  2. Why have changes been made? ‘A real game doesn’t need to be 11v11’ Andy Roxburgh, UEFA Technical Director Space for imagery • Raise the standard of play at national team level. • Develop technically superior players • UEFA technical guidance • Create a better environment for children to play and learn • Increase enjoyment

  3. The Benefits of Small Sided Games Some interesting facts: • 4v4 average findings (against 8v8): • 38 more passes • 35 more 1v1 encounters • 29 more dribbling opportunities (tricks/turns) • 32 more shots • 20 more goals • (Martin Diggle – Bolton Wanderers) Space for imagery

  4. The Benefits of Small Sided Games Further research: • 8v8 in 20 minutes: 2 passes • 4v4 in 20 minutes: 29 passes Space for imagery

  5. The Benefits of Small Sided Games What does this mean for the player? • ‘Better technique’ – more touches of the ball. • ‘More enjoyment’ – more involved in the game. • ‘Better concentration’ – always in the action. • ‘Greater understanding’ – more learning from decisions. • More movement – fewer players, more space.

  6. Regulation Changes The maximum goal size for all age groups is 12ft x 6ft. It is highly recommended that at Under 7 and Under 8 a smaller goal is utilized. This can be achieved through using cones, placing a 12ft x 6ft Mini Goal face down or using specific smaller goals (such as pop up goals).

  12. ‘Behind the Line, Behind the Team’ ‘Our fear, becomes their fear, take the fear away’ (Bill Beswick 2009) • Continued implementation of spectator zones alongside mini pitches at Under 7 and 8 matches. Extended to Under 9 this season. • Barrier runs parallel maximum 2 metres from touchline of pitch, NO spectators behind goals. • Only players, designated coaches and 1st Aider allowed outside zone. • Barrier to be marked by cones, additional marked line. • Safety of paramount importance, if limited space (less than 2 metres) use only cones or marked lines.
