Standard FIFA except substitutions half way through each half and at half time, no offside (U7 only), no indirect free kicks (only direct free kicks), no penalty kicks - goals are not recorded, no standings are kept. In U8 a modified offside rule is implemented to begin to teach players, coaches, referees, and parents the offside law. Instead of a penalty area, a single line at 14 yrds is drawn all the way across the field. Attacking players may not enter this area, between this line and the goal line, before the ball enters. When an attacking player enters this area before the ball does, an offside violation has occured. This modified law is meant to be instructional at this level of play to prepare players for the standard offside law used in the next division and both coaches and referees should understand the intent of this modification in enforcing it. |
