u9/u10 : 7v7 Game days

Coaches and Families,
​

Please review these important elements of our U9/U10 game days and programming. Parents of U9 families and newer U10 families may not understand why we play with modified rules: 

​Game Length : 60 minutes : 2x30 minutes
​

1. There is NO intentional heading allowed
2. We DO NOT post scores for these age groups
3. The keeper cannot dropkick or punt the ball.
4. The Midfield line will serve as the "BuildOut'' Line for all NECSL 7v7 games.
  • Goal kicks opposition retreats to midfield
​5. Offside is in effect and enforced following the IFAB Laws of the Game. 
5. Field Dimensions: Length: 55-65 Yards | Width: 35-45 Yards
6. Maximum Goal Sizes: Height: 6.5 Feet | Width: 18.5 Feet
​
This information has been shared with our referee assignor. We recommend and encourage all U9/U10 coaches to engage in a pregame conversation to discuss the modified rules prior to each game
