Will my child get equal playing time?

That is what the guidelines recommend:

• Ages 7-8: equal playing time for every player throughout the whole game.
• Ages 9-11: equal playing time in periods 1-3. In the fourth period and any overtime, playing time is at the coach's discretion.

The aim is that every child gets a real chance to experience the game, with competitive decisions introduced gradually from age 9. Equal and fair playing time is encouraged at every age.
