SUBSTITUTIONS

  • U13-U18/U19: seven (7) substitutions maximum are allowed per half.  Players may not re-enter in the same half.
    • In the event of a head injury, the injured player may be substituted in order to be evaluated without counting toward the team’s substitution count, as long as the team has an available substitute at that time.  If the team does not have an available substitute at that time, the team must play short-handed through the evaluation period.  
  • U11-U12: unlimited substitutions.

CHECK-IN PROCEDURES

  1. Each player, coach and staff on the bench must have an ECNL passcard that is verified during the team check-in process
  2. Players designated as “Discovery Players” are tied to the age group in which they are carded and are only permitted to play for the team listed on the passcard.
