To ensure adequate development of each player, all players on a competitive team (U11-U13-U15-U17-U18) must play a cumulative minimum of 35% of the games during the season. Playing time in tournament finals will be at the discretion of the coach.
Should playing time become an issue, coaches have the responsibility to justify why a player has been played less than the above noted policies. Only injuries, sickness, unaccepted absences from training and/or games at coach’s discretion, or documented disciplinary action will be accepted as reasons for not meeting these requirements.
