- Game time for U12’s-U21’s – The Club encourages the participation of all players of our Club for their enjoyment and development as players in a team environment.

In this regard, Coaches are encouraged to give each player a reasonable amount of game time throughout the season. As a guide, each player should be given the opportunity to play a minimum of one third (1/3) of the available game time each week.
