| To enhance the
development of our young players, the league has implemented the
following rules to be followed during all league matches: |

U09 & U10 |
On an opposing teams goal kick,
the defending team must drop back to the center line.
|
The purpose of this rule is to
encourage the attacking team to play the ball out of the
defensive end. Once the goal kick has been executed the
defending team is allowed to pressure the ball. |
|
U09 & U10 |
Any keeper punts that cross the
center line, will result in an indirect free kick
from the center line for the opposing team. |
The purpose of this rules is to
encourage goal keepers to distribute the ball to their team, as
opposed to punting it to the other end of the field. |
|
U09 & U10 |
The offsides rule is enforced. |
|

The home team is responsible for
all referee assignments and fees for each game. |
Each league has a different
process for assigning and paying referees. So, we will
make the management of the referees the home team's
responsibility. Once again, this is just for league games. |
