Playing Games

The club provides an organised introduction to football for U9's with the total emphasis on "FUN", through structured training exercises.

 

Mini-Soccer

"Mini-Soccer" is the FA approved way for young children to enjoy football and is played by the Under 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's & 11's. Games are played on a smaller pitch, with small goals and up to 7 players on each side.

• There is no off-side

• Rolling substitutes are allowed

• All free kicks are direct

• Opposition players must be 5 yards from the ball for
free kicks.

• Duration of matches vary according to age up to a
maximum of 30 minutes each way

• Footballs will be Size 3 for Under 6's, 7's and 8's Size 4 for Under 9's, 10's and 11's
