For Boys grades 1st-2nd, you will only need 1 parent as a time keeper. Use the kitchen timer in the team bag. Running time, no stoppages. The games are 12-min RUNNING halves with a 5-min halftime, so you just start the timer at the beginning of the game, and let the coaches know how much time is left. Super, super easy.
For Boys grades 3rd-8th, you will keep both a score book and time on our lax clock. Below are two great resources:
