How
The teams play on 1/4 of a standard pitch with small goals.
Games are 20 minutes long with 2 games played each morning. There is a 5 minute break between games.
The games are played with a size 4 soccer ball.
Rules
-
There are no offsides.
-
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. If a team has three or more players than the opposition, then you balance them as fairly as possible.
-
Refereeing is undertaken by the team coaches, both on the field at the same time. Referees do more encouraging than refereeing. The referee's decision is final.
-
At this level throw-ins and corners are taken.
-
For goal kicks the player kicks the ball out of his/her hands.
-
Foul throws are not penalised and play continues.
-
Free kicks are awarded for offences such as pushing, tripping or holding another player.
-
Handball is only penalised if blatant and intentional.
-
Bad language or dissent is not tolerated.
-
Parents are not allowed to stand behind the goals or directly alongside. Leave a good 2 metre gap between spectators and the goalposts.
-
The club does not tolerate dirty play or poor sports - this includes parents and supporters.
Teams
Each team has 7 members.
Where possible we put friends in the same team but cannot guarantee this.
Season
The first game is on Saturday 10 May. The last game and gala day, with rides and activities for the kids, is on Saturday 6 September. We play the first Saturday of the school holidays, but not the middle or last Saturday (i.e. no game on Saturday 12th or 19th July. The Mothers Day is on Saturday 2nd June). |
Coaching
Players have no formal team coaching organised by the club. The team coach may choose to organise training sessions, but he/she is not obliged to. Players are encouraged to enroll in the “Soccer Stars” coaching program (see details on the registration page).
Uniforms
Players need their own
All available from Champs Sports, Panmure.
Remember to ask for your Club members discount. |
Parental involvement
Each team needs a coach and a manager. During the game each team has a coach on the pitch refereeing the game. 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.
Cost
Playing up a grade
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.
