Girls 2013 (U8) SCHEDULE
We are delighted to be kicking off the Spring Season on Saturday April 17th. The Season will run until Saturday June 5th. The Games/Practice Sessions will be played at
Marina Hills Upper starting at 8:30am. Match Duration: 40 minutes (4x10); 10 minute break after 2 quarters; a short water break/substitution break at 10 minutes.
Referee: A coach or knowledgeable parent shall ‘referee’. Home team shall referee the first half; the visiting team shall referee the second half. Coaches are not on the field during a match – they should stay on the sideline, near the center-line of the field.
Penalties/Fouls/Offside: Penalties/fouls called, including intentional handling of the ball. Offside should not be called, but do not plant an attacking player in front of the goal. The penalty mark is 8 yards away from the midpoint of the goalposts. Referees on the field should look for ‘coachable moments’ and explain in a positive instructive way why certain calls are being made.
Heading: No deliberate heading is allowed. If deliberate heading occurs, the referee shall award an indirect free kick to the opposing team from the spot of the offense.
Recreational Coaches and Volunteers will be present on the field to assist with the general flow of the game. Emphasis will be on implementing soccer skills learned in Skills Clinics with assistance of recreational coaches.
Things to Know about the weekly sessions:
(1) Parents please arrive 5-10 minutes before 8:30am to check-in at the field desk. Players should then join their coaches on one of the small-fields (marked out by cones on the main field) .
(2) We ask that only Coaches and players meet on the field and that parents line up along the outside of the field in a socially distanced way (6 feet apart)
(3) Parents please follow all of the session guidelines so you are aware of the on field protocols to be followed during the mini-kicker training sessions.
