  • If one team has less than 14 players, there will be a mandatory 2-minute water break at the 17 minute (15 minute for U14) mark unless the coach with the fewer players declines the break. Clock continues to run. Coaches still have the option of taking a water break (even if plenty of subs) if both coaches agree.
