Substitutions

This substitution system is designed to provide every player equal opportunity for improvement. The substitution system ensures that:

• Every child will play at least half of the game.
• No child will sit out more than six minutes at a time.
• Every child will have an opportunity to be in the starting lineup.
• In most cases, each child will play against someone of equal ability.
• Coaches are not open to making unfair substitutions or being accused of such.
• Coaches are free from monitoring playing time for each player.
• Playing time for all players is virtually even over the course of the season.
