Guidelines for 7U & 8U Games

1.  The games will consist of two 20 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime. The coaches should time the games. This timing allows for both teams to run a warm-up prior to the start of the game. Please try to be on time so each player can be a part of the warm-up and pre-game talk from their coach. Coaches should use their pop-up (pugg) goals for the games. A size 4 soccer ball should be used.

2.  These age groups play games with 4 on a side, and two fields playing at the same time. Players should be given equal playing time and not be limited to playing in a certain position. There are NO goalies at this age. One group of one team should switch fields at halftime, so the players can play against others.

3.  These age groups will play with kick-ins, goal kicks, and corner kicks. Coaches can be on the field and should cooperate as refs and coaches. 

4.   There should be no one standing behind the goal line. Unless a coach has asked you to chase balls back there.

5.  All players should be wearing their team jersey, proper footwear (soccer cleats or athletic shoes), and shin guards that are covered by socks. No jewelry should be worn during a game. You are not allowed to use bandaids to cover earrings.

6.  No food is allowed on the field.

7.  All spectators should allow the coaches to coach. Please cheer for the team in a positive manner.
