A Shoot-Out occurs at the end of regulation time when the district or both coaches agree to a shootout before the match begins. We have provided the basic mechanics for managing a shoot-out. Be sure to read the attached Shootout Procedures Document and Shootout Presentation as they contain additional information on procedures, positioning and responsiblities.

Kickers	If there is no winner after 5 attempts, teams will continue taking alternate shots until one team attains one more goal than its opponent.
Miscellaneous:
The first ten attempts by each team, must be taken by different kickers. If the team has less than 10 eligible players, then no kicker on that team can repeat until all players have kicked. In this situation, the opposing team will NOT reduce to equate The 10th kicker can also be the 11th kicker GK may be freely substituted for Once a player enters the center circle as a kicker, that player may not be substituted for If the GK leaves the goal line before the play has been started by AR1, the kick will be stopped and retaken Any other foul by GK will result in penalty kick, regardless of where it occurred, if no goal was scored. The PK must be taken by the fouled kicker, unless injured. If injured, a substitue can be made but both the original kicker and the substitute must wait until the next batch of 10 kickers before they can take the next kick. Any foul by the K ends the attempt with a no goal result Normal misconduct rules apply (i.e. caution or send-off) for both the GK and K.  Send-off can be applied for denying a goal (i.e. keeper, while outside the PK, stopping with his hands a shot headed for the goal).  No sendoff is applied for DGSO. If the GK is cautioned, they must be substituted for and cannot participate in the next kick (i.e. If PK is to be awarded, the GK must sit out the PK and the next kick by his team and can then return at the next attempt by the opponent.
