hanging around in front of the opposing goal all day, just waiting for a long pass that he can belt home a goal. When a player gets an offsides foul, the opposing team gets an indirect free kick.
