FORMAT CHANGES
FORMAT CHANGES RATIONALE WHY US Soccer wants to develop players with more: individual skill, intelligence, creativity and confidence. Players should be having fun, and feel free to make their own decisions. These standards were created based on the needs of the players and they also provide for a consistent approach across the country.
FORMAT CHANGES OBJECTIVES WHY 1. Fewer Players = More Touches 2. Build Confidence and Composure 3. Ratio of Players to Field Size 4. Easier Transition to 11v11 5. Better Integration into a Team
FORMAT CHANGES APPROACH Mini Field Field Size 30x20 (Max.) Goals 4 x 8 Four 8-minutes quarters 4v4 Players 8 and younger playing 4v4 need to develop basic motor skills such as walking, running and changing direction. A smaller space will help develop these skills while also providing more interaction with the ball, teammates and opponents.
FORMAT CHANGES APPROACH 7v7 Development Field Field Size 47x30 (Max.) Goals 6 x 18 w. Goalkeepers Two 25-minutes halves Offsides 9 and 10 year old players need to develop speed and agility. For this reason, 7v7 play happens on a larger field where there is more space to control the ball and encounter 1v1 situations.
FORMAT CHANGES APPROACH 9v9 Small Sided Field 6 x18 Goals w/goalkeepers Offsides Two 25-minute halves Max. Field Size 75x47 11 and 12 year olds need to develop coordination, balance and visual awareness. Increasing the number of players requires faster decision making so players can develop partnerships and game intelligence.
