MWFA TEAM NUMBERS GUIDE

In order to ensure all players in teams in the U6 to U11 non-competitive age groups get reasonable playing time, MWFA recommends limits be placed on the number of players registered in a team.

The recommended range strikes a balance between having enough players to allow for absences but not so many as to significantly impact playing time. The recommended maximum ensures that, on average, every player will play around three quarters of a game, every game. Additional players quickly reduce the on-field time of all the players.

U12 to U18 Players on Field: 11 | Minimum Team Size: 13 | Maximum Team Size: 16
