Size of Field
Depends on the age of players. Can vary from 30 yd. x 20 yd. up to 40 yd. x 25 yd.. The goals
are 8 feet wide.
The Team In Possession of the Ball
• Can employ buildup by using the entire playing area in terms of length and width
(spread out, possession).
• Can learn and determine team shape, which, in a group of 4 resembles a diamond.
• Can create goal scoring opportunities by taking action either individually or
collectively.
When the Other Team Has the Ball
• The aim is to prevent goals from being scored by getting behind the ball and to regain
possession of the ball.
• Simple principles of defending are reinforced and amplified since there is no spare
defender or goalkeeper.
