(+) The Minimum Team Size is the fewest number of players required for a legal game. Fewer than this number of players results in a forfeit.
(++) Table indicates the total minutes in a game. All games consist of two halves equally split.
(*) Goal sizes may vary in 10U and 12U.
(**) All 6U-8U games consist of a pair of side-by-side simultaneous games, each utilizing half of the players, typically 4 players on a side.
Field setup
The field sizes are set out in the AYSO National Rules and Regulations. Region 13 mostly uses these sizes
Length (yd) | Width (yd) | Goal size (ft) | Locations | |
6U | 30 | 25 | 3 x 4 (max 4 x 6) | Victory, FIS, JR |
7U | 40 | 27 | 4 x 6 | MacDonald, LDS |
8U | 45 – 50 | 30 | 4 x 6 | FIS, Victory, PCY, JR |
10U | 55 – 65 63 |
35 – 45 45 |
6.5 x 12 (max 6.5 x 18.5) | Victory, Muir, Brookside |
12U | 80 | 45 – 55 | 6.5 x 18.5 (max 7 x 21) | Victory, Muir, McKinley |
14U | 100 – 130 | 50 – 100 | 8 x 24 | McKinley, Blair |
16U | ||||
19U |
The 7U fields at LDS are 42 x 30. I think they’re a little too big for that age, and 40 x 27, like at MacDonald would be better. Or maybe even a little smaller.
The back 8U fields at Victory are 45 yards long. The rest are 50 yards long.
10U fields at Brookside are 44 yards wide.
