NJCAA Soccer Procedures and Match Reports

Jack Sweeney has provided a full description of the NJCAA Soccer Rules differences and Region XV match report. Major soccer rules differences and points of emphasis include:

  • Unlimited substitutions;
  • A team may substitute on their own throw-ins, own corner kicks or any goal kick;
  • If the team in possession does substitute and the opposing team has a substitute waited at half-field, the opposing team may also substitute at that time;
  • Substitutes should always be waiting at half-field to enter the game, not in front of their bench area;
  • When a player is cautioned, a substitute must report into the game for the cautioned player. The substitute must remain in the game until the next legal substitution opportunity as a minimum. This provision applies to the goalkeeper;
  • The clock does not stop during substitutions;
  • The clock only stops on goals, injuries (when the referee stops the game), cautions and ejections;
  • Overtime is two, 10 minute sudden-death periods.
