U12 Winter Soccer Guidelines
1. Location. U12 games will be at Silver Spur.
2. Referees. The Home Team is responsible for supplying a referee
for the game. The Home Team is the first team listed in the time
slot (i.e. Home v Visitor). If there is a referee volunteer from the
visiting team, that is ok too. Coaches can referee the games if they
wish.
3. Game length. Each game consists of four quarters of 12 ˝ minutes
in length. A five minute break between quarters and a 7-10 minute
half time break is reasonable for each game.
4. Game Start. Please start your games promptly so as to not disrupt
the day’s schedule.
5. Set-Up. Both teams listed for the first game of the day are
responsible for setting up the fields for the day. This includes
having the goals and nets set, lines painted and corner flags posted
10 minutes prior to the start of the first match.
6. Number of players. U12 games will be 8 field players plus a
goalie. If there is room on the field and both coaches agree, field
players can be increased to 9 (this maximizes the child’s time in
the game.
7. Substitutions. Please rotate your subs every game. Every child
must play at least 3 quarters in each game. Make your substitutions
at the quarter and half breaks, unless an injury requires you to
substitute a player during a quarter.
8. General rules – Referees. Safety is comes first. Rough play will
not be allowed. Penalty kicks in the box are allowed for U12. Drop
balls are not allowed (in the event one is needed, have one of teams
take a throw in near the mid-field line). In the event of a bad
throw-in, the other team takes the throw in. We do play off-sides
officially in U12.
