Mini and mid-size soccer is soccer for children The goal is to attempt to put the game into perspective and to make the soccer experience as wholesome as possible for Canadian children. It is not merely a set of rules, but also a philosophy or approach that emphasizes participation, action, skill development, effort, cooperation, friendship, fair play, enjoyment, moderate competition, positive adult behaviour. The rule differences between Mini/Mid-size soccer and regulation play relate to size of the field, size of the ball, goal areas, number of players, duration of play, and elimination of offside.
