Season & roster
2Build the lineup
Rotates every player through the field so bench time is shared evenly across the game.
✓Before kickoff
Walk the line once. Takes a minute and it is the part nobody remembers.
3Practice plan
Keep it short and busy — 60 minutes, as many touches per kid as you can fit, minimal standing in line. Add drills from the Drill Library, set the minutes, reorder with the ↑ ↓ buttons.
4Drill library
Age-appropriate drills for 6–7 year olds. Every one keeps kids touching the ball. Filter by what you want to work on, then + Add to your practice plan.

5Rules & conduct — BU5
The short card for the BU5 side. ⚠ Region 630's BU5 specifics are not in the U8 guide — confirm periods, players on the field and period length before the first game.
The format
- No goalkeepers. Nobody handles the ball.
- Small-sided, size 3 ball. Shin guards under the socks, no jewellery.
- Everyone plays — the builder shares time evenly, same as U8.
Coaching
- They are four and five: fun first, one instruction at a time, water often.
- Cheer, don't criticise. Parents: one voice, a yard back from the line.
5Rules & conduct
The reference half of the Region 630 U8 guide — the parts the app does not do for you. Nothing here has settings; it is here so you can check it on a Saturday morning.
In play
- Goalkeeper may not punt. Roll or throw it out, or place it down and play it with the feet.
- Once the keeper places the ball on the ground, they may not pick it up again.
- Hands only inside the box — outside it the keeper is an ordinary player.
- Throw-in: both hands, ball starts behind the head, both feet stay on the ground. Coach the technique, don't just re-take it.
- Corner kicks: opponents stay 5 yards back.
- Goal kicks: opponents retreat to the halfway line.
- Every player keeps for a quarter, maximum one quarter each.
- No referee for the match ⇒ no goalkeeper for that match.
Playing time
- Everyone plays at least 3 of 4 quarters before anyone plays a 4th.
- One player may sit 2 quarters in a game — rotate that responsibility across games. The lineup builder now tracks this for you.
- Safety and injury substitutions are allowed at any time, and the player may return in the same quarter.
Timing
- Two 20-minute halves, played as four 10-minute quarters.
- Substitution break mid-half: 2–3 minutes.
- Halftime: 5 minutes, 10 on a hot day.
- Start on time. Warm up before the start time, not into it.
Coaching on game day
- Stay on the sideline. Not behind the goals.
- Do not run onto the field.
- Teach; don't criticise. They are seven.
- If one team is running away with it (say 5–0), reduce the dominant team's players on the field. Game Day will nudge you.
Parents
- Hold a pre-season meeting and share the AYSO behaviour guidelines.
- Cheer, don't coach — the kids can only follow one voice.
- Pick one sideline spot and stay about a yard back from the line.
Referees
- Each team supplies 5 centre referees in Fall, 4 in Spring.
- 8U referee training is required for all coaches and team referees.
Equipment
- Shin guards, worn under the socks. Cleats. Size 3 ball.
- No jewellery or watches — removed, not taped over.
Field
- 6v6 with keeper.
- Goals 12 × 6, field 50 × 40, as written in the guide. The units are almost certainly yards — 50 feet would be shorter than a six-yard box. Worth confirming with Region 630.
