King Juan Cup

Divisions

Teams are split into three size-based divisions — Tall, Grande, and Venti — with birth-year cutoffs set fresh each year. See the Archive for a given year’s exact age ranges.

Rules

• Co-ed — boys and girls play together in each age group.
• 5v5, 15-minute halves
• No goal keeper
• Small scrimmage-style POD goals
• Field defenders cannot stand or loiter within 3 feet (1 meter) of their own goal.
• 3 game minimum
• 1st & 2nd place awards

Roster Rules

• Roster minimum 5 players, maximum 8 players (because we have a cap on number of medals) 😂
• The age groups are based on calendar year. The reason is, we (organizers like Juan Wang) do not like the age group change. 😊
• Each team may roster 1 player from the older age group, for friendship/team bonding only (e.g. a friend split apart by the school-year age cutoff) — not to boost competitiveness.
• All-girls teams are welcome to move down to a lower age group for more fun, if they'd like to — just contact the organizers to arrange it.
