Water Breaks are allowed at the
discretion of the referee per current FYSA water break policy.

Any Coach must

7. It is the responsibility of the winning coach to do everything in
his/her power to control the goal differential. When the goal
differential reaches five goals the coach that is ahead will pull one
player from the field. If the score continues to climb the coach is
expected to place additional restrictions on the players to control the
score of the game. If the losing team begins to diminish the 5 goal
differential, the coach that is ahead may make appropriate adjustments.
In no cases will this rule require a team to play with less than the
minimum number of players required for the age group.

If the goal differential reaches ten goals in the second half, including
the start of the second half, the game will be called and the score at
that time will be reported as the final score.
