Our Sunday 'Just, Play' Mini Matches are aimed at children who are not able to play in organised teams in leagues.
This will give the children a supported 'match' like experience and enable them to develop and hopefully be able to eventually join a team that play for example in the Echo League. Children can come as individuals and join other children to make a team. Or a children can come along with a group of friends to form their own team. Children will be grouped by ages and friendships and will be play mini matches on a rotational basis. The environment will be 'loosely' structured. We will encourage children to experience playing in all positions to develop their understanding of the 'Game'. Like learning math, they need to learn how to; Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide The children will learn to 'play, through play'! They will get to play Penalty 'Pairs', where they get the chance to score and save penalties against their chosen opponent. We will need a minimum of : 16 players for 4v4 20 players for 5v5 Numbers will be limited to a maximum 6 teams. 3 teams per pitch playing 5 minute matches on a rotational basis. Children will get a minimum of 40 minutes of playing time (in line with FA guidelines) The games will be over seen by FFF coaches Benefits of 'Just, Play' Mini Matches Playing with less players will allow the children: More touches of the ball More 1v1 opportunities More chances to dribble More chances to shoot Simple decisions to make To develop an understanding of football before moving on to play; 5v5 in Year 3 7v7 in Year 4 More players = Less touches of the ball! Less players = More touches of the ball! |

We want to create an environment where the players and their performances are considered more important than the result.
Where the parents come to watch and the coach is there to guide the players through the learning process.
The players are expected to make mistakes and are allowed to learn from them and not berated for them.
The referee is free from abuse and decisions are accepted.
Where the children can basically, Play without FEAR!
“I have learned so much from all of my mistakes, I am thinking of making some more”
