Yes. There is a minimum play rule in all age groups except for the 17U age group and Rec Plus teams. During the first three quarters of the game, each child will play at least half of the quarter. At the three-minute mark of each of the first three quarters, the horn will sound to stop play and all substitutes will enter the game. During the fourth quarter, substitutions may be made at the discretion of the coach.
