These formats align with Football Federation Australia’s Miniroos and will provide players with enjoyable match experiences as they learn the game and move towards 9v9 football in U10s and 11s.
*U7 Split Game*
On match day teams will break into two groups to play two concurrent 4v4 games against an opposing team alongside each other. After the halftime break, one team can switch fields and play a second game against another group from the opposing team.
From week to week different combinations of players should be used. This format will help to mix things up, minimise lopsided games, take the focus away from the score and enable teams to remain together moving into U8s the following year.
