- Go with 3-4 minute cycles, and try not to allow anyone to come off early. If someone is tired, they may just think they can go sit off, I encourage them to finish the cycle (usually only about a minute) then they get to take their break. This is easier on you to keep track if everyone changes together and they are picking up another life skill by having to dig a little deeper.
When I coached I stipulated that the parents have to be on the opposite side of the field as the team. Spectators on one side, players/team on the other.

Keep them away.
