| Rules |
Coaches assist in restarting a ball after a goal is scored or if the ball leaves the field of play. There are no referees in this age group. Coaches guide players on throw-ins or goal-kicks. Coaches also guide players on the build up line (Retreat Line, half field). Players on the defending team must move back to the half-line when the attacking team is taking a goal-kick. Sub on the fly. One coach from each team is allowed on the field. Coaches should stay out of the main game action and guide players from the side or rear of the game field. Coaches should keep close track of time in regards to the warm-up and 10 minute quarters. A 2 minute break should be taken between quarters.
The focus for this age group is FUN! Please do not allow teams to run up the score on another team that is less developed. If a team is up by more than 4 goals, we ask that you communicate with the other coach and use methods to avoid increasing an unbalanced score. The team that is scoring easily could put it's strongest player on the team that is struggling, or a stronger team could position it's most skillful players in the defense to avoid running up the score. Please remember that the players in this age group are 4-5 years old and we want their first experiences with soccer to be FUN!
