Question Number: 16993Law 7 - Match Duration 9/30/2007RE: select Under 11 Christa of maple ridge, b.c. canada asks...I was wondering if soccer has time outs? Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson Hi Christa,
as a rule 11 aside regulation soccer has only a half time interval of 15 minutes duration. In mini soccer I know some leagues have 3 aside, 5 aside etc. with quarters so 3 respites. I am not aware of timeouts even at the mini level but as Ref Voshol points out substitute breaks might be the same thing? Usually at a stoppage there is time to get a few points across. Often coaches are on the field in the younger kids mini games as well
Cheers

View Referee Richard Dawson profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol At some younger ages, leagues play quarters instead of halves. Midway in each half play is stopped so substitutions can be made. I suppose that might be considered a time out.
But time outs as in other team sports, at the request of a player of coach? No.
