| • U-8 will be 7v7. Coaches are permitted on the field.
o Delran v Delran U8 games will have the option to go 9v9 at the agreement of both coaches
• U-12 will now be 9v9.
• We added "no heading the ball". Except in the U-14s
o Purposely heading the ball will result in an indirect kick for the opposing team.
• U-8 & U-10 games will be played with 4/15 minute quarters. (90 second break between 1st quarter & 2nd quarter and 3rd quarter and 4th quarter). U-12 & U14 games will be played with 2- 30 minute halves. Teams will change ends at the half.
• No player in any age bracket will be able to play with framed glasses unless the referee believes them to be safe. A REFEREE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE A PLAYER TO REMOVE ANY ARTICLE OF CLOTHING HE/SHE DEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS TO THAT PLAYER OR TO OTHER PLAYERS ON THE FIELD. Players with casts or other protective gear may play at the referee’s discretion. Goalies may NOT wear hard casts of any sort, covered or not. The referees and the coaches will enforce this for safety reasons.
o If a player is seen wearing any jewelry once the game starts, the player will be removed from the game.
• ONCE A TEAM HAS A 4 GOAL LEAD, AT LEAST ONE PLAYER MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE FIELD. PLEASE BE DISCRETE ABOUT THIS. AGAIN, PLEASE SHOW SPORTSMANSHIP ON THE FIELD.
• FOUR (4) COACHES MAX ON THE TEAM SIDELINE.
• Rainouts: Please contact the other team ASAP and also contact your referee coordinator. Referee should be contacted at least 75 minutes before the start of the game or he/she will be paid the full fee. Upon hearing thunder or seeing lightning, the referee suspends play for a minimum of 30 minutes. Each new incidence of thunder or lightning restarts the 30-minute period. If the thunder or lightning happens before the game is supposed to start, the starting time is delayed. No game may be delayed by more than 45 minutes*. Once a game is either delayed by 45 minutes or is forced to (such as for a lightning sighting 20 minutes after the first), the game is abandoned. (Referee entitled to fee.) The timer then picks up from where it left off for the next game.
o If the referee wishes to do so, he can waive the 45-minute requirement and wait out the storm with the teams. If he has travel games or other commitments, he is not required to do so.
