The objective of this study was to know the parents and coaches opinion about the rules and the current competition system in football in under 12 category. A qualitative design was developed, in which semi-structured interviews were carried out in which the opinion of parents and coaches was recorded, first of a tournament with the official rules (Tournament 1) and a subsequent tournament with modified rules (Tournament 2). The sample consisted of 33 parents and 4 football coaches. The following results were obtained from the analysis of the interviews: a) only 57% of the parents are satisfied with the effectiveness of the current rules in the game; b) the group of coaches is not at all satisfied with the number of players (8vs8) and with the effectiveness of these rules in the game (25%); c) 90% of the parents interviewed in the second championship agree that the modification of the rules leads to an increase in player participation; d) the parents consider that the changes in the number of players and reduction of space are not adapted to this category, and would not use them; and e) 75% of the coaches prefer the new modified rules in terms of field dimensions and reduction of the number of players to 5vs5.
