Our starting point is The 2023-2024 Laws of the Game, which are established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), and govern play in all Southern Nevada Soccer Association games.  All SNSA referees are expected to have a thorough knowledge of the Laws of the Game.  SNSA uses small-sided play formats in our U5-U6 (3v3), U7-U8 (4v4), U9-U10 (5v5), and U11-U12 (8v8) divisions, so we have established modified rules that are applicable to each play format. SNSA referees should also review the rule books for each play format to become familiar with the special rules associated with small-sided play.
