In line with the FA Standard Code of Rules for 2016/17 – Rule 10(A) Match durations will be as the attached document.

North Riding County FA will sanction all ‘friendly fixtures’ played after league ‘development games’ at mini-soccer age without the need for clubs to contact County FA individually.
Any second game will be sanctioned and club’s players will be insured to play in these games as long as the following requirements are met:

• All players should be members of the club.

• The second, ‘friendly fixture’, should take place between the same two clubs that competed in the ‘league development game’ prior.

• Clubs must adhere to FA Rules on the maximum number of minutes to be played in one day by young players (40 minutes at U7&U8, 60 minutes at U9&U10).

• There is no requirement by the league to report results for ‘friendly fixtures’

For clarification, there is no need for clubs to contact North Riding County FA on a weekly basis seeking sanction for the second, ‘friendly fixture’.
