Rule Changes to the OHTSL.

     All U-9 games will now be played with off-sides. In the fall 2016 the leagues agreed that off-sides needed to be a part of the game and made it a rule for all U-10 (2007) games. it also agreed that fall each year would be to train the youngest group this year 2008 (U-9) in the fall and begin off-sides each spring.

     Heading is not allowed in ages U8, U9, U10, and U11. If in the referees opinion a player intentionally heads the ball the result shall be an indirect free kick awarded to the opponent at the spot of the infraction. If the header is in the box, it will result in an indirect free kick just outside of the box.
