Copyright Junior Soccer Coach 2004 http://www.juniorsoccercoach.com
We are often asked what is best formation to play mini soccer. There are plenty of different variations on how you can structure your 6 outfield players. In this series of articles we will explore different formations that we have used and seen and outline respective roles that need to be fulfilled in these set ups.
These are not sure fire winning formations! You should know what strengths you have in your team and hopefully, these examples will give you some food for thought on how you may best structure you team. Starting formation two players in defense, three midfielders and one attacker. Organisation
The defense starts with two players in a line who cover left and right sides of field.
The midfield players can be organised in a line or with central midfield player playing ahead of two wingers (more attacking) or slightly behind (more defensive). The lone attacker should take up a position deep into opponents half.
Rules may change from state to state but offisde rule does not apply in mini soccer here in UK, therefore lone attacker can take this position without any worries. Defense
Left and Right Backs, mark opponent's forward(s) and are only real defenders. They have to be dependable and will only play a supporting role in offensive play if your oppenents retreat all players.
