    How do substitution rules work in GDA?

    Are the three SUB points in a game pre-determined times? Our dd will be playing DA but am having doubts regarding playing time. For context- she is not a starter.

    Hate to burst your bubble but if she isn't a starter whey is she doing DA? DA is good for starters. Can be really cra**y for bench warmers.

      Stupid advice.

      Do you expect the team to carry 11 players only?

        2. Substitutions: All U-15/16 and U-17/18 Academy games will have a maximum of five (5) substitutions per game with no re-entry across three “opportunities”. U-13, U-14 Academy games will have a maximum of seven (7) substitutions per game with no re-entry across three “opportunities”. The
        U-12 Academy games will have unlimited substitutions with re-entry.

        3. Substitutions are allowed at any stoppage

          Is it at the discretion of the coach when those 3 opportunity (stoppage) points are?

            Yes. Could be 5 minutes in or 80 minutes in... or anywhere between.

              Sucks to suit up and play garbage minutes or not play at all.

                Yes and once subbed that's it. It does not restart in the second half.

                  Any boys DA parents on this board? At the end of the day GDA girls want to play in college. These sub rules more than the high school soccer ban will make it tougher for players 8-16 to get any meaningful playing time when playing at showcases. DA coaches still want to win. Not only that, starters get used to how their teammates play. When you start subbing in 2 players here and there, the flow gets out of sync. My guess, if players are not performing great a couple might be pulled at half but watch for most the other dubs get pulled at the end of the game. Same goes with 25% time starts. If you are on the bottom of the roster and start, you'll probably be pulled before the half.

                    100% accurate. Great for starters. Terrible for kids at the low end of the roster. At the older ages, the strong subs will play 1/2 and the weaker ones will get very few minutes. Boys have started with relegation, so winning matters. DA kids with little playing time tend to leave because the college opportunities aren't there. All the stats are published.

                      Just ask your coach. It is that simple. Every coach is different and the approach is not the same.

                        With the limited rules you very well won't get much PT, especially past player #14-15. Guaranteed starts isn't the same as guaranteed time. Coach can start you and then yank you after 5 minutes. Ask BDA parents who it works in the older ages. At least with the younger ages there's more allowed.

                        not the poster

                          And if you're bottom of the roster the coach will save your starts for the easiest games, then probably pull you quickly anyway. Clubs and coaches still want the wins so they make playoffs and continue to attract talent. When there's only 1 game/week and you could go weeks without playing a game, guess how you'll do once you finally get PT and are stressed out about doing well? Agree with above - DA is good if you're in the top 16 or so. After that you might want to reconsider other options.

                              Top 16? That's being generous. Coaches build teams around core players. 1-6 will play 100%. Everyone else rotates in to various degrees. 7-11 will get decent minutes. 12 and higher,
                              minimsl unless there are injuries.
