Mini Round Robin Games

MINI ROUND ROBIN GAMES

Mini Round Robin Game Procedures

Instead of scheduling double headers or by weeks for teams when an odd number of team is available, we typically choose to use a Mini Round Robin. This is when three teams play a round robin of three half-time games. This allows all three teams to play what adds up to be one full game. In these procedures, each game of a mini-round robin games is called a mini-game. 

Coin Toss - Only one coin toss before the first mini-game is needed. See the examples below. 

Substitution Breaks - There will be only one substitution break about half way for each mini-game. 

Line-Up Cards - There should be a line-up card for each team. Teams should mark their substitutions for both of their halves (just like a normal game). The only difference will be that they have two different opponents. This means it is possible that a player may not play at all in one of the mini-games (since each mini-game is a half). If coaches choose to use two line-up cards, make sure they indicate first or second mini-game. All players should play AT LEAST one half (two quarters for games with quarters) between the two mini-games they play. Regions may require more. 

Equipment Check - Check both team's equipment before the first mini-game. Only need to check the third team's equipment before the second mini-game. No need for equipment check before the third mini-game.

-- Team A kicks off attacking the South goal @ 10:00am
-- Substitution break at approximately 10:15am (preferably at a normal game stoppage) for 1-2 minutes (this should be a        short break)
-- Mini-Game 1 ends at approximately 10:32am (the half should be 30 minutes long)


Mini-Game 2:

-- Team B kicks off attacking the South goal at 10:40am
-- Substitution break at approximately 10:55am (preferably at a normal game stoppage) for 1-2 minutes (this should be a        short break)

First Two Weeks

The first two weeks will be used to form teams while having age group practices with jamboree games on Saturdays. 

Teams will be formed

Players are to show up at the listed fields at during the specified times for their group practices.  These practices are Monday - Friday.  Players are not required to attend every practice.  You may go to only one a week or attend as many as you can.  This will be a great opportunity for the players to work on their foot skills and play in small sided games.
