TCSL follows ALL U.S. Soccer mandates.
US Soccer-published Player Development Initiatives
9U & 10U (7 v 7):
- Offside in effect between build out line and endline
- Club discretion: 1 or 3 referees
- Build out line in effect (as shown below):
- Ideally, GK waits to put ball into play once all opponents retreat behind build out line
- GK can put ball into play sooner but he/she does so accepting positioning of the opponents and the consequences of how play resumes
- No punting
- No heading
11U & 12U (9 v 9)
- No heading (11U only)
- Punting IS allowed
- There is NO build out line present at 11U or 12U
