Each coach chooses their small-sided game. U12 stations are outfield-only; U13 coaches include their assigned goalkeepers. Groups stay together through all three rounds.
U12 goalkeepers join for the final games only and are not included in station groups. U13 goalkeepers rotate through all three stations with their assigned groups; alternate in goal when two keepers share a group.
