Substitutions:
1. Either team may substitute at any stoppage of play, with the referee's permission. (this is FIFA)
2. When a player has been cautioned – recommended but not required - this would be a good teaching moment.
3. Substituted players may return to play in the game.
4. There is no substitution limitation.
* Guest Players: It is permissible for players, within a club, to "guest" with another team of the same age group, or even to play up for their club’s higher age group team. Guesting down is not permitted. Guest players must bring their validated player pass, and must be identified and noted on the game cards.
** Sliding & Slide Tackling is a part of the game and is permitted. FIFA laws do not prohibit slide tackles. The Laws of the Game describe fouls that involve tripping, kicking, and dangerous play. Coaches should take care to teach players the difference between a clean tackle of the ball, versus a careless or reckless tackle of the body that will result in a foul and possible issuance of a yellow or red card.
*** The "Pass-Back Rule" refers to a field player kicking the ball back to the goal keeper deliberately. If a referee determines that a player has intentionally kicked the ball back to the goal keeper, who handles the ball with their hands, it is a foul and will result in an IFK at the spot of the foul (unless in the goal area - the ball is then placed on the 6). In other words, a player cannot intentionally kick the ball back to their own goal keeper and have the GK pick the ball up with their hands. Unintentional deflections do not count as intentional. The referee's opinion is what counts in this situation, not the spectators!
Severe Weather: If lightning is seen or thunder heard, then the threat is present and the game must be immediately suspended until the severe weather clears the area. The game may not be resumed until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard or lightning is seen. It is the referee’s discretion how long to wait or call a game. Adult coaches should confer and assist the youth referees when making this decision (how long to wait). Use common sense!
