U9-U11
Soccer Maine mandates playing time for U11 and below to be at least 50% of each game for all players. This is strictly adhered to and enforced by FYSA.
U12
Playing time at U12 is not mandated by Soccer Maine, but as FYSA continues to have balanced teams at U12, the FYSA philosophy is to strive for playing time to be at least 50% for all players during the season, and the strongly suggested guideline is a minimum of 10-15 minutes per half for each player.
U13-U14
U13 and U14 are competitive age groups. Coaches will seek to play each player in every game, depending upon roster size, but the amount of playing time will be at the discretion of the coaches.
