Small-sided games have been part of our soccer history in the
United States for generations. Many of our parents, our
grandparents and our great grandparents immigrated to America
having played this wonderful game in the streets of their native
countries.


Small-sided games are games played on smaller fields and with
fewer players than the adult game of 11 versus 11. Games of 3
versus 3, 4 versus 3 and 4 versus 4 are examples of small-sided
game numbers. As you can see, playing numbers can be even or
uneven and the game can be played.

 

 


In the past it was not uncommon for small-sided games to be
played in the streets and in vacant lots with uneven numbers and
mixed ages. Now the streets are too busy and the vacant lot is too
dangerous or no longer exists. Thus, it has become the
responsibility of the soccer club or youth organization to recreate
the small-sided environment.


This manual provides the information needed to successfully
implement small-sided games in your soccer club. It will cover the
reasons for small-sided games, the implementation process, models
of small-sided game play, recommended modified rules of play
and helpful references.
