Substitution Rules for Area Cup

U10: Each player must play a minimum of two quarters. Keepers can only play keeper for two quarters and then must play one quarter in the field. (Regions that have a three quarter minimum can opt to remain with this system but referees will only be checking for the two-quarter minimum.)

U12-U14: Two quarter minimum. U12 Keepers who play three quarters as keeper must play one quarter in the field. U14 division has no limit on how many quarters a keeper may play that position. (Regions with three quarter minimum for players can opt to remain with this system but referees will only be checking for the two-quarter minimum.)

Referees will be instructed to allow one minute for the substitute breaks and then one minute for lost time to their watches for the next period in U10s and U12s so each half will be 22 minutes running clock. U14s will have a 1 minute running clock for substitutions so each half will be 31 minutes running clock. Halftime breaks for all divisions will be 5 minutes. To avoid lost playing time coaches should be instructed to have their substitutes planned out and to make the changes quickly. These are not “coaching” breaks.
