Questions coaches ask
How many substitutions are allowed in grassroots football?
Most youth football uses rolling (return) substitutions: players can go off and come back on as often as you like, at a stoppage, with the referee's permission. Older age groups and some competitions limit substitutions, so check your league's rules.
How do I give every player equal playing time?
Divide the total pitch time by the number of rotating players. Pick the format and match length here, list your squad, and the planner rotates players at each sub window so nobody plays more than one window longer than anyone else.
What about U7 3v3 with no substitutes?
In England's Future Fit 3v3 there are no subs within a game. Instead you play several short 6 to 10 minute games. Choose U7 and the planner builds a game rota so everyone plays a fair share across the session.
