The IFAB Laws of the Game are the official rules that guide how soccer is played around the world. They cover everything from field setup and player equipment to fouls, restarts, penalties, and referee responsibilities.
For SCCYSA, these laws help create a fair, safe, and consistent playing experience for players, coaches, referees, and families. While youth leagues may adjust certain rules by age group, the IFAB Laws provide the foundation for how the game is understood and officiated.
