Equal Playing time Equation example:
Total number of Minutes available (game length x total positions)
50mins x 7 positions = 350 mins
350 minus the Goalkeepers minutes (350-50) = 300 mins
300 divided by the total number of available players (10).
300 divide by 10 = 30.
Each outfield player will play 30 minutes of the game.
All squad numbers are including not including Goalkeepers in minutes or team numbers Example: 5 A SIDE – 5 Players (Goalkeeper Plus 5 Players) = 32 Minutes each
5 A SIDE: (40-Minute Game)
5 Players (1 Sub) – 32 Mins each
6 Players (2 Subs) – 27 Mins each
7 Players (3 Subs) – 23 Mins each
8 Players (4 Subs) – 20 Mins each
7 A SIDE: (50-Minute Game)
7 Players (1 Sub) – 43 Mins each
8 Players (2 Subs) – 37.5 Mins each
9 Players (3 Subs) – 33 Mins each
10 Players (4 Subs) – 30 Mins each
11 Players (5 Subs) 27 Mins each
9 A SIDE: (60-Minute Game)
9 Players (1 Sub) – 53 minutes each
10 Players (2 Subs) – 48 minutes each
11 Players ( 3 Subs) – 43 minutes each
12 Players – (4 Subs) – 40 Minutes each
11 A SIDE: (80-Minute Game)
11 Players (1 Sub) – 73 minutes each
12 Players (2 Subs) – 66 minutes each
13 Players (3 Subs)- 61minutes each
14 Players (4 Subs) – 57 minutes each
15 Players (5 Subs) – 53 minutes each

Sorry for a silly question but how do you implement equal play time during the game? Working out play time is one thing but keeping track of play time during a game is another. Noob coach here 😉
I just moved from u11 to u12 ,only get 5 substitutions for entire game In our league and I have 15 kids on roster how do I calculate to attempt to make it fair
Great job, congratulations for tbe channel and keep the good work 👍
What age group do you think we should stop equal play time? That's a suggestion for another video as well. Thanks
Great idea but this is how clubs loose their best players by playing players that aren’t near the same level on the same time as better players.
I wish our coach did equal play time
Wouldn’t you also need a rate of substitutions?
Like substituting ever 7 minutes?
Love the concept,trying to explain to my parents is difficult
I go Catalan Soccer and my coach is Sam and I’m Aro I go on Wednesdays
Ok as a coach how do I keep control of time when you’re coaching the game
Who said maths isn't useful in real life
Great effort mate but truth is you're fighting losing battle ha ha
Well you timed this video perfectly. Thanks
What age group do you feel equal game time should morph into fair game time?
Another suggestion for you on getting your kids more game time. Why not play the 60 minute game. Then play an extra 20 minute development game with the same opponent? In this 20 minute game where scores don’t count in league you can try players in new positions
Your calculations are super helpful. Our team usins an app called SubTime to help us do this math and monitor the times as the game goes on. It's proven very hand for us and keeps us accountable to be sure we're doing our best, even in the heat of the game, to get the players equal time.
