TCSL follows ALL U.S. Soccer mandates.

US Soccer-published Player Development Initiatives

9U & 10U (7 v 7):

• Offside in effect between build out line and endline
• Club discretion: 1 or 3 referees
• Build out line in effect (as shown below):
  • Ideally, GK waits to put ball into play once all opponents retreat behind build out line
  • GK can put ball into play sooner but he/she does so accepting positioning of the opponents and the consequences of how play resumes

• No punting
• No heading

11U & 12U (9 v 9)

• No heading (11U only)
• Punting IS allowed
• There is NO build out line present at 11U or 12U
