Game Format |
The game is played on a small field in a 5 v 5 format with no goal keeper. Two 25-minute games are played simultaneously with substitutions occurring every five minutes. At the end of the first game there is a short break, then the away team switches sides and another 25-minute game is played. |
Team Formation
| The teams are formed with the intent of allowing the children to play with their friends and other children from their school. There are normally 12 players per team.
Please place special requests on the registration form - we try very hard to meet all requests.
