NCAA proposed rule change...Separate yet separate

[MD Longhorn]

Not sure what soccer you've been watching. Every league my kid was in, from 4 to 12, the rules changed every single year.

Our kids soccer clubs around here, and all over Oregon as AFAIK, use FIFA game rules. They do have different size fields and lengths of games and sometimes add minor modifications (slide tackles are not permitted at the younger rec levels) but the base rule book is the FIFA book. If your area is doing something different, it isn't because they need to, just that someone wants to.

You could say the same for Pop Warner or Bill George Football. They use NF rules but modify rules for "striper rules" or other rules do not and should not apply to kids below high school ages.
