Question:
I am going to be reffing my first game on Saturday. It is a u8 game. Is it true that u8s don’t play with offsides? Thanks for the help.
USSF answer (April 23, 2009):
According to the USYS rules for U8 small-sided soccer, there is no offside at the U8 level.
You will have to check the local rules of competition — what the league your are refereeing in wants to have called (or not) — to know for sure what to do in the game you will be working.
