10U DIVISION

Games are normally played 7 players Vs 7 players.
Team winning coin toss can choose side or to kickoff in the first half.
A team must have a minimum of 5 available players to count as a game. Else, you should still allow them to play as a scrimmage.
A size 4 ball is used for 10U games. Ball is normally provided by the home team. If not available, check with the away team.
No deliberate heading. Violation is IFK to opposing team. Also, warn the player to avoid playing with the head.
Games involve 2 x 25min halves with substitution at the quarters i.e. around 12.5th, halftime & 37.5th min. Note the game clock runs and hence a quick substitution/water break is desired.
At Area tournament, the duration maybe different. For 2019 Area tournament, it is 2 x 15min halves with substitution at the half. For Sunday games at the Area tournament, if the game is tied at regulation, substitution can be done prior to KFTM.
Goal keeper can NOT punt or drop kick the ball. Rule is to restart with IFK in case of violation but use referee judgement.
A Build Out line, equidistant from halfway line and the penalty area line, will be used. If line does not exist, flat cones can be placed for identification.
If the Goal keeper has possession of the ball (her/his hands), opponents must retreat behind build out line. Violation can be penalized with IFK for defending team at BOL.
Following possession of the ball with hand, the Goal keeper can throw, roll or pass the ball to a team mate.
The 6 second goal keeper possession will start after opponents retreat behind build out line. We normally will not enforce this in small sided games anyway.
On Goal Kicks, opponents must retreat behind build out line.They can cross BOL once the ball is kicked and clearly moves.
An attacker is NOT in an offside position if they have not crossed the build out line.
Early on during the season, referees may have to guide both attacking and defending players in executing the rule changes.
