Reduce JV halftimes?!? What would you reduce them to-- 10 minutes to 5 minutes?? That is unfair to those players. I think if you are traveling, then 30 minute JV halves with a 10 minute halftime is fair.
Yes, the varsity should be warming up, but those who have played high school soccer know that there is rarely enough room to do more than jog and stretch off the field, AND if there is room, it is rarelt lighted. That is why 15-20 minutes on the field is required.
However, by eliminating PKs and using two 10 minute OT periods, both games can be as good as they can be without player safety being an issue.
