Jamboree

Recreational Jamboree Format

The purpose of the Rec Jamboree is to kick off the season and train new USSF Certified Referees on real games. Score is NOT kept and there are no standings/championships.

Each team will play 2 games (a forfeited game is counted as a game). 

Length of Games:

Age Group Times

U7/U8 2- 12 min halves 

U9/U10 2 - 15 min halves

U12 2 - 20 min halves

U14 2 - 25 min halves

*5 minute halftime for all games.

Substitutions:

Unlimited substitution as follows:

• Prior to either team’s throw-in

• Prior to either team’s goal kick

• After a goal, by either team 

• During an injury time-out, by either team

• At half time, by either team 

Limited substitution: A player presented with a caution (yellow card) may be substituted at that time, provided play has been stopped by the referee.

Guest Players:

GUEST PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE JAMBOREE TOURNAMENT. Only those listed on each team’s goldenrod and BYGA roster are permitted to play the match.

Home team: 

Provide the game balls (subject to the approval of the referees).

Wear the Home jersey (BLUE).  In the event of a color conflict, the HOME TEAM must resolve the conflict (i.e., change jersey).

Ejections:

Any player or coach who is sent off (red card) from a game will be suspended from the team’s next game, at a minimum.  Sendoffs will be reviewed by the Director of Coaching and depending on the infraction, additional penalties may be imposed and/or review by the PAD committee may be necessary.
