The teams play on 1/8 of a standard pitch with small goals.
Games are 17 1/2 minutes long with 2 games played each morning. There is a 10 minute break between games.
The games are played with a size 3 soccer ball.
There are few rules.
Players are encouraged to spend as much time on the ball as possible.
There are no throw-ins, free kicks or corners.
If the ball goes out of play parents and supporters are encouraged to throw it back onto the field.
When a goal is scored any parent can throw the ball back into the middle of the field. The same applies for goal kicks.
The atmosphere is one of fun and involvement rather than competition.
All players play in the game at the same time. If one team has more players that the opposition then they can either play with a substitute, or give the opposition a player for half a game. If one team has two more players than the opposition then they must give them a player for the whole game. (This would be a different player in each half) If a team has three or more players than the opposition, then you balance them as fairly as possible.
Team coaches will be on the field to encourage players.
Bad language or bad behaviour is not tolerated.
The club does not tolerate dirty play or poor sports - this includes parents and supporters.
Each team has 5 members. Please do not request an additional member as "sub" or for any other reason. This request will be declined.
Where possible we put friends in the same team but cannot guarantee this.
Teams will be announced during the last week of the April school holidays.
The first game is on Saturday 28th April. The last game and gala day, with rides and activities for the kids, is on Saturday 1st September. We play the first Saturday of the school holidays, but not the middle or last Saturday (i.e. no game on Saturday 7th / 14th July. The "bring a friend" game is on Saturday 2nd June).
Players have no formal team coaching organised by the club. Players are encouraged to enroll in the “Soccer Stars” coaching program (see details on the registration page).
Players need their own
Each team needs a coach and a manager. During the game each team has a coach on the pitch. Other team parents are rostered to set up and take down the goals for the games and bring the half-time oranges. Parents and supporters must stand outside the main pitch lines to reduce damage to the field.

Players are encouraged to play in their correct grade however occasionally exceptions are made. Players cannot play below their age level. In the Youth grades (10th grade and up) players must play in their correct age group which is why we encourage players to slot into their correct grade as early as possible.
