Why Small Sided Games? According to US Youth Soccer
- Because we want our young soccer players to
touch the soccer ball more often and become more skillful with it! (Individual technical development)
- Because we want our young soccer players to
make more, less-complicated decisions during the game! (Tactical development)
- Because we want our young soccer players to
be more physically efficient in the field space they are playing in! (Reduced field size)
- Because we want our young soccer players to
have more, involved playing time in the game! (More opportunity to solve problems that only the game presents)
