Playing Time

• It is MU’s policy that participants at 8U-11U and all Tango players will get a chance to play multiple positions and will generally get equal time in games over the course of the season.
• Player development is the focus at these levels of play.
• Coaches can reduce playing times for reasons such as the following:
  • Missing or disrupting practices
  • Tardiness to practice
  • Failure to notify coaches in advance regarding absences from practices or games
  • Failure to follow coaches directions
• At 12U and up at the Academy, Premier, Copa & Samba levels, coaches have discretion to field the most competitive team (playing time and position). When and where a player plays is strictly up to the coach.

• 11U and 12U teams play 9v9 and roster 12-16 players.
• 13U - 15U teams play 11v11 and roster 16-18 players.
