Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 7v7 Subbing

3 Subs

Players should have the opportunity to play different positions. The easiest way to accomplish this is to pair up positions and then sub front 3 (7, 9, 11) and back 3 (4, 5, 8). 

• Balance your groupings to ensure rotation doesn't hurt your team 
• Different players should be allowed to start in games throughout the season
• Playing time should be distributed evenly in the Junior Academy

Pairings/Rotations:

• 3 players rotate between the right positions 4 + 7 for the week
• 3 players rotate between the central positions 8 + 9 for the week
• 3 players rotate between left positions 5 + 11 for the week

*GK rotation will change this slightly, but you can generally make it happen

EXAMPLE:

At 8 Minute Mark:

• New 7, 9, 11 enter the game

• The starting 7, 9, 11 enter the game as the 4, 5, 8
• One of the starting 4, 5, 8 will be put in goal during this transition

• The 3 that ended the half off will start the game as the 7, 9, 11
• 4, 5, 8 and GK will remain the same

At 8 Minute Mark:

• The players that started the half off will go in for the 4, 5, 8
• One of the starting 4, 5, 8 will be put in goal during this transition

•  The 4, 5, 8 that started the half will enter the game as the 7, 9, 11

2 Subs

Players should have the opportunity to play different positions. The easiest way to accomplish this is to sub/rotate together in pairs. Players should be assigned attacking OR defending roles for the week. Swap attacking and defending roles for the next game week. 

Pairings/Rotations:

• 5 + 11 sub together
• 6 + 9 sub together
• 4 + 7 sub together

*GK rotation will change this slightly, but you can generally make it happen

EXAMPLE:

At 8 Minute Mark:

• New 5 & 11 replace the starting 5 & 11

At 16 Minute Mark:

• New 4 & 7 replace the starting 4 & 7
• One of the starting 4 & 7 will be put in goal during this transition

Halftime:

• 2 Subs out will enter for 6 & 9
• GK will remain the same

At 8 Minute Mark:

• 2 Subs will enter for 5 & 11
• One of the players coming off of the field will be put in goal during this transition

At 16 Minute Mark:

• 2 Subs will enter for 4 & 7
