US Soccer Mandates Small Sided Games US SOCCER PLAYER DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND SLSG IL IMPLEMENTATION Scoreboard
Small Sided Game Formats
Small Sided Games • Small Sided Games Mandate – P6 and Premier League • U6-U8: Will remain 6v6 – Wait to see how 4v4 initiative plays out in soccer landscape – In house league, only SLSG teams, non-sanctioned • U9-U10: Move to 7v7 – In line with US Soccer Mandates – Sanctioned league with non-SLSG Teams • U11-U12: Move to 9v9 – In line with US Soccer Mandates – Sanctioned league with non-SLSG Teams • U13+: Not Applicable – Will be determined by League (SLYSA)
US Soccer Rationale: Small Sided Game • Fewer players on the field means more touches on the ball and more involvement in the game, which helps develop more individual skill. Over-emphasis on team development at youngest ages instead of individual development. Smaller sided • matches will promote more focus on individual development. • Players who are more skilled may become more confident and comfortable when in possession of the ball. • The ratio of players to field size is designed to assist players with making the right kind of decisions and improving their awareness. • As players get older, and numbers increase on bigger fields, this approach builds on itself. • And as players get older, the building block approach also allows them to better integrate into a team model where they develop partnerships with other players that make up the team. • Overall, the standards provide for an age appropriate environment where players can achieve these objectives.

US Soccer Rationale Birth Year Registration & Age Group Classification Mandates – Standardize the age registration criteria among every player in the United States Development Academy • ODP • Youth National Teams • • International Competition Unlike small sided standards, birth year registration applies to all age groups of – players and not just players 12 and younger. – This change will allow clubs to be better informed in order to combat relative age effect when making teams for youth players. Bring all players in line with standards for international competition. –
