       ·         U8 = 6 and 7 year olds

Game Duration: 

·         Each game will be 30 minutes in length with no halftime. 

Game Times:

Games will be played during the 10am- 5pm time block on Saturdays. 

Game Format: 

All U6 AND U8 games will be 4v4 with no goalies … U10 games will be 3v3 or 4v4 (coach's discretion)

A size three futsal ball (slightly weighted) will be used.

All restarts or out-of-bounds plays are considered to be direct kicks from the spot of the infraction

All games will start with a player from each team standing back to back with a ball between them ... when the whistle blows the players turn, the ball drops and the game begins.

Game Equipment:

Players are required to wear shin guards during every game ... NO EXCEPTIONS

Players may wear sneakers .... no cleats 

Players are responsible for bringing water

Coaches:

·         Coaches will act more like supervisors in that they will ensure equal playing time for all players if subs are present. 

·         Coaches will also act as referees if referees are not present.

Practices:

Due to the lack of venues, there will be no organized practices unless organized separately by the coach/supervisor.

Rules Enforcement: 

·         The referees will NOT be calling every single violation.  Handballs and minor fractions will be loosely called.  Tripping or other infractions deemed to “endanger” the safety of players will be called and a direct kick will be rewarded. NOTE: THE REFEREES WILL CALL THE GAMES TIGHTER WITH THE OLDER AGE DIVISION

·         All play-ins from balls being kicked out of bounds or penalties will result in a direct kick from the approximate location of the ball leaving the field of play.  NO THROW-INS.
