WBGT is an estimated Wet Bulb Globe Temperature from air temp and humidity at kickoff — a heat-stress gauge that doesn’t account for direct sun or wind, so treat it as a starting point, not an official reading. Venue coordinates are approximate.
How We Play
Tactics
Nine players: keeper, two center backs, a right back who can step into midfield, two central midfielders, two wingers, and a striker.
Starting shape

Positions
Building out from the back
- Keeper has it. Center backs split wide and the right back steps up into midfield.
- Wingers and striker stretch the field so the opponent can’t squeeze the middle.
- Pass to the side first. Keeper → left center back, then into the defending CM on the half-turn.
- Switch the field. The defending CM finds the right back, who has time and space in midfield.
- Attack the space. Right back → attacking CM, then pass, cross, or shoot with the wingers and striker running.
Players and passes in the animation are an illustration of the pattern, not a fixed script — read the opponent’s press and use the open side.

League Rules
PPIL · Plano Premier Invitational League · U11 Division (9v9)
- Format. 9v9 — eight field players plus a goalkeeper, on an 80x50 yard field. Roster max is 16, though a coach may cap it at 10.
- Playing up. An 11U roster may carry up to three underage (9-year-old) players playing up; no more than three 10U players may dress on any game-day roster.
- Game clock. Two 30-minute halves with a 5-minute halftime for this age group.
- Subs. Free, unlimited substitutions in every age group.
- Jerseys. Home team wears a kit that’s predominantly white or light-colored; the visiting team wears a contrasting color. If both teams show up in white, the visiting team changes.
- Standings. 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss. Ties break by head-to-head, then goal differential, then most goals scored, then fewest card points, then penalty kicks.
- Weather. Only a referee or league official can call a game. If a game is stopped before halftime it’s replayed in full; if the first half is complete, it counts as a finished game.
