U6 & U8    GAMES Why do we let our younger players play 7v7 at such a young age? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for players of that age play 4v4? ·       More touches of the ball ·       Emphasis on technique ·       Master the basics ·       More playing time ·       Less time spent on the bench ·       Size of field relevant to age ·       Happier parents seeing their child playing Can this be set up ready for summer season? Instead of playing on 7v7 field, can we split the field into 3/ 4 mini pitches for the players to play their matches on? Clubs can still keep to the schedule, but play 3 or 4 mini games of 4v4. This will let the players have 3 or 4 games every time they travel. Size of field (pitch) Min (L) 20yds - Max 24yds                            Min (W) 16yds - Max 20yds      U8 can play 5v5, but that includes goalkeeper.
