Rules

At NBJFL, we follow the Standard Code of Rules for Youth (SCORY) and the Standard Code of Rules (SCOR) to ensure every match is played in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. These national frameworks help us uphold the highest standards of fairness and conduct across the league.

In addition, we have our own league-specific rules designed to reflect the unique needs and values of our community. Together, these guidelines support a positive experience for players, coaches, volunteers, and families, on and off the pitch.
