Rules of Play
RECREATIONAL PROGRAM RULES OF PLAY
In conjunction with Florida Club League, our Recreational Youth Soccer Rules of Play are designed to ensure a fun, safe, and positive environment for all players. These rules focus on age-appropriate game formats, field sizes, and guidelines that promote player development and sportsmanship. From our youngest players in small-sided games to older participants, we aim to foster a love for the game while teaching fundamental soccer skills. All games are officiated with safety in mind, and our coaches are held to high standards, including background checks and SafeSport compliance, to ensure the well-being of every player.
COMPETITIVE PROGRAM RULES OF PLAY
Our Competitive Youth Soccer Rules of Play, in conjunction with the Florida Club League (FCL), are structured to meet the highest standards of competition while prioritizing player development, safety, and sportsmanship. These rules align with FCL guidelines and cover game formats, match durations, roster sizes, and substitution policies tailored to each age group. The rules emphasize fair play and player welfare, ensuring that all participants compete in a structured and supportive environment. Florida Elite Soccer Academy adheres to these standards to provide a top-tier competitive soccer experience for our athletes.
