Special Rules for U8, U9 and U10

Special rules of competition apply to U8, U9 and U10 age groups in some leagues. Referees need to be aware of these special rules if they are assigned to one of these matches. You also need to be aware of which league you are working in for that game because the rules are different amongst the leagues we officiate. See Which League Is My Game In? Please make sure you have each league’s rules of competition with you. Links to each league can be found on the Leagues page.
