Question Number: 16585League Specific 9/7/2007RE: Red Under 9 Josh May of BA, Ok US asks...What are the differences in Under 8 games, I need an answer ASAP Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol The players are a whole lot smaller, and easy to squash. Watch where you're running. Might not be wise to back-pedal.
As for rule modifications, these are so many variations of the game at that age, we would have no way of guessing. You need to find out from the league. Your assignor should be able to tell you.
I fear, however, that because you ask for a quick answer, you realized today (on Friday) that you don't know what to do in the U8 game this weekend (Saturday or Sunday). Hopefully you won't have made a hash of things.
