Soccer -The High Kick rule.
The same high kick rule that the ESSC enforces in indoor soccer applies to our outdoor leagues as well. The most significant difference is that except for in specific leagues there is not usually a GC at outdoor games to help monitor this rule. The High kick rule is not currently documented in the outdoor soccer rules, but please try to abide by it as much as possible.
For reference it is described below:
High Kicking: If a player kicks or attemps to kick a ball that is above their own waist.
Repercussions:
Indirect free kick for the opposing team.

Slo-Pitch - Injured Player in the Rotation
If a player on a slo-pitch team is injured during the game and they are unable to play further, what happens at their next turn in the batting line-up?
Repercussions:
In the case where it is a male player who is injured, their spot in the batting line-up may be skipped over without consequence. If it is a female player injured, asuming that you have 4 or more females, the next girl in the line-up would rotate in to fill that spot. If the injury causes a team to have less than 3 female players, they would be forced to take an out at that point in their line-up.

Rec Slo-Pitch - Pitching
In Recreational Slo-Pitch, teams pitch to themselves. Efforts should be made for the pitches to be considered legal slo-pitch pitches, meaning they should arc at least 6 feet off of the ground. Pitching a faster more direct ball would potentially enable the hitter to hit the ball significantly further and thus it is discouraged.
Repercussions:
Illegal pitches, even those resulting in a hit, should be called foul in rec Slo-Pitch.

Floor Hockey - High Sticking
In ESSC floor Hockey any stick, at any point in the game, that goes above your waist is a high stick.This rule ALWAYS applies, whether you are running, calling for a sub or are away from the play. There are certain situations (while running down the floor, celebrating a goal, etc) where a warning may be given instead of a penalty.
Repercussions:
1) For your first one: if you, a teammate, or your bench clearly calls it, then you sit for two minutes but your team does not play short handed.
2) For your second one: Regardless of who calls it, you are out for the remainder of the game and your team plays shorthanded for two minutes.
3) For your first one: if you do not call it, and the GC does, you sit for two minutes and your team plays short handed.
