1) Minor (misplay, procedural), penalty administration is 4 meters away from the ball and the ball is no closer than 12 meters to the goal circle


2) Major (safety), penalty administration is 4 meters behind and the ball is no closer than 8 meters to the goal circle.


3) Cardable/Misconduct (excessive), penalty administration is a card. Ball is no closer than 8 meters to the goal circle. For a card, the player will serve a specific time penalty AND the team will play short.


CARDS: A player will serve 2 minutes for a yellow card and serve the duration of the game for a red card. The cards are non-releasable.
