BEST PRACTICES


Coaches may substitute several players at once to share playing time equally.


It is crucial that girls learn all positions and have the opportunity to play all of them in game situations.


All players on all teams should be within their age group designation and not play up a level.


PERSPECTIVES


P Teach kids to be encouraging of all teammates, regardless of skill level.


P Being part of a team helps girls learn important life skills like cooperation, patience and teamwork.


TEAM


If a team receives a yellow or red card, there will be fewer than 12 players on the field during the penalty time except at the U9 and U11 levels.


C Because midfielders are involved with play all over the field, they will need substitutions more often.


O Violations of rules and penalties should be explained when appropriate, especially at younger levels.
