U11 for the first time

[Sillygoose12]

Just found out I've been assigned an U11 match this weekend, having only done U12-14 up to this point.
What sort of things should I be aware of before the game (rule changes/procedures) etc.

It’s no different to U12s, in that it’s 9 a-side with offside.

Depending on your location and league, some U11's are part of the FA's "no heading" trial. Might be worth checking competition rules prior to the day to satisfy yourself one way or another.

https://www.thefa.com/-/media/cfa/h...e-for-match-officials-inforgraphic.ashx?la=en will help, but local competition rules may vary, so as @Hendo has said, read them before match day.
