I hope SCDSL changes their sub rules for 05 and older. (05 plays 35 minute half’s. 04 and 03 play 40 minutes. Older is full 45)
Currently- if you come off in the 1st half, you can’t re-enter until the 2nd half.
In the 2nd half- if you sub off- you can come back on once.
I understand that soccer is a game (at the pro level) that requires a player to learn how to pace themselves for 90+ minutes.
12 year olds playing in SCDSL are not the same as 25 year olds playing in the EPL (or even MLS).
If a kid is coming off of an injury- it’s nice to ease them back in with frequent subs to check on how they are doing.
If a team has a short roster and it’s hot out- it’s nice to rotate with 1 or 2 subs to keep kids from wearing out.
If your team has made their subs in the 1st half, but a player gets hurt- you can’t sub on a player who has already come off during that half.
If the league is “developmental”- why does this rule exist?
Coast Soccer Lesgue has no restrictions on substitutions- only that “excessive substitutions resulting in confusion or delay of the game are to be discouraged by the referee”.
Any rules you’d like to see changed?
