"5 a-side footy rules??"

Right in 5 a-side footy...
is it against the rules to slide tackle or is it legal to do so?

Been playing in a comp at uni and people have been getting heated because some folk have been making harsh slide tackles.

I thought you couldn't do it..

I've been watching the Futsal 5-a-side footy championships on Eurosport today.

In between watching Eurogoals and Serie A update on the same channel.

YeY for Eurosport and their footy ways!

Well, whenever I have played a 5 a-side game I have always slide tackled, don’t know if you are allowed, but I always used to do it. :)

Basically, what Foreman said.

You should really decide beore you start the Fivies if you will allow sliding.

I don't myself like when I play, because it looks stupid above all else.

I did have the Rules for 5 a-side football, but I think I threw it away. I think sliding tackles is an optional rule, as some games you get booked for it and in other tournaments don't mind you slide tackling as long as you get the ball.

Yeah but there are a few rule changes between 5's and outdoor footie.
Like the head height, no players other than keeper in box etc.

Just every comp I played in you got booked for slide tackles.

Whenever I've played 5-a-side footie I've always slid tackled and never had anyone say anything to me about it! Surely it's allowed as its allowed in normal footie!?!
