Refunds can take several weeks to process and will be returned to the form of payment used when your player was registered.  Bank service fees WILL NOT be refunded.   The last day to request a refund is August 26th, 2023.

Team Size: 

Number of Players & Playing Time:  Each team will have seven players on the field for a total of fourteen (14) on the field at one time. This includes the goalie.  

Before any player may play an entire game, all other players on the team must play at least 50% of the game.

Mercy Rule:   If a team goes ahead by 5 goals, the other team is allowed to add a player on the field. The additional player may remain on the field until a 4 goal differential is met. For example, a team is up 5-0. The other team places an additional player on the field and if the score becomes 5-1, then the additional player must go off the field.

Game Periods:  25 minute halves.  Half time is 5 minutes. 

Substitutions:  Open substitution for either team (with referee permission) anytime play is stopped for a ball that is off the field.  The team may also substitute at half-time, or for an injury.  Substitutes must be at the mid-field line waiting for referee permission to enter. 

Ball Size:  Size 4 

Coaches:  Coaching is from the team side only, in the designated coaches boxes.   Coaches must stay off the field unless summoned by the referee.   Coaching is not permitted from the spectator side or from behind the goals!!!

Slide Tackling:  Slide tackling is not permitted at this age group.  Players should stay on their feet.  Slide tackling is penalized with an indirect free kick.  Slide tackling from behind is penalized with a direct free kick. If a slide tackle from behind occurs in the penalty area, a PK is awarded.   Repeated offense may result in a yellow card caution or red card dismissal. 

Off Side:  Off side is enforced. 

Heading: Heading the ball is not allowed in this age group

Throw-ins:  For improper throw-ins, the referee may give players a second chance, but is not required to do so; expect the ball to be given to the other team.
