SOURCES & EDITORIAL APPROACH

Useful on the field.
Clear about the source.

ToopTime is an independent soccer learning companion for volunteer coaches, developing referees, players, and families.

What we publish

Our library combines practical activity suggestions, complete practice plans, formation starting points, and introductions to match rules. The aim is to help you prepare for the next session and find the relevant official source when a rule matters.

How the content is prepared

The initial library was developed with AI assistance and checked for structure, internal consistency, links, and alignment with the cited rule sources. It has not received independent review by a qualified coach or referee, and the activities have not been field-tested by ToopTime. We do not claim federation approval, coaching accreditation, or referee certification.

Rules and local differences

Rule explanations link to the relevant IFAB Law. Some introductory age-group guides also describe U.S. Soccer’s published 2017 small-sided baseline and identify it as such. Your competition’s current handbook determines the adopted edition, eligibility, and permitted youth modifications. A national introduction cannot settle every league-specific question.

Activities and formations

Field dimensions, durations, progressions, and tactical observations are suggested starting points, not official standards or claims of proven results. Adapt them to ability, attendance, space, equipment, and conditions. Use qualified instruction for advanced techniques and your organization’s procedures for safety and safeguarding.

Corrections and feedback

Use Give us feedback to identify the page, explain the problem, and include an official source when reporting a rule issue. Please do not include children’s names, contact details, medical information, or team passwords. Feedback is stored privately and assessed with an AI service. It is not posted publicly.

Automatic improvements are limited to validated search terms that help visitors find existing resources. New content, rule corrections, feature changes, and changes involving private data are saved for further review. AI assessment does not by itself establish that a claim is correct.

Publication dates

Each resource shows the date its content was prepared or substantively updated. A page appearing in the sitemap does not mean a search engine has indexed it or endorsed its contents.
