We are in the process of updating the Recreation League manual, but in the meantime please note the following revised overtime procedure:

Winner of coin flip gets choice which goal to attack, loser of coin flip gets to kickoff. Teams play 7 v 7 (5 v 5 for U-09/U-10) with no goal keeper for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes, play is blown dead. Teams must remove one player. Teams will reverse directions and the team that got possession during original coin flip is defending. [Both teams can make substitutions at the five minute mark.] Every 2 minutes play is blown dead, and with teams removing another player, until there are only 4 players left per team (3 players for U-09/U-10), i.e. the lowest we go is 4 v 4 (3 v 3 for U-09/U-10). Game restarted at center circle, with alternating initial possession but no change of direction. Teams will play until a goal is scored. No offsides will be called but all other normal rules apply.

If there is a handling of the ball in the penalty area, the offending team may designate one of the players on the field as goalie for the penalty kick. This player has all the rights and regulations of a goalie. If the player stops the penalty shot, the player has six seconds to release the ball. Once the ball is released, the player is not considered a goalie. If a player prevents a goal by handling the ball or commits an offense preventing a goal, the player will not receive a red card.

No substitutes are permitted during overtime except for at the change of halves.
