Roster Sizes
Below is a table of the roster sizes for the current season. These standards were finalized based on the input from the Youth Members Technical Leadership Group and feedback provided by Directors of Coaching.
* 4v4 soccer is meant to be played in a less structured environment in order to maximize fun and participation; thus, players eight-years-old and younger should play without formal teams and rosters. Conducting play through in-house programs with flexible and fluid teams is the best approach.
The roster limit for 11v11 play is 22.
| Age | Game | Roster Size |
|---|---|---|
| U6 | 4v4 | No more than 6* |
| U7 | 4v4 | No more than 6* |
| U8 | 4v4 | No more than 6* |
| U9 | 7v7 | No more than 12 |
| U10 | 7v7 | No more than 12 |
| U11 | 9v9 | No more than 16 |
| U12 | 9v9 | No more than 16 |
| U13 and Up | 11v11 | No more than 22 |
