Memo: U11-U19 Outdoor Game Duration
The Saskatoon Sport Centre's "55-minute rule" for bookings is only applicable to indoor season as all indoor season bookings are booked for one hour with all age groups playing consistent 25-minute halves. Outdoor season has varying lengths of games per age group therefor the 55-minute hour is not possible to implement, and the 5-minute warm-up starts at the beginning of the scheduled game start time.
Please note that each allotted scheduled game has a 5-minute warm-up and 5-minute half-time built into the allotted time. This means official kick-off shall start 5 minutes after the scheduled start time. Dressing room keys are available 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time, and teams are to clear the field after the game or no later than their scheduled end time to make way for oncoming teams or potential field changes. If teams click on their team name in RAMP for a listing of their games, the end times are listed.
Below is a summary of the SYSI General Rules and Regulations in effect for the Outdoor 2025 season regarding game duration.
