Fouls in Indoor Soccer

In this clip we are going to talk about fouls. A foul is anything that the referee sees as an infraction of the rules of the game. Basically, when that happens, the referee is going to blow his whistle so everyone on the field will be able to hear him. Usually he'll look at whoever he's giving the foul against and let them know the foul was on them. He will then direct which way the kick will go. It's either to one team or the other and he'll point. He then sets the ball down and the team that is awarded the foul, gets the free kick. There are many different infractions that someone can be called for a foul. Such as hand balls. You are not allowed to touch the ball with your hands at any time during the game. Slide tackling; this one is a little bit different outdoor compared to indoor. In outdoor you are allowed to slide tackle if it's legal. In indoor, you are not allowed to slide, tackle or play the ball while you are on the ground. It might not be dangerous, but it's still not allowed. Three line passes; that is considered an infraction of the rules. Boarding; when you are on the boards, you are not allowed to come up against somebody and run them into the boards. Also, the opposing player is not allowed to have two hands on the wall and holding out. That's basically considered obstruction from the ball because you are not playing the ball, you're really playing the wall. This right here is a case of obstruction. Billy is being the offender and he has the ball and I'm being the defender, so I'm coming to try and take the ball from him. But, as you can see, both of his hands are illegally placed on the wall and that is considered obstruction.
