FORMATINS
4-3-3 FORMATINS
Teams will use the 4-3-3 formation, either in its 4-3-3-1 or 4-1-2-3 variations. Teams in the advanced stag(U15 onwards ) can also use a 4-4-2 formation with a diamond in the middle. This system (4-4-2 diamond) provides more space in the wide areas of the field for the outside backs to move forward and join the attack.
BACK
All formation used by the teams in 11-a-side games must keep a back 4 line.The back 4 provides consistency in defense and allows space for the outside backs to move forward when attacking.
9v9
Teames playing 9v9 soccer are strongly encouraged to use the 3-2-3 formation This formation helps players express the principles of play specified in this document.This system allows for better adaptaion to a 4-3-3 foration as the players progress to 11v11.
